Why do we say 'steal someone's thunder'? What's the deal with 'making a mountain out of a molehill'? In this episode, we're breaking down the quirky histories and origins of everyday idioms—the ones we use without even thinking about them. 

Victoria, Heather, and Shelley each picked their favorites and share the surprising (and sometimes hilarious) stories behind these phrases. Tune in to discover where your go-to expressions actually came from!

Idioms Unpacked: Where Do These Phrases Really Come From?

This week on The 28th Angle Podcast, we put our partners to the ultimate test… and asked them a list of questions to see who knows their partner best. Tony, Aron, and Wayne all got the same questions — but the answers? Let’s just say some of them came in confident, some came in chaotic, and some… definitely should’ve thought twice. 

We read their answers on air to see: 

 * Who nailed it 
 * Who tried their best 
 * And who is now on thin ice (in the funniest way)  

Come find out which partner won the gold medal… and who needs a do-over. 

Hot Seat: Partner Edition

How American are we REALLY? In this fun and hilarious episode, Victoria, Heather, and Shelley are putting themselves to the test with average American statistics!

We're diving into data about what the "average American" does, believes, likes, and experiences - and then we're comparing ourselves to see just how average (or not!) we actually are.

In this episode, we explore: • Common American habits and lifestyle statistics • What the "average American" eats, watches, and does for fun • Financial statistics and spending habits • Work-life balance and career trends • Entertainment preferences and streaming habits • Travel and vacation patterns • Social media and technology usage • Surprising statistics that might shock you • How we stack up against the "average" • Which statistics we totally relate to (and which ones we don't!)

Get ready for lots of laughs, surprises, and maybe a few "I didn't know that!" moments. This episode is all about discovering how uniquely American (or surprisingly average) we really are!

Whether you're curious about national trends, love data-driven conversations, or just want to hear three friends react to wild statistics, this episode has it all.

Get ready for one of the most terrifying haunted house stories in American history. In this episode, we're diving deep into the Sallie House in Atchison, Kansas - a place where paranormal activity turned from playful to absolutely violent.

What started as harmless child-like pranks quickly escalated into physical attacks, mysterious fires, and unexplainable terror. The Pickman family thought they were moving into a charming historic home, but they had no idea they were about to experience one of the most documented and aggressive hauntings ever recorded.

In this chilling episode, discover:

• The tragic story behind the name "Sallie" and who she really was

• The escalating paranormal activity that went from toys moving to physical attacks

• Why the attacks seemed to target Tony Pickman specifically

• The mysterious scratches, burns, and marks that appeared on his body

• Evidence captured by paranormal investigators over the decades

• The darker entities that may lurk beyond the innocent child spirit

• Why this house continues to terrify visitors to this day

This isn't just another ghost story - this is a case that's been investigated by countless paranormal teams, featured on major TV shows, and continues to be one of the most active haunted locations in America.

Warning: This episode contains descriptions of physical attacks and disturbing paranormal activity. Listener discretion is advised.

We're Back! Season 2 Premiere & What We've Been Up To

We’re not here to judge—because let’s be real, we’ve all been a little petty. In this episode, we’re asking the questions that blur the line: Should you replace something you broke? Is it okay to leave someone on read? And if the service is really bad, do you still tip? It’s all love, all opinions, and a safe space to admit… maybe we’re just a little petty sometimes.

Petty vs. Valid

Three women, three unique perspectives, and endless conversations on everything from life and culture to the unexpected
