Jim Crawford's podcast (THD) contains many clues. It is available on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy5JGFfB4yEmIajXWgD17Ag , and at http://trainhotdog.cool/ .


Rider Mail

Each episode generally contains a segment called "Rider Mail" where listeners can call or write in, either by phone at (469) BEARDS-4 or (469) CEASE-PI]. It is also possible to leave a rider mail by posting a youtube comment on a THD episode. Rider Mail may contain clues, but my also contain copious red herrings, because it is impossible to know whether or not an individual message was written as part of the ARG.

Episodes

No. Title Subtitle on Wiki Solved Clues Unsolved/Potential Clues
1 Dorf on Golf [This episode transcript is a work in progress, but less of a work in progress than it was a while ago.] The first letter of this episode, when combined with that of the next two, spells out DNA.
2 Nintendo Nepotism [This episode transcript is not yet finished]
3 A History of Username Decoration [This episode transcript is under construction]
4 XOOX [This episode transcript is incomplete] This title is often considered a divider - If there is a DNA related clue, hidden in the titles, it is assumed it stats from the next episode.
5 Groovy Adult Master [This episode transcript has some issues.]
6 Drabtz [This episode transcript isn't perfect.]
7 Keyboard Kato [This episode transcript needs your help!]
8 Touch Inference
9 Hot Dog Time Machine Pixel Strips in Youtube Thumbnail
10 Steam Hot Dog Borg King of Spades visible in spectrum.
11 Sedona Party Clowns Pixel Strips in Youtube Thumbnail
12 Stay On Your Toast [This episode transcript is missing important information] Encoded Message leads to time-travel.club. Audio slowed down says "I have a message for/from Jim Crawford" Pixel Strips in Youtube Thumbnail
13 Butt Folk [This episode transcript has nothing to prove.] Spectrogram contains gadsby/password123. Pixel Strips in Youtube Thumbnail
14 Discharge Contains a Ridermail from Tunisia discussing time travel. There are Quotation marks in spectrogram around this section.
15 Water Reckoning Pixel Strips in Youtube Thumbnail
16 A Trip Through the Graphics Pipeline
17 Kitten Gains/Decay Truth [This episode transcript is more like a synopsis] Youtube image shows the title 'Decay Truth' upside down. The wiki page was initially labled 'Kitten Gains', but was edited to 'Decay Truth' by a user named Gustav Klimt. Missing from YouTube playlist.
18 Nightcore Night Court [This episode transcript will feel better next week.] Around 23 minutes into the podcast you can hear the train conductor voice say, "Attention Passengers: Don't believe his lies. Find the truth about the decay. Thank you."

Jim reads the stack trace error incorrectly

19 Dog Holding a Bucket
20 BART Noise Reduction Plugin Pixel Strips in Youtube Thumbnail
21 Shark Lips Contains slowed-down speech that is found to be a line from Myst mentioning 'Red Pages'. Jim reads a Ridermail that mentions 'Herbie Screams'
22 Ashen Stools Braille in spectrogram contains the GPS coordinates for Indiecade Referenced to on a plane February 3, 19- Possibilities are;The day the music died, 1984; Space Shuttle program: STS-41-B is launched using Space Shuttle Challenger; 1966 – The unmanned Soviet Luna 9 spacecraft makes the first controlled rocket-assisted landing on the Moon.
23 Accessory Bolt Holes for Camel
24 Flirting in Traffic
25 YouTube Videos I Like
26 Extrinsic Blood Coagulation Cascade
27 Enhance Any Dining Experience
28 The Fifth Most Important Cereal Crop Grown In The World
29 Bumper Sandwich Booger Lips Contains a Slow Scan TV signal, decodes to operation gobbledop picture by using a program called MMSSTV. You just play the audio while the program is running and it automatically recognizes the format and decodes the image. This was most likely meant a Happy Thanksgiving message from the developers.
30 Mobius Face Meeting Itself Arcade noise in the background are this http://arcadecontrols.com/files/Audio/arcade86.mp3
31 Krampusloaf id3v2 tag info for thd31.mp3:

COMM (Comments): ()[eng]: "We're in space, and space is the place," Began the Champ, pallid utterly; "The madness is running wild, and so shall you."

32 Blini Jim just says Blini for 2 minutes. He also tweeted "Train Hot Dog, with its most recent episode, has achieved 32-bit fidelity".
33 Bagophily
34 The Brown Devil Inside
35 No-Han Pics Suspiciously, Jim read from a page on the wiki that was created only days before the release of the podcast. There was only one reference found to any Bigger Luke theory before the ARG started.
36 Gunmetal and Tennis Balls
37 Top Ten Citrus Fruits The MP3 version contains a thumbnail of the Museum of Jurassic Technology's logo.
38 Odonym Missing on trainhotdog.cool. Only available on youtube.com
39 The Invisible World of Urine
40 GopherVr
41 The Noisy Organs
42 Ultem Glasses Airplane This episode title has an abnormally large number of anagrams. One of note, due to it's release proximity to the propaganda posters is "line up all art messages". As we have been unable to figure out how we should line up the art messages, this is generally considered to be a coincidence.
43 Desolate Clovis Jim talks about DST, which would seem to reference the camelCasing in the metadata of the Propaganda Posters
44 GDC March Dog The first of a monthly episode recorded by Jim, Justin and Rachel, on their drive to and from the 2016 Game Developer's Conference.
45 Poop Dreads The first in a run of episodes in which the G of Dog, the word 'episode' and number, and the first letter of the episode title, (P, in this case)are in a different font to the rest of the title card on Youtube). This lasts until episode 60.
46 Poison Oak Place Several audio glitches surrounding Jim saying the word 'oak'. In some, it sounds like it is being screamed, possibly by someone else.
47 GDC April Dog Appears as 'April GDC Dog' on the Youtube title card, meaning the A is in a different font, rather that the G.
48 Happy Tooth, North Carolina
49 Modern Day Desk Sentence
50 Cronenburger
51 GDC May Dog Transcript by Quaxo http://trainhotdog.wikia.com/wiki/GDC_May_Dog
52 Unicode Disaster
53 Waffles Are For Pubic Lice_ Pancakes Are For Head Lice
54 Nictitating Membrane
55 GDC June Dog
56 Numerous Usurpers
57 A More Glabrous Body
58 Beef Despair
59 GDC July Dog
60 Let Me Show You Them
61 Likes: Standing Up Against Tyranny From this episode, the unusual font changes that began in episode 45 have returned to normal.
62 Pineapple Hot Dog
63 The One Where Jim Doesn't Talk Hosted by Justin, rather than Jim. He reads out a list of events that occurred in 1901, tying into his recent references to this era. Many of the facts are inaccurate, including Abraham Lincoln being exhumed and becoming the first Cyborg, and Alfred Nobel inventing antimatter. Annie Taylor going over Niagara Falls in a barrel is also mentioned, which he also brought up in a previous podcast.
64 GDC August Dog
65 The Other One Where Jim Doesn't Talk This episode was recorded by user Terkim Fethrog, who sent it to Jim to upload. At the 6 minute mark there is a message in morse code that has been translated to; "Terkim Fethrog is with you. Stay Safe. Frog got your back." There are several incidents of backwards speech. When played reversedthey say "Let's keep this time loop" and "I wonder if I can escape this time loop".
