Medium Dives
Medium Dives is where we chat about anything we find interesting enough to share - society, science, history, cults, crime, or just finding the answers to the things that keep us up at night. Our promise to you is that we will look into things at least a medium amount, but we are too lazy to commit to a deep dive. We absolutely will get off topic, but we think you’ll be entertained. We try to post a new episode every month - follow our Instagram where we will post when a new episode is up! Feel free to email us with topic requests, comments, questions, or just to say hi!
