What's That About?

This week we talk about solitary confinement.  We're experts in this having broadcast a podcast to no one for 5 years now. 

In a sadly transparent attempt to garner more attention, Luke and Don take a look at something topical......emerging conspiracy theory "QAnon".  They immediately regret the decision.

This episode we look at the science behind what makes someone cool. Pretty sure researching coolness isn't one of the success factors. 

In this episode we discuss all things UFOs.  Luke completely loses all credibility, while Don remains his usual enchanting self. 

Owe someone money? People out to get you? Married to Olivia Newton John and don't want to be anymore? Well, you should consider faking your own death. Tune in to find out how.

Luke and Don have sanitised their microphones, coughed into their elbows and maintained a generous 1.5m distance to discuss the Coronavirus.....As with all episodes of What's that About, the content is questionable and the anecdotes largely irrelevant.

A very merry what's that about Christmas to you! In this double episode, we tackle 6 mini-what's that abouts. Is MSG bad for you? Why do I look bad in photos? What's up with earwax? Why do bookstores make me go to the bathroom? Why 10 thousand steps? Dejavu (I don't think we've done this before) Get it into your ears this Christmas!

This episode we take a deep dive into The Amish. Beards without moustaches, what's that about!? We also debut an exciting new segment, and then cancel it straight away.

This week we're looking into the massively popular ASMR videos.  These videos are based around extremely close mic'd talking, role playing and scraping noises designed to elicit tingling on the scalp of viewers.  It's even weirder than it sounds- and yet, not as disturbing as a noise Don makes during the episode. 

This episode Luke and Don try to figure out why some people think the earth is flat.....because it's not.... right?

This week we dust off the magnifying glass and take a discerning look at people who fall in love with objects. This will be of particular interest to those of you who have fallen deeply in love with this podcast. 

Essential Oils are going gang busters at the moment, it's now a billion dollar industry. This episode we see "essential Don" and "non-essential Luke" get to the bottom of what they're all about. 

This episode we get inside the mind of a mosquito to find out why some people are tastier than others.

Pimples, they're the worst... but podcasts about pimples are the best! This episode we look at why pimple popping videos are so popular.  

This week we discuss Lie Detectors. Specifically, how they work, how accurate they are and how to beat them. Luke also does an inadvertent impression of a loony tunes character. 

Years ago, two hard working lads named Luke and Don couldn't get a crumb with the ladies. At the same time, hundreds of serial killers and murderers were getting fan mail from women who wanted to date and marry them. It hurt then, and it hurts now. This episode we investigate what that's all about!

We're back! After spending 18 months trying to come up with a new podcast idea, we came up with absolutely nothing. So, with our tail firmly between our legs, we present to you our newest what's that about episode on an extremely hard hitting topic.... why do finger nails grow faster than tow nails?

This week we release our 50th and final episode of What's that about? To go out with a bang, we put on the heavy duty gloves, face mask and DIY work clothes and chiseled out our favourite bits from the previous 49 episodes. It was a dirty and confronting job but someone had to do it (and Mum and Warren Groom weren't available). It's really more appropriately called the 'least worst bits of what's that about'. If you only listen to one episode, make it this one. We hope you enjoy it. Luke and Don

This episode we discuss Urban Legends. We also tackle the age old quandary of how to react when someone accidentally spits on your face during a conversation....as well as what to do when someone has been calling you by the wrong name and you've left it too long to correct them.
