Hello! Today, my coworker, Jim, is our last guest for season 8, and he’s talking about the correlations between boats, bicycles, and the Bible.

This is such a cool episode, and exactly why I started this show in the first place - giving people a p...

Back at the end of the autumn season, I stopped by a small community arts fair, and and a surface-level small talk with one of the artists turned into a deeper conversation and I asked Marian if she’d come on the show.
