In this episode, hosts Mr. Robin (Robin Hohweiler) and Mikey-on-the-Mic (Mikel Mauree Robinson) explore America’s obsession with serial killers — from Mikey’s joke about becoming the "Woodward Whisperer" to Robin’s personal encounter with a convicted serial killer. They discuss historical cases, media sensationalism, psychological appeal, the ethics of true crime entertainment, and how victims often become overshadowed by the killers in popular culture.

Episode 113 features Mr. Robin and Mikey welcoming Denver-born, Oklahoma-raised rapper Hector Martinez Soto (Torin). They discuss Torin’s musical influences, bilingual collaborations, and the challenges of building a rap identity in a small western Oklahoma town. The conversation covers Torin’s writing process (how a first line or the right beat sparks a song), early DIY recordings, the importance of syllables and rhythm, and his Brown Pride compilation. He also shares why he took a break to focus on health and how he’s reloading to tour, connect with fans, and keep making authentic music.

In this In-Between episode of Mr. Robin's Hood Podcast, Mr. Robin (Robin Hohweiler) and Mikey (Mikel Mauree Robinson) explore the strange and layered legends surrounding Mount Shasta in California — marmot encounters to a ceremonial 'meat semicircle' to solar-powered Bluetooth speakers broadcasting peace-and-veganism messages. They trace the mountain's history from indigenous sacred traditions through 20th-century occult claims and modern UFO, Lemurian, and Bigfoot lore, and consider how belief, ritual, and expectation shape the stories people tell.

Comedic hosts Robin Hohweiler (Mr. Robin) and Mikel Mauree Robinson (Mikey-on-the-Mic) recount an ill-fated, unauthorized excavation behind a Dollar General before getting down to business and welcoming Dr. Miriam Belmaker, an Associate Professor of Anthropology at The University of Tulsa who explains how tiny animal teeth and 3D imaging can reveal ancient diets, environments, and human migration patterns. The episode explores how climate and local ecology shaped human evolution, the practical realities of fieldwork and museum research, and why education and careful science matter when interpreting the past.

Hosts Mr. Robin and Mikey dive into the weird and wonderful world of side hustles, from renting goats and professional cuddlers to pet-food tasters, paid sleepers, and human placeholders. The episode blends humor, storytelling, and curiosity as they question which odd jobs solve real problems and which are pure novelty. Through lively banter and quirky examples, they celebrate entrepreneurial creativity, consider the sustainability of strange gigs, and invite listeners to share their own bizarre side-hustle stories.

In Episode 111 of Mr. Robin's Hood Podcast, Mr. Robin (Robin Hohweiler) and Mikey (Mikel Mauree Robinson) sit down with science journalist Ingrid Wickelgren to explore the growing evidence that astrocytes—star-shaped glial cells once dismissed as support cells—may play a central role in cognition, emotion, sleep, and behavior. They review landmark findings and experiments, from calcium waves first observed in the 1980s to recent zebrafish, fruit-fly and mouse studies showing astrocytes modulate neural activity across broader timescales and influence state changes like giving up, arousal, and mood. The hosts and guest discuss the implications for psychiatric disorders, future treatments, neuroscience research priorities, and how adding astrocytes to our models could change how we understand and treat the brain. There is also a quick diversion to explore Ingrid's six-degree-separation from William Shatner.

Episode 110 explores the provocative idea that plants may possess forms of consciousness. Hosts Mr. Robin (Robin Hohweiler) and Mikey-on-the-Mic (Mikel Mauree Robinson) welcome journalist Susan Lahey via ZOOM from Portugal to discuss evidence from plant behavior, memory experiments, and theories linking microtubules to wider forms of awareness. The conversation also touches on cultural assumptions about human uniqueness, ethical implications for agriculture and deforestation, and ways to rebuild a reciprocal relationship with the natural world.
