Outside The Footnotes
Outside the Footnotes is where a good story turns into a much bigger conversation.
Hosted by Wendy and Klynn, each episode starts with something that grabs our attention — a strange piece of history, a true story, a cultural obsession, a bizarre event, or a rabbit hole we couldn't stop digging into.
We tell each other the story, react to it in real time, get distracted, ask questions, laugh, disagree, and inevitably end up somewhere we didn't expect.
Because the story is only the beginning.
The real conversation lives in the footnotes — the overlooked questions, human behavior, contradictions, and uncomfortable truths hiding underneath what happened.
No lectures. No pretending we have all the answers. Just two people who are endlessly curious about why people do the things they do.
Stories worth getting lost in. Questions worth getting stuck on.
Because sometimes what's missing from the conversation is where it gets interesting.
