Pour yourself something warm. This one's for the curious.
The Mark & Toddcast is your weekly escape from the algorithm, the outrage cycle, and whatever fresh hell is trending. For 11 years and over 300 episodes, two Portland friends have been doing exactly what you wish you could do with your smartest, weirdest buddies: sitting down with a drink and wandering through whatever's genuinely interesting.
Consider us comfort food for your brain.
Instead, expect pure, unfiltered curiosity about topics like:
-
Why we absolutely hate the sound of our own voices
-
The secret origin of the biohazard symbol
-
America’s classified, Cold War plan to nuke the moon
-
The Stanford Prison Experiment (and why it was actually kind of BS)
-
Portland’s infamous Barbie-hacking culture jammers
-
The unsolved mystery of the Toynbee Tiles
-
And yes... the actual science of farts
What’s in an Episode?
-
The Catch-Up: A little life banter between two long-time friends.
-
Just the Headlines: A quick spin through the weirdest, wildest, and most interesting science/culture news of the week.
-
The Deep Dive: A 20-minute, high-level plunge into whatever strange subject one of us couldn't stop reading about.
Meet Your Hosts:
-
Mark spent his twenties operating nuclear reactors for the Navy, then came home to Portland's Silicon Forest to keep the machines that build microchips running. Now, he’s a technical director who helps companies get found online.
-
Todd has lived several lives—ad copywriter, artist, Newsweek-published writer, and an unrepentant Madonna superfan. Today, he’s a therapist who helps people untangle their stories and reconnect with the humans around them.
Pull up a chair. Grab a beverage.
Science is funny.
