60: Supermarket Sweep, Beetle Beer Bottle Sex, and Fake Filipino Vampires of the CIA

500 Open Tabs - A podcast by Kaveh Taherian & Hannah Hillam - Miercuri

This week we're joined by special guest J. L. Westover as we deep dive into the mechanics of a capitalist gameshow of yesteryear, how Australian jewel beetles mistakenly bang discarded beer bottles, and that time the CIA tried to trick a Filipino communist guerrilla movement into thinking vampires were real. A listener email tells us how a Finnish pizza restaurant clapped back at Silvio Berlusconi by making an award winning spite pizza.
