Episode notes
Did you know the vanilla flavoring in your ice cream might come from a beaver's butt? ...We said what we said. 🦫
Welcome to Valid Source? — The podcast where we investigate the internet myths, viral claims, and trending gossip you've been thinking about but haven't had time to research. We're not experts. We're just two friends willing to do the extra digging.
This episode: Harley almost loses a leg in a parking lot, Ashley doesn't feel the love at Jimmy John's, we break down Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show and what it meant for Puerto Rican representation 🇵🇷, we go deep on the Tyra Banks ANTM documentary, and then we investigate beaver butts. Because of course we do.
Valid Source? verdict on castoreum: technically possible. Extremely unlikely. Still gross.
⚠️ Content Warning: This episode briefly mentions sexual assault and eating disorders.
