The Cicada Lounge Podcast: Recent Episodes
TYTO Productions
Join Jordan, Jack and Jacob on their adventures in The Cicada Lounge. A multi-dimensional safe haven, for world weary purveyors of inter-dimensional flora and fauna.
Find us on our Main-Quest, where we’ll be adventuring through time and space, delving into the mysteries and histories of some of the world's favourite creatures and beasties.
Sometimes we’ll get bored of the Main-Quest, and wander off down Side-Quest avenue (it’s multi-dimensional so we won’t try and explain how to find it) where we’ll pick up some of the latest news stories and talk trash over some drinks in the bar.
Every so often a weary traveller of the natural world stumbles into our little slice of inter-dimensional heaven (it’s ALWAYS just before closing time) Alas, we’ll beckon them to sit down and share their tales of courage and wonder, whilst we prod and probe for the best bits.
This time round Jack takes us on a Deep Dive to explore the Antarctic expeditions led by Ernest Shackleton. Was he one of the 1900s most dedicated scientific pioneers or was he a feckless bumblebutt? or both?! See you on the Endurance. " MEN WANTED, for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honor and recognition in event of success."

Another conversation with nothing being said. Today we talk about the origin of sea monkeys and their controversial creator, Triops being cool/weird animals and Jordans time with greenpeace. Enjoy!
Should we bring Mammoths back? Who the hell knows! Today we talk about Colossal Biosciences and how they are trying to bring back the woolly back from extinction, the Chickenosaurus project, and how ants might use mushroom zombie grenades... maybe.
Jordan, Jack, and Jacob use the Cicada Lounge to travel back in time to the 1300s to learn about Fleas.. yes Fleas! Jordan was tasked by the rest of the gang to do as much research about these creepy blood sucking, plague spreading parasites within a 24 hour period. How high can a Flea the size of a Trex jump? Are Flea circuses really a thing? Can certain Fleas burrow under your skin?.. well listen to the podcast and find out! The end result may make your skin crawl...
Do the finches control Tinch or is Tinch the lord of finches? Just one of the many stupid questions the boys ask this time round. Prepare for bad fish jokes, squid arguments and a happy chappy called Tinch.
This week, Jordan, Jack and Jacob talk smack about animals great and small! Topics include frogs that break there fingers to defend themselves, ants that explode when startled, lab grown brain cells learning to play video games and Jack thinking mustard smells like petrol..
Well, it's Halloween! time for Jordan, Jack, and Jacob to share scary and unsettling stories about the natural world on After Hours!The Cicada Lounge podcast boys would like to acknowledge that the animals mentioned in this podcast episode were exhibiting behaviors that may be shocking and frightening to humans but is considered normal within their given species and the circumstances they were in.
Join Jordan, Jack, Jacob and (good pal) Charlie as they actively profane conversations about the natural world with their inane and uneducated drivel. Natural selection, long eared bats, support dogs for squids, X-wing flying fish, and the Tsavo Lion Maneaters are all mentioned here.. sort of.
Jordan, Jack and Jacob talk nonsense yet again about the natural world (shocker). "Kimono" dragons, rat clumps, parachuting cats we got it all!
Harpy Eagles will take over the world! Join Jordan and Jacob as they talk bull about the natural world. Bedtime owls, killer Kangaroos, Harpy Eagle foot soldiers and drunk calling Jack to roast him about his stupid turtle dreams..
Jordan, Jack and Jacob ramble about atomic bomb tests, Human echolocation and what on earth is a thylacine anyway?.. among other things. (DISCLAIMER) Jordan, Jack and Jacob are NOT experts, just three friends casually chewing the fat with a few beers.
Jordan And Jack talk utter nonsense for half an hour. Topics include the Paris rat problem, scary/not scary dogs with crap owners and teleporting chimps.
In this episode of Lost Tapes Jordan speaks to Lisa Shakespeare who is in the management team for "Fresh Start For Hens", A non-profit organization that rehomes chickens and other fowl to people who want to give them a forever home. The reason that this recording never aired was because of bad sound quality and poor internet connection during the zoom call, this upload has been heavily edited to make it tolerable to listen to.
