Beautiful Stories From Anonymous People

This week's caller is an avid kayaker with a Friday night all to himself. He tries not to make this episode about kayaking, but come on, when you're this passionate about something, it's going to show up. If you're not into kayaking, don't worry. This one's also about being lonely, making friends in your 40s, and the need for real-world community when everything seems designed to keep us isolated.

What's After Happening Now?

This week's caller is in the middle of a major life pivot, leaving a successful career as a college athletic trainer to become a Montana game warden. He and Gethard talk about the pressure to chase achievement for the wrong reasons and what it means to realize you built a life you never actually chose. They also get into the ethics of hunting, some wild ride-along stories, and we get an update on the caller's dad, our friend the timber faller from episode 355.

What It's Like When Your Partner Dies

A grassroots journalist calling in mid-haircut connects with Gethard over a shared love for community media. Together, they break down why public access matters now more than ever: how local TV and community-powered news can connect neighbors, build trust where traditional media has fallen short and, most importantly, help people tell their own stories. They swap favorite public access oddities (including a cat-costume cuddle show) and Geth shares how his own public access days somehow ended up tied to a Supreme Court case.
