They aren’t making new ones anymore, but you might enjoy the back catalog of the “Black Box Down” podcast. I think it had about 12 seasons.

A couple of book recommendations for people worried about this kind of thing.

“Bonk” by Mary Roach. She’s a very good science communicator and is also quite funny. There’s a lot of good info in here.

“A Billion Wicked Thoughts: What the Internet Tells Us About Sexual Relationships” by Sai Gaddam and Ogi Ogas. This book is not rigorous science, but it is no total junk.

Does “thanks, mother fucker, have shit ass day, and please go fuck yourself” bring up my numbers?
