1) First World Problems — Travel Gone Wild
Hook: Did we all forget what "visit" means? In this darkly funny episode we unpack 2025's overtourism meltdown — from Barcelona water‑pistol patrols to influencers treating Venice like a splash zone, statue vandalism, and smuggled wombats. Expect plane chaos, cultural collisions, and nihilistic laughs about the attention economy. Tune in for absurd travel stories, travel etiquette takes, and a warning: don’t be the terrible selfie. Keywords: overtourism, influencers, travel chaos, souvenirs.

2) The Capitalist’s Fever Dream
Hook: We built a machine to sell spontaneity — and it sold us curated city fantasies. This episode follows AI itineraries from Atlanta’s “food highway” to Hong Kong’s ferry hallucinations and shows how data flattens neighborhoods into tourist funnels. We trace the hidden costs — energy, displaced locals, and homogenized culture — and ask who profits when curiosity is productized. Listen for a critical take on AI itineraries, urbanism, and the business of travel. Keywords: AI itineraries, urbanism, tourism, data center.

3) Remembering Tatiana Schlossberg
Hook: She swam a mile the day before she learned her blood was betraying her. We honor Tatiana Schlossberg — environmental reporter, JFK’s granddaughter, and mother — by unpacking her reporting, her New Yorker essay on randomness and loss, and what legacy means in public life. A quiet, elegiac episode about mortality, invisible footprints, and the work of naming the unnoticed. Tune in to reflect and remember. Keywords: Tatiana Schlossberg, environmental journalist, obituary, legacy.

4) Strange Earth Stories: Rocks, Bubbles & a Moving North
Hook: The planet keeps getting weirder. From a 4.16‑billion‑year‑old rock that might hint at early life to methane micro‑lightning will‑o’‑the‑wisps, a sprinting magnetic north, deep‑sea life thriving without sunlight, and gold leaking from the core — we tour the Earth’s surprising headlines. Science explained with curiosity and urgency; perfect for listeners who want geology, climate, and weird‑wonder stories in one go. Listen for the small, strange facts that reframe our place on Earth. Keywords: 4.16-billion-year-old rock, will-o'-the-wisps, magnetic north, deep sea, geology.

5) Can a 34‑Year‑Old Rewrite New York?
Hook: He’s 34, a democratic socialist, and he wants to rewrite NYC. We break down Mamdani’s bold plan — universal childcare, a rent freeze, free buses, and city‑run supermarkets — and the political math behind funding, Albany, and implementation. Is this a rescue plan or a paper promise? Tune in for the policy showdown, the stakes for tenants and transit riders, and the real tests of urban power. Keywords: Mamdani, NYC, universal childcare, rent freeze, free buses, democratic socialist.
