Hyperfixed

A year later, Marlena still couldn't stop thinking about this whole ordeal.

And so she reached out to the team at Hyperfixed, a podcast where they try to answer listeners' questions no matter how big or small.

And Marlena had a lot of questions for them.

I want to know who these people are.

So she founded her own Facebook group to create the infrastructure to get these drugs into more people's hands.

She called it FIP Warriors.

Hyperfixed host Alex Goldman continues the story.

Robin Kintz told us that in the beginning, there was really nothing formal about the FIP Warriors Facebook group that she founded.

But Caroline's in Portugal.

We have the live show for Hyperfixed.

So we've just been way too busy to record this week's episode.

We will see you next week.

That sublime laugh is Hyperfixed producer Emma Courtland, and she talked to Kate back in January for an episode that we were working on about tampons, and sadly, that story didn't go anywhere.

But the reason why we're sharing this interview with you today is because our conversation with Kate ended up being fascinating on its own.

And that's for two reasons.

A lot more people than you think are going through very similar things to you.

We'll include a link to Kate's podcast and the company she recommended in our show notes.

Hyperfixed is produced and edited by Emma Cortland, Amore Yates, and Kat Schuknecht.

It was engineered by Tony Williams.

Not only that, it's not an unpopular prison design.

I'm actually working on a story for Hyperfixed, which comes out the day before this comes out.

And it's about a prison tangentially.

And I looked at, there's no reason for me to have looked at it, but I looked at the schematics of the prison and the prison is the exact same shape.

Enjoy the show.

Hi, I'm Alex Goldman, and this is Hyperfixed.

Each week on our show, listeners write in with their problems, big and small, and I solve them, or at least I try.

And if I don't, I at least give a good reason why I can't.

[Instrumental music plays] So I was like, "Huh." I've never seen that before on any of the royalty-free audio platforms I've ever used.

used.To Alice, this seems odd and oddly specific.

And, like, what in the world would you be using this for? But instead of just shrugging it off, in the grand tradition of Hyperfixed, Alice dives deeper.

She runs another search to find out just how many of these prison sounds there are.
