Hyperfixed & RadiotopiaMaybe it’s just a quiet annoyance you’ve grudgingly learned to put up with, or a life defining issue that makes it hard to move forward. Whatever it is, Alex Goldman — reporter, radio producer, and overconfident idiot — will get to the bottom of it (if there’s a bottom to be found. Results may vary).

Apple Podcasts5Nathan statismUnited States19 days ago - Intrusive Episodes…
Hyperfixed, along with at least two other Radiotopia shows, started dumping “Intrusive Episodes” into their feeds. These are unwanted, unpredictable, and often disruptive. These Intrusive Episodes are random episodes of other people’s podcasts, with no introductions or explanations.

But more importantly, he finds his... more
