Episodes

  1. TIRE

    Not the “weary” kind, the one attached to your super sweet ‘97 Honda Accord.

  2. PIVOT: Hurricane Harvey Update

    I'm stranded outside of my city, Houston. I can't help my family or my friends. But Hurricane Harvey didn't break our spirits, it unleashed our superpower.

  3. FREELANCER

    The origin of the word freelancer is way bloodier and more epic than you could've imagined.

  4. MOTEL

    Yes. Motels are gross. But their history is slightly less gross.

  5. SALAD

    Did you know that 'salad' and 'salt' have a lot in common? Didn't think so! Keep listening to discover the truth.

  6. BRANDLESS™ w/Ashley Grabill

    BRANDLESS™ just launched, and it's poised to shake up the $600B grocery market. Featuring Ashley Grabill, Director of Communications at BRANDLESS™.

  7. STORYTELLING (ft. JJ Abrams)

    At SXSW 2016, I got a chance to interview a personal hero of mine, JJ Abrams. He talks about storytelling and the elusive mystery box. As he does so, my mind slowly melts in wonder. #Bucketlist

  8. TURKEY

    How is it that a purely American bird took on the name of a middle eastern country? Walk with me, it's quite a tale.

  9. NIMROD

    Is it cool to be a nimrod? Bugs Bunny thinks so! 🐰🥕🏹

  10. HOWDY

    When you think of the word 'Howdy', you think of Texas, right? Welp, it's not from Texas. It's not even from America. It's OLDER than America!

  11. BRUNCH

    Brunch! It's late breakfast, early alcohol. It's also over a hundred years old. And it's delicious.

  12. HAMBURGER

    Ever wonder why a HAMburger isn't called a BEEFburger? Me too. We figure it out, in today's episode of Word Of The Day! 🍔🍔🍔

  13. FLAT-HAT

    We're not talking "flat billed caps" y'all. We're talking airplane maneuvers. For real.
