Journey to the FringeAuthor: Journey to the Fringe
Thanks for checking out our podcast! We look at fringe topics often neglected, or ill discussed, in a light hearted and open manner. These topics run the gambit from the mundane water pollution, recycling, and tax evasion to the fantastical moth persons, time travellers, and paranormal. For us theres no cryptid too creepy, topic too trivial, or djinn to dreary. Also we like to do exposes on assholes of the UFO community. To keep things fresh (and also because we arent really sure how to start podcasts) we start every week off with a Fringey Mini recent news article and discussion (Its the podcast equivalent of not knowing what to do with your hands). And as we say in our intro from the unexplained to the mundane, join us on our journey to the fringe.

Fringey Mini: Aorticulture
Episode 16
Wednesday, 18 February, 2026
A tidy little lawn turns out to be a tiny green menace in this mini, where UC Davis researchers accidentally stumble into a botanical plot twist: trees soothe your heart, but grass might be quietly stressing it out. Using hundreds of millions of street‑view images and a cohort of nurses, the study hints that leafy canopies act like urban guardians while manicured turf behaves more like a petty saboteur. We’re spiraling delightfully through pesticides, lawnmower fumes, gendered yard work, and the existential question of whether your cardiologist should prescribe “plant a tree” instead of “take a walk.” It’s weird, it’s funny, it’s unsettling — it’s right up our alley.And if you care to read;https://health.ucdavis.edu/news/headlines/trees--not-grass-and-other-greenery--associated-with-lower-heart-disease-risk-in-cities/2026/01
