PropsCast: Recent Episodes
CyberProps
PropsCast is a show that gives proper recognition to the ordinary, extraordinary, and everything in between. Each episode we tell you interesting and propsworthy stories related to a common theme - such as epic parties or remarkable discoveries.
It is hosted by Leah Thompson and produced by CyberProps, a free social recognition platform designed so you can easily give props to anything you feel deserves to be recognized.
I think it’s safe to say that we all have thought about what it would be like to meet an alien. What would they look like? Could we communicate with them? I think most of us have also come to terms with the fact that it is unlikely we will get the answers to those questions within our lifetime (Note: I say unlikely, not impossible). We do, however, still get to learn from the millions of different species on Earth. In fact it’s estimated that more than 86% of animals haven’t even been discovered yet. So although we may not get to know a species from another world, there is plenty to discover about the astonishing creatures on our own planet.
Today’s props go out to extraordinary animals.
I am going to tell you about an animal that rose up in the face of danger, another one that proves animals are capable of much more than we think, and the trick one species uses to achieve a utopian society.

Yesterday, a mind-blowing discovery was made about the existence of liquid water on Mars. This means that not only is there strong evidence that life existed on Mars in the past, but in the present day as well. There could be alien life within our own solar system, just one door over, and we are going to get to see humans check it out for ourselves within 20 years (early 2030's)! But yet, as huge of a discovery as it was, most of us just discussed it with out coworkers for a few minutes, retweeted an article about it, and then went on with our day. Why? Because as much as we like to claim "the world is working against us," life is always giving us plenty of amazing findings everyday, whether as small as discovering that you now like the taste of coffee, or as big as finding out there is water on Mars.
Today’s props go out to remarkable discoveries.
I am going to tell you about an extremely happy accidental discovery, a discovery that spanned across all of human existence, and one that helped me cope with the meaning of life.

We’ve all attended what might be considered an out of control rager, but I guarantee those parties are nothing compared to the ones our ancestors used to throw.
I am going to tell you about a party that may or may not have led to a war between England & France, another one that contributed to the extinction of an entire species, and the story of the ONLY time in history when Russia ran out of vodka.
But what do all of these epic parties have in common? Well, besides the alcohol. They all our deserve props.
