13. Not one but TWO graceful mentions of you know what in this ep of How to Do Everything from @npr.org. First it's the influence of 🐴💩 on Labor Day linen/whites-wearing etiquette, then we're reminded of 🐴 & Hound magazine, in the intro to a story about baby teeth. 🏆

12. Blue ribbons to @michaelschulman.bsky.social and Fred Armisen for leaving the studio to clop around NYC recording sounds for this @newyorker.com Radio Hour ep about FA's new sfx record. And for making the very most of a quiet 🐴 moment! Excellent mix by John DeLore, who else ✨ #metafoley
Here's an audio version of this story, on this week's New Yorker Radio Hour. www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/tny...

11. So pleased when Alex Ross Perry utters that ripe ole exclamatory chestnut "🐴shit" while talking about the internal dynamics of producing PAVEMENTS... because, of course, THE HORSE THREAD! 🙌 And because, of course, we ❤️ Pavement.

10. We weren't expecting a mention of 🐴🐴 in this Modern Love ep featuring a woman who craves a certain kind of pain, and loves rope play. But right there at the end host Anna Martin and guest Grace discuss the un-self-consciousness of animals. Fascinating! #hooveslove www.nytimes.com/2025/08/06/p...

9. We are duly reminded of the small but obvs important role 🐎 🐎 play in the classic theater production "Guys & Dolls," thanks to host @iancoss.bsky.social's early thespian adventures, described in a new pod from him and Sakina Ibrahim for @radiotopia.bsky.social

8. Sooooo many South Dakotan 🐴🐴🐴 in Oscar Micheaux's homesteading life pre-legendary-filmmaking days. Who knew?! We do, now, after listening to this epic-sode of Our Ancestors Were Messy, from @nicholehill.bsky.social with @whatsraysaying.bsky.social 🙌

7. Entranced by meeting 🐴🐴 from the dawn of time: three-toed, tiny, ageless, memoryless, always happy, and also 🐴 teeth fossils! All tucked gently into Larry Massett's sublime "Death in Venice," featured on @rumblestrip.bsky.social as part of an ongoing appreciation of LM, who died recently 💔

6. What (bad) luck, to be stomped by a 🐴 while catching your breath in a field after escaping from prison! But this sad happening indeed befell the unstoppable Roger Caron, in the first episode of GO-BOY! from @sammullins.bsky.social @whitewhalepod.bsky.social

5. Hell yes our ears perked when Tina Fey mentioned being a carriage 🐴, of all animals ("worker" type) in the first episode of the extremely good GOOD HANG from @amypoehler.bsky.social

3. In the final episode of "We Came to the Forest" we ear-glimpse the 🐴 stables tucked within the new, highly contested and protested police training facility outside Atlanta. @whitewhalepod.bsky.social

An aside: we've always wondered what cop 🐴es think about being cop 🐴es.

2. Right out of the gate, in ep 1 of Scratch & Win from @iancoss.bsky.social @lacyjroberts.bsky.social @wgbh.org we learn all about how 🏇🏇🏇 racing in NH was the precursor to wide-spread legal, instant gambling across the land!
Part 1: The Instant Ticket
It’s 1974, illegal bookies are everywhere and the brand new state lottery is struggling to compete. But a simple piece of paper is about to change the game forever: the nation’s first scratch ticket.
