We Are Monumentally Bad at Statues

July 01, 2026 2:00am 48 min

It seems like the only time you hear about new statues these days is when something goes horribly wrong. Unfortunate bronze renditions of Lucille Ball, Cristiano Ronaldo, Dwayne Wade, and many others are always going vir...

The Tootsie Shot (Encore)

June 17, 2026 2:00am 35 min

You know the Tootsie Shot. It’s that image that pops up all the time in movies set in a dense city: a really busy midtown street, everyone going somewhere—and smack in the middle of it all is the protagonist. You can fin...

Tina Turner and the Dance That Conquered Australia

June 03, 2026 2:00am 49 min

In Australia, no wedding or school dance is complete without the Nutbush, Australia’s unofficial national dance. The Nutbush – a simple line dance to the song “Nutbush City Limits,” by Ike and Tina Turner – has become as...

No Pulp: The Killing of the Florida Orange

May 20, 2026 2:00am 41 min

Like the palm tree, the Everglades, Disney World, and the “Florida Man,” the orange is a classic symbol of the Sunshine State. But maybe not for much longer. Production has declined to catastrophic levels, a decrease of ...

Mailbag: Spooky Strings, Phone Menu Options, and Eye Rolls

May 06, 2026 2:00am 48 min

We are lucky to get fantastic questions from our listeners here at Decoder Ring, and in this episode, we’re going to open up our mailbag to answer three of them. What are the origins of an eerie horror film string motif?...

How to Make Dollars Make Sense

April 22, 2026 2:00am 34 min

Money is everywhere. Money influences just about everything. We think about money all the time. But how much do we really know about it? In this episode of Decoder Ring, we explore the obscure historical forces that make...

One Year: 1995 | Hitting the Spot

April 17, 2026 2:00am 57 min

Last week we aired an episode about lonelygirl15, one of the first proper YouTube stars, and perhaps the most famous example of playing around with the boundaries of fiction and truth on the internet. But it was not the ...

Who Was Lonelygirl15?

April 08, 2026 2:00am 58 min

In the summer of 2006, a teenage girl began posting video diaries to a then-new site called YouTube under the handle lonelygirl15. Within weeks she was a phenomenon—even though no one knew the truth of who she really was...

The Johnlock Conspiracy (Encore)

March 25, 2026 2:00am 53 min

For over a century, fans of Sherlock Holmes have been analyzing, debating, and creating new texts with Arthur Conan Doyle’s characters. But when a fan theory emerged about the BBC TV show Sherlock that posited the inevit...

Was "Eyes Wide Shut" a Warning?

March 11, 2026 2:00am 46 min

When Eyes Wide Shut opened in the summer of 1999, it was widely considered a disappointment. This final film from legendary director Stanley Kubrick had been sold as an erotic thriller, and potentially even a peek into t...

A Prune by Any Other Name

February 25, 2026 2:00am 44 min

The delicious, healthful prune has long had a cross to bear: It’s best known for making people poop. In the late 1990s, the California Prune Board set out on a quixotic mission to amend this sales-flattening reputation. ...

Making Coal Cute Again

February 11, 2026 2:00am 43 min

Three weeks ago, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum shared an unusual tweet: a cartoon image of himself with his arm draped around a giant, anthropomorphized lump of coal. This piece of coal has big googly eyes a...

Is Culture Stuck?

January 28, 2026 2:00am 37 min

It’s a weird time for culture. There is more of it than ever before, it’s more accessible than ever before, but so little of it feels original. New movies are based on old stories, new songs are recycling old hooks, and ...
