Today’s episode is packed with positivity, laughs, and a few surprises! Our friend Robin Swoboda joins us again as we dive into a mix of trending stories, feel-good news, and real-life moments that made our week brighter.
We’re chatting about:
A new coffee study that finally gives us permission to enjoy our morning cup guilt-free — as long as it’s in moderation!
Google’s Annual Trending Report and the fun (and sometimes random!) things the world searched for this year.
A heartwarming interview with a mother–daughter duo of longtime listeners who traveled with us to NYC — in matching pajamas (or is it puh-JAM-as? pa-JAH-mahs? we discuss!). They share their favorite moments from the trip and what it was like exploring the city together.
Today in History: George Washington crossing the Delaware — plus the massive painting at The Met that sparked a conversation about how huge The Last Supper painting is in comparison. History + fun facts = yes, please!
A cozy, upbeat episode perfect for a morning walk, your commute, or just easing into your day
