The Internet Explorer's Podcast is a comedy-ish, science-ish, history-ish, popculture-ish parody podcast where curiosity meets absurdity. Each week, self-proclaimed "internet explorer" Jimmy dives headfirst into the wildest, weirdest, and most questionable corners of the internet. He “researches” topics like DIY invisibility cloaks, medieval alchemy, and whether plants can feel pain—then confidently explains his findings to a real expert, who sets the record straight while humoring Jimmy’s misguided brilliance. It’s part curiosity, part chaos, and always a hilarious exploration of ideas you never knew you needed to hear.

Send us a text I did something reckless. No, I didn’t stare at the sun—but I did go deep into the bizarre world of sun gazing, where people genuinely believe that frying their eyeballs is the key to unlocking hidden energy, healing their bodies, and maybe even gaining superpowers. Spoiler: It’s not. In this episode, I break down why people believe in pseudoscience, how even smart people (including me) have fallen for it, and why bad science is sometimes just as dangerous as fake science. We’ll also play a fun little game I call “What Actually Happens When You Stare at the Sun?” (Hint: It doesn’t end well.) If you’ve ever wondered why people believe in obviously bad ideas, how pseudoscience hijacks logic, and what makes something real science vs. garbage in a lab coat, this episode is for you. And if you’re thinking about trying sun gazing? Save yourself a trip to the ophthalmologist and just listen to this instead.…
Send us a text In this week’s episode, Jimmy dives into the bizarre and captivating world of medieval alchemy, inspired by a cryptic fortune cookie that sent him spiraling down a rabbit hole of lead, gold, and questionable experiments. Joined by Alex Carter, a curator and archivist with a love for ancient technologies, the two unravel the mysteries of alchemy, from its philosophical roots to its wildest (and most absurd) experiments. Together, they explore how alchemists believed in transforming not just metals but also themselves, blending science, mysticism, and a heavy dose of optimism. Jimmy and Alex also dig into alchemy’s surprising legacy, showing how it laid the groundwork for modern science while reminding us why skepticism is essential for progress. With Jimmy’s signature blend of humor and curiosity and Alex’s deep knowledge (and chaotic energy), this episode is a chaotic alchemical concoction you won’t want to miss. Tune in for the laughs, stay for the enlightenment, and maybe learn why mixing mercury with ambition can be a recipe for both disaster and discovery.…
Send us a text In this episode of The Internet Explorer's Podcast , Jimmy sets out to explore the world of cardboard creativity, inspired by the ambitious DIYers building Iron Man suits out of shipping boxes and hot glue. Joined by Dr. Mike Chapman, a social psycologist specializing in creativity and innovation, Jimmy dives into why cardboard is the unsung hero of the maker world. Together, they unpack how constraints fuel ingenuity, the difference between invention and innovation, and the psychology behind turning humble materials into extraordinary creations. With plenty of laughs, a dash of introspection, and more than a few lessons about problem-solving with style, this episode reminds us that creativity isn’t about perfection—it’s about having the courage to try.…
Send us a text In this episode of The Internet Explorer's Podcast , Jimmy takes on the ultimate sticky challenge: exploring whether duct tape could be the key to making your car fly. While the episode title is pure clickbait (and Jimmy admits it), the journey dives into the world of wild car mods, the psychology of DIY ingenuity, and the essential lessons behind engineering trade-offs. Joined by Dr. John Miller, a materials scientist and self-proclaimed duct tape enthusiast, Jimmy leads the conversation with his characteristic overconfidence, presenting his internet-trained theories about duct tape’s untapped potential. Together, they explore the fascinating psychology of DIY car mods, celebrating the human drive to experiment and create—even when the results are questionable. It’s a must-listen for anyone who’s ever wondered what’s possible with a roll of duct tape, a dream, and maybe just a little too much confidence.…
Send us a text In this episode of The Internet Explorer's Podcast , Jimmy tackles a peculiar mystery plaguing his home: fairies. Yes, fairies.

Along the way, they debate belief, skepticism, and the human need for wonder, all while keeping the conversation sharp, insightful, and full of humor. Whether you’re a staunch realist or a lover of mythology, this episode promises to entertain, educate, and maybe even make you rethink that creaky noise in the corner.…
Send us a text Jimmy takes on the fascinating world of invisibility cloaks, diving into the science behind light refraction, natural camouflage, and the tech that’s inching us closer to real cloaking devices. With special guest Mark Bennett—a leading expert in optical camouflage and a self-proclaimed wizard of light manipulation—they explore why full-body invisibility remains elusive, how nature perfected the art, and what practical cloaking solutions we might see in the near future. Along the way, Jimmy pitches his ideas for everyday cloaking tech (mostly to dodge Carol from HR) and learns that even his boldest dreams might have a photon of truth. Packed with humor, science, and plenty of surprises, this episode will leave you wondering: what would you use a cloaking device for?…

Send us a text Join Jimmy as he takes a deep dive into the fizzy world of kombucha, uncovering bold health claims, clever marketing tactics, and the science—or lack thereof—behind this trendy drink. Featuring special guest Dr. Claire Harper, an enthusiastic expert who breaks down myths, explains the microbiome, and teaches Jimmy (and listeners) how to separate fact from fiction. Together, they explore whether kombucha is the detox hero we’ve been led to believe or just overpriced soda in a fancy bottle. Equal parts humor and education, this episode is a sparkling look at skepticism and gut health.…
Send us a text In this electrifying episode, Jimmy unveils his latest plan to overthrow the power grid with his DIY basement energy empire.

Enter Dr. Felix Powers an actual energy expert, who attempts to ground Jimmy’s over-the-top ideas while sneaking in a lesson about why physics, efficiency, and peer-review actually matter. Will Jimmy see reason, or will he declare himself the Edison of basements? Spoiler: it’s the second one. Tune in for laughs, chaos, and a surprising dose of science.…
Send us a text In the debut episode of Jimmy Googles Again , host Jimmy dives headfirst into one of the most tantalizing mysteries of modern times: reverse-engineering alien technology.
