Advertise on podcast: That's a Thing?!

At the ripe old age of 20, Elizabeth is now too geriatric for this show. So here is our finale, in which Karen reviews some of the lessons she’s learned from doing this podcast, and Elizabeth corrects her, as always.

What do we do about “bad” art? Argue about it on Twitter, mostly. This episode, Elizabeth and Karen step into a space of nuance in an attempt to understand shipping wars, extreme fandom behaviour, and the value of uncomfortable art.

Elizabeth sows some FUD about making money with Roblox, Wattpad, and OpenSea. Welcome to post-scarcity economics, kids.

Elizabeth takes Karen on a journey through fast fashion, influencer capitalism and the single-wear nightmare.

What if TV but too much? This and many other important questions are kinda-sorta-almost answered on the scarier side of the Summer of Spielberg. Elizabeth and Karen puzzle their way through Poltergeist in this 100% not-haunted Halloween episode.

Can a podcast be haunted? No, that’s very silly and wouldn’t be scary at all. A cassette tape, on the other hand… Elizabeth and Karen dial in to the world of analog horror, what it is, what it could be, and why going low-tech ups the scare factor.

While the olds weren’t looking, the youngs invented yet another art form on TikTok and its copycats. What's more, it will probably have mutated again by the time you get to the end of this episode.

Are you in danger? How much danger? How much are you willing to pay to be in less danger, and who’s cashing those cheques? Elizabeth and Karen tumble down the safety capitalism rabbit hole.

Have you watched Bo Burnham: Inside? Do you enjoy listening to passionate people talking about the art they enjoy? Do you have a high endurance for unjustifiably long podcast episodes? Then this bonus episode is for you! If this isn’t your thing then have no fear, a regular episode of That’s a Thing will be out soon.

Elizabeth and Karen go on a powerful and superficial quest for self-understanding. On the way they find witchcraft, pseudoscience, and maybe even themselves. We’ve consulted the stars and they say you’re in for a wonderful podcast experience. The stars are never wrong. ;)

The internet contains untrue things. Elizabeth explores how tributes to a beloved children’s author got hijacked by accident, and how kid-friendly cooking videos are not always what they seem.

We bid farewell to a piece of internet history, and (lovingly) rip off the McElroys in the bargain.
