The Internet Explorer's Podcast
The Internet Explorer's Podcast is a comedy-ish, science-ish, history-ish, popculture-ish parody podcast where curiosity meets absurdity. Each week, self-proclaimed "internet explorer" Jimmy dives headfirst into the wildest, weirdest, and most questionable corners of the internet. He “researches” topics like DIY invisibility cloaks, medieval alchemy, and whether plants can feel pain—then confidently explains his findings to a real expert, who sets the record straight while humoring Jimmy’s misguided brilliance. It’s part curiosity, part chaos, and always a hilarious exploration of ideas you never knew you needed to hear.

Foreign Accent Syndrome: When your voice betrays you
What if a bump on the head could completely change your voice and make the world think you're from another country? In this episode of The Internet Explorer’s Podcast, we explore the strange and fascinating world of Foreign Accent Syndrome, a rare neurological condition that causes people to suddenly speak with a foreign-sounding accent even when they've never left home.
Your boy Jimmy dives into real case studies, breaks down the brain science behind speech and identity, and unpacks how Foreign Accent Syndrome became internet clickbait and TikTok fodder. From strokes and brain injuries to media hoaxes and viral videos, we separate the real from the ridiculous and ask deeper questions about how your voice shapes who you are.
Whether you're a neuroscience nerd, a fan of weird medical mysteries, or just someone who enjoys internet rabbit holes with actual depth, this episode will make you rethink what it means to sound like yourself.
