No Such Thing As Musical Toads
Summary
Recorded at the Lund Comedy Festival in Sweden, this episode explores the university’s “Penis University” meme, its history, and the European “academic quarter” timekeeping tradition. The hosts also discuss the hallucinogenic properties of toad venom, the dangers of cane toads in Australia, and Iceland’s historical use of sheep for warmth in turf houses. The segment concludes with a look at Santa Fe’s adobe architecture, wattle-and-daub construction, and a candy bar recalled for containing actual toxic waste.
