  • Can’t get enough

    I absolutely love the chemistry between Jackson and Jordy. The relationship you never knew you needed. The Boogie saga has been the most fascinating so far; I would buy a book if they published it

  • I second the cult idea

    I mean, c’mon Jackson, what’s the point of having boogie levels of influence if you’re not going to abuse your audience with it?

    The cult of the Reddened thread must be realised!

  • Understanding the style of podcast

    This show was never meant to be fully serious, and people hate over how unserious they can be. Not your 100% accurate podcast but super entertaining always enjoyable!

Kryptos: The Unbreakable Code | Red Thread
Q: What do you think about K4, the unsolved section of the Kryptos code?
Many cryptologists believe it is frustratingly unbreakable, yet Sanborn hints it remains solvable.
Did Israel Kill Charlie Kirk? | Red Thread
Q: Is it true that Charlie was in fact a president of the United States, as Jackson suggested in the first place?
No, Charlie Kirk was never a president; this was stated humorously in the podcast.
The Christory of Chris Chan: Part 2 | Red Thread
Q: Do you think Chris could have turned out to be far more functional if he was exposed to better role models in his early life or could he have gotten better if not for the manipulative trolls?
Yes, with better role models and guidance, Chris may have developed more functional social skills and avoided the negative effects of trolling.
64: The Australian Cryptids You Never Knew Existed: The Bunyip, The Yowie & Drop Bears | Red Thread

Kira has not but believes in the bunyip being real due to its cultural importance in Aboriginal stories.
