  Hyperfixation - Lizzie Borden Took an Axe... Or Did She?

  Sep 23, 202650 minS1

  Ep. 38 - Lizzie Borden took an axe… or did she? This week, Erin takes Danny back to Fall River, Massachusetts in 1892 to dig into one of America’s most infamous unsolved murder cases. We’re going beyond the creepy nursery rhyme to look at who Lizzie Borden actually was, what happened inside the Borden house on August 4, the strange details surrounding the murders of Andrew and Abby Borden, and the evidence that ultimately put Lizzie on trial. From morphine and burned dresses to questionable alibis, family tension, Victorian gender expectations, and a trial that became a national spectacle, there is a LOT more to this story than “forty whacks.” Lizzie was acquitted. No one else was ever charged. And more than 130 years later, we still don’t know who killed Andrew and Abby Borden. So… did Lizzie do it? And if she didn’t, who did? _____________________________________________________________ **FOLLOW US!

  Hyperfixation - The Little Free Library Rabbit Hole

  Sep 9, 202648 minS1

  Ep . 37 - You’ve probably walked past a Little Free Library without thinking much about it. A tiny house, some books, take one, leave one. Simple, right? Apparently there is SO MUCH more to them. This week, Danny takes Erin through the history of Little Free Libraries, how they became a worldwide phenomenon, what emotions they might bring someone, and some of the creative, weird, and wonderful versions people have made along the way. Oh, and how do they relate to the late great QUEEN Dolly Parton? (RIP). Plus, stick around to the end to hear what 3 books each of us would put in our own LFL.

And yet… nothing.This week, Erin finally investigates the strangely dramatic world of quicksand. What actually is it? Where does it happen? Can it really swallow you whole?

  Hyperfixation - Pokémon GO: 10 Years of Catching ’Em All

  Aug 12, 202638 minS1

  Ep. 35 - On this episode, Danny is taking us back to the summer of 2016, when parks were packed, PokéStops were sacred gathering places, and perfectly reasonable adults were wandering around outside trying to catch a digital Pidgey. With Pokémon GO recently celebrating its 10-year anniversary, we’re looking back at the game that became a full-blown cultural phenomenon almost overnight. Danny dives into how Pokémon GO came to be, what made it explode in popularity, the absolute chaos of its early days, and how the game has managed to stick around for an entire decade. Whether you were out hunting for rare Pokémon in 2016, still play today, or somehow watched the whole thing unfold from a safe distance, come revisit one of the strangest and most wholesome collective obsessions of the 2010s. Embrace the spiral and stay curious. _______________________________________________________________ **FOLLOW US!

  Hyperfixation - Fresh Starts: Why Your Brain Loves a Clean Slate

  Jul 16, 202642 minS1

  Ep. 34 - Why do we feel like a new year, a birthday, a move, or even a Monday gives us the chance to become a completely different person? This week on Hyperfixation Time , we're diving into the fascinating psychology behind fresh starts. We explore the Fresh Start Effect, why our brains love symbolic new beginnings, how temporal landmarks help us separate our past selves from our future selves, and why these moments can actually boost motivation. We also unpack why some fresh starts stick while others fizzle out, the surprising science of habit formation, and how you can use these psychological quirks to your advantage without waiting for January 1st. Whether you're moving to a new home, starting a new job, or simply looking for a reset, this episode is all about why humans are wired to believe tomorrow can be different. Grab your favorite drink and come hyperfixate with us. **FOLLOW US!
