Narwhals are the Unicorns of the Sea 23.09.2025

Surprise, Ireland 18.09.2025

Oops… a planned trip to Poland, where Courtney wanted to cover the anniversary of the final Soviet troop withdrawal, turned into a last-minute tour of South West Ireland - after Courtney was in Donegal and Northern Ireland last week for a conference. Still bummed we didn’t get to do any of the Poland plans, but felt it for the best at the moment, and we have a fun episode full of Irish adventures....

Parental Love is Stockholm Syndrome 04.09.2025

Sorry we’re only getting one episode up this week, its a big travel week with Lee’s family taking a little road trip and Courtney heading to Ireland for work… lots of interesting stuff coming up next week!

Hotel Design Peaked in the 1970's 29.08.2025

Women Need Things Explained to Them Sometimes 26.08.2025

Courtney is heading to Europe for September, and we chat about random continental quirks, as well as other nonsense like naming kids weird names, Costco rotisserie chicken, and Lee telling his wife to calm down. After recording, I found a route to avoid the pride of Ireland, so hold your prayers for me for now. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get a...

Don't Ever Call Me Irish Again 18.08.2025

Adam Smith Wandered in Reverie 08.08.2025

We tried to actually focus for an episode and went on even more tangents, so that’s quite on brand for us… but come join as we talk the downturn in US tourism and what the media is saying about that (and why we think it might not be accurate), Lee makes the most unflattering comparison he could think of for me, and we talk about more US and EU differences. A note on sound: towards the end lee gets...

Random Questions 24.06.2025

I think I edited out all the times I was badgering Lee over the sound of his microphone - which was actually being caused by feedback in MY headphones because MY audio was messed up - so if there’s any bit of that, that’s what I’m complaining about :) Someday I will learn how to operate a computer.

The Kids Yearn For The Mines 03.04.2025
