Ungeniused #2 Dancing Mania⇢
On the second episode of my new podcast about weird Wikipedia articles, Myke and I talk about dancing mania:
In mainland Europe between the 14th and 17th centuries, large groups of people would dance in the streets. Were they sick? Was it just a form of escape? Did someone curse them?

Connected #95: RelayCon WWDC 2016⇢
This week’s Connected is something really special:
The Relay FM family comes together in San Francisco to discuss the WWDC announcements, in front of a live audience.
We were joined by Serenity Caldwell, John Siracusa, Jason Snell and CGP Grey to cover Apple’s busy keynote in front of 150 people. It was truly humbling to meet so many listeners, and to those on the waiting list, we will be increasing capacity next year. Thank you all so much, and I hope you enjoy the episode.

Introducing Ungeniused, my new podcast about weird Wikipedia articles⇢
The first podcast Myke and I ever did together was called Ungeniused. On it, we broke down random Wikipedia articles each week.
That was way back in 2011. The show didn’t make the transition when we joined 5by5; we were both too busy for it. Today, I’m really excited to announce that it is back for another season on Relay FM.
Episode 1 is about Action Park, an amusement park with a shocking history, including six fatalities in the 1980s. At the end of the show, we were joined by John Siracusa who grew up visiting Action Park and somehow survived it.
Updating the Relay FM Archive
Recently, some of the retired 5by5 shows that pre-dated several Relay FM shows were taken down. We wanted these archived episodes to be available, so we now have the back catalogues of Bionic, CMD+Space, and The Prompt on Relay FM.
It was fun going through these shows while getting this setup. There’s a lot of great stuff in these archives.
