That's Absurd Please Elaborate1 Apr 2023

An Absurd Trailer

It's finally happening!! This trailer should explain exactly what the heck you're about to hear. You’ll also get some marimbas (they’re nice).

Have you ever wanted to ask your smartest friends your stupidest more embarrassing questions? Then this is the place for you.

That's Absurd Please Elaborate is made by Julian Huguet and Trace Dominguez, two professional nerds whose day job is to create content for PBS, Discovery, Vox and other award-winning publishers. With our decades of experience in science communication we will answer the most ridiculous questions from guests, the audience, AI-bots, and the Internet™!

Do you have an absurd question? Maybe a silly idea you had, a shower thought about the nature of reality, or a ridiculous musing about your favorite food? No matter the question, if you want a well-researched answer: tell us!

Submit questions directly to us with this form: https://notionforms.io/forms/have-an-absurd-question or email them to hello@thatsabsurdshow.com. If we use it, we'll give you a shout out in the episode!

We create art for each episode of That's Absurd Please Elaborate! See it on our Instagram @ThatsAbsurdShow and our website ThatsAbsurdShow.com. While on our site you can listen to every episode of the show and find full transcripts whenever we can make them.
