Podcast: Wait, should I not be drinking airplane coffee? - eviltoast

New show from PJ from Reply All.

    I heard this a few years back and haven’t been able to drink the coffee since. I am hoping it is debunked but doesn’t seem likely as it was a pilot that went into the horrible detail of the water tanks and the growth of stuff inside them.

      The show definitely gets into it. One lab tech says he’s never seen anything like it in 20+ years of testing water. Compares it to raw hamburger.
