Several of our listeners on @hyperfixedpod wanted to know: why does every microwave have a Popcorn button and every bag of popcorn tell you NOT to use it? Well we have the definitive answer. And the story is surprisingly deep. Listen to “a button is a promise” on hyperfixed!!!!

On the latest episode of @hyperfixedpod: Sanderson received an email from a friend congratulating him for restarting his long dorman podcast. There is only one problem. He hadn't. Someone had stolen his feed, cloned his voice with AI, and taken over. hyperfixedpod.com/listen/hyp…

lastly, I know that not everyone can afford to support the show, but if you believe in what we're doing, the next best way to support is to tell your friends about the show. Download eps for them! Force them to listen on long car rides! Thanks so much for your support.

On our show we take listener problems and try to solve them, regardless of how big or small they are. A recent episode liked was about why every microwave in the US has a "popcorn" button while every popcorn bag says "DO NOT USE THE POPORN BUTTON" hyperfixedpod.com/listen/hyp…

Hi, my name is Alex Goldman -- you may know me as the host of @replyall. These days I am making a longform narrative podcast called @hyperfixedpod. I am making a small thread to ask to consider becoming a premium member of our completely independent show hyperfixedpod.com/join
This week on @hyperfixedpod — Sanderson stopped making his podcast years ago, but a few months ago it started up again. But this time it was being made by stealing sanderson’s voice with AI, making him say the exact opposite of what he believes. hyperfixedpod.com/listen/hyp…

I feel very lucky to have the job I have, I get to map out weird little corners of the world, and I cold called the guy who registered the patent for microwave popcorn sensors. We talked to the microwave industry and the popcorn industry. We have the definitive answer.

Had a blast on the @WVFRM podcast - got to talk about starting hyperfixed from scratch and what the podcast world looks like now vs when I started 13 or so years ago (much worse!)

This week on @hyperfixedpod-listener @alicewetterlund reached out because she found a bunch of audio that was ostensibly recorded by incarcerated people in a prison. Was it? And if so how do you do that ethically? We get all the way to the bottom of it. hyperfixedpod.com/listen/hyp…
