Welcome to Hyperfixation Time! The podcast where two lifelong best friends, Erin and Danny, take turns spiraling over a topic that is weird, wild, or way too niche… and the other one has no idea what that week's topic is going to be. So buckle up, embrace the spiral, and welcome to Hyperfixation Time!
Last week, Danny took us down a rabbit hole with Tarot and Oracle cards. While Erin was showing her Tarot deck, she pulled a few cards just to show the artwork on it, however, after review, we think those random cards were trying to tell us something!
We have been reevaluating things with the pod lately... it's been over a year now, and we want your feedback! What do you like? What do you not like? Any suggestions? Any fun topics or ideas you want us to look into? The floor is YOURS!!

Hyperfixation – Tarot: What’s in the Cards?
Ep. 39 - Tarot cards: mystical fortune-telling tool, portal to the unknown… or a centuries-old card game that got a *very* interesting rebrand?
This week, Danny deals us into the history of tarot. We’re talking about where the cards actually came from, how they became associated with divination, some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding them, and what a tarot reading is really supposed to do. We also get into tarot vs. oracle cards, because apparently they are NOT interchangeable and some of us had no idea.
Then, naturally, we put the universe on the spot and pull an oracle card for each of us. 🔮
Will the cards offer profound insight? Call us out personally? Tell us to get our lives together?
There’s only one way to find out.

Hyperfixation - Lizzie Borden Took an Axe... Or Did She?
Ep. 38 - Lizzie Borden took an axe… or did she? 🪓
This week, Erin takes Danny back to Fall River, Massachusetts in 1892 to dig into one of America’s most infamous unsolved murder cases.
We’re going beyond the creepy nursery rhyme to look at who Lizzie Borden actually was, what happened inside the Borden house on August 4, the strange details surrounding the murders of Andrew and Abby Borden, and the evidence that ultimately put Lizzie on trial. From morphine and burned dresses to questionable alibis, family tension, Victorian gender expectations, and a trial that became a national spectacle, there is a LOT more to this story than “forty whacks.”
Lizzie was acquitted. No one else was ever charged. And more than 130 years later, we still don’t know who killed Andrew and Abby Borden.
So… did Lizzie do it? And if she didn’t, who did?
