New Roads, New Rules

Send us Fan Mail What does it actually cost to be alive in 2026 — compared to the world we were born into? Terri and Sandi were both born in 1970, and this week they're getting into it. From 36-cent gas to $4 a gallon. From a $17,000 house to a $436,000 house. From buying a brand-new vinyl album for $3.33 to dropping $45 on a colored vinyl reissue of the same record. The numbers alone will ma...

Send us Fan Mail There’s a place we all visit… usually late at night…  when everything gets a little too quiet and a little too honest. It’s where all the things we swore we’d do “someday” live. The goals.  The dreams.  The versions of ourselves we thought we’d become by now. And if we’re being real?  Some of them aren’t just sitting there… they’re haunting us. In this episode, we’re opening the d...

Send us Fan Mail When did everyone become famous for… existing? This week on New Roads, New Rules , we’re diving headfirst into the chaos of modern fame — filters, fake lives, apology tours, reality TV romance, AI deepfakes — and asking the question we’ve all whispered while scrolling: What are we even watching anymore?
