Oh, man. They’re all pretty great. If you’re just looking to kill, like, four fucking hours then check out the “Gulf State Vanity Projects” episode. Hindenburg was good, if you like 19th century failed aircraft. The Iowa Caucuses episode is great if you’re near a politician and can just fucking deck one halfway through.
Just grab the latest and you won’t go wrong. They’re all fantastic.
I did get confused and thought the Killdozer episode was WTYP but it’s actually Donoteat. That guy just sounds like Edit: Ros the guy it literally is, TIL.
Gulf State Vanity Projects, 9/11 (they literally talk about the world trade center’s weird construction), V-22 Osprey, Atmospheric Railways, and The Loop are probably my top 5. Traffic Engineering and “It Snowed in Texas” are both great systems episodes but they’re less funny and more angering. The bonus episodes are all good too and also very long videos, they did a four hour podcast on the history of beer.
Edit: how could I forget the Andrew Cuomo episode. Speculating on the potential corruption of several old Italian American men who have ties to construction firms from New York with the Ironweeds crew.
V-22 Ospreay is my go to, the wine tainting one is also very funny.
I liked the ones about the apartment buildings , Five-over Ones
