Jump into Alchemy’s 25th episode, where we’re tackling aliens, existential dread, and... hamster funerals? From the mind-bending “Xir” aliens (designed by The Snark) to snack-obsessed invaders and animatronic space creatures, Tim and LeeAnna take you on a wild, wild journey that will make you question everything—including your pet burial rituals. Buckle up—it’s weird, it’s deep, and it’s sometimes inappropriately hilarious. Don’t miss it.
A quick reminder: Alchemy is proudly ad-free. No interruptions, no corporate sponsorships, just pure, unfiltered creativity. But if we were to run ads, we’d totally recommend getting insurance for your pets—especially hamsters. Because let’s face it, when your hamster’s last rites cost more than a weekend break in the countryside, you’ll be wishing you had that coverage. So, while we won't be taking any hamster insurance sponsors today, we’ll keep the show rolling—ad-free and hamster-crisis-free (for now).
