Could you imagine waking up and having a completely different accent? It’s a very rare (and very real) syndrome, and Bethany’s going to tell you about it! Then, Kathleen’s signing everyone up for Debate Team. Could you advocate for a topic you completely disagree with? Kathleen and Bethany are going to try!
Oh no! Kathleen has dysentery! Caulk your wagon and float it across the river with Bethany as she rolls down memory lane on the old video game The Oregon Trail. Then, grind up some gelatin and grab your meat because Kathleen has some crazy strange recipes from back in the day.
Bethany is excited about some of her ideas for the new country house. One of which includes 'black magic.' Kathleen wants to know if she is a serial killer when it comes to bugs. Everyone is trolling everyone when it comes to toe rings and 3-D printers.
Dennis and Bethany are moving in together! After a long day of driving around and viewing houses, they discuss their new place and, even better, the incredibly creepy house they passed on. (Would you live in a place that had a separate locked room you weren't allowed to enter?)
True crime lovers! Have you ever seen a show where someone’s put a bunch of little depth markers all over a skull to help them turn it into a realistic face? How in the world do they do that? Bethany is here to explain the process of forensic facial reconstruction. Then, wash your damn feet! Kathleen’s sharing some foot doctor horror stories that will remind you: take care of your piggies!
STOP what you’re doing and back away from that vaginal steamer! Kathleen wants to keep your insides *and* your outsides (front to back) safe from the crazy wellness trends that most of us are guilty of buying into. *cough* Apple Cider Vinegar *cough*. Then, Bethany’s Waze app took her on a route that was all cattywampus and it formed a conspiracy theory in her thinkin’ brain. She shares this and other suspicions she has!
It's a family reunion because Bethany, Kathleen, and Dennis are in the same room for the first time since 2020! Somehow everyone ends up talking about the bad things they did as teens. Dennis thinks he's sandwiched between two goody two shoes. Bethany had a high-stakes run-in at Rick's Castle Foods. Kathleen reveals why she didn't get into Fordham. AND... Bethany is still mad about an apple she didn't get the chance to eat in 1997.
An Acquired Taste has a new bonus podcast! The Check-In is where Bethany and Dennis discuss their relationship, how they manage dating AND working together, and just generally tease each other in public. The Check-In comes out twice a month, right here on your Acquired Taste feed! Email us: thecheckinmailbox@gmail.com! After grading themselves on how they did in the relationship this week, serial-pranker Bethany sits Dennis down to let him know which two situations she will never joke about: being abducted, and......what?? Then, the two plan their strategy when the dead inevitably rise. (Hey Siri? Search "How to hotwire a Winnebago.") Please support the companies that support us!

Get your powdered wigs on! It’s time to judge some people on the internet. Kathleen is bringing back a favorite and having Bethany (and special guest Dennis!) weigh in on Redditors who are wondering if they’re in the right or wrong. (Who knew driveways get could so heated??) Then, Bethany is telling her absolute favorite strange story about a mysterious European man who showed up in a Tokyo airport, claiming to be from a country that didn’t exist. Or did it?
Welp, that cements it. The robots are rising sooner than we anticipated, thanks to some ill-advised scientists figuring out how to grow real human skin on a robot finger. Kathleen has that story - and why boy bands and frogs have more in common than you thought - on her weird science rundown! Bethany covers why streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are canceling awesome shows after only a year or two, and she goes through some that should have been canceled waaaaaaay before they were. And the show ruins Gossip Girl. Again.
