Would you name your child just Danny? Or just Dan? In this episode, I read comments under the following posts from the subreddit Name Nerds: How's Dan for a girl's name? Is naming a boy just "Dan" weird? What do you think of Danny as a standalone name? We don't like Daniel or Dan. As reluctant as I am to include my own commentary at length in episodes, you'll hear my take on the Danny topic at the...

"Folk with a Rock 'n' Roll Soul" — that is one way to describe Austin-based singer-songwriter Dan Guevara's sound! You might also say Dan's music reminds us that we don't always have to rush through our days; we can be a guiding light to someone in a dark place; and there can be comfort and solace in saying goodbye. It's also OK to look back and laugh at our missteps in romance — our "procrastinat...
