This is an educational podcast that explores two people's (Luke and Ezra's) capacity for ignorance. We draw a random subject out of a hat and then talk a little about that subject regardless of how much we know about it. Then, in the second half of the episode, we come back after having done a little research, see what we got right, what we got wrong, and anything else we've found that's interesting.

We talk about true stories that we think should be made into TV shows or movies. First we talk about why they belong on-screen -- then we talk about how we'd like to see them on-air: Who should direct, who should write, who should star. We dig up lesser-known people whose stories deserve to be told, forgotten moments in history, and fresh angles on very familiar memories. Your hosts, Tim and Deirdre, are married writers who only recommend stories that we would personally want to see. Join us ...

I used to think that being a good dad was all about managing the chaos. Providing, being a good husband, feeding the dogs, volunteering at school, and making sure the homework gets done. And, if you can do all that in a nice suburban neighborhood, you're probably really doing well. I checked these boxes on most days and figured I was doing alright. Then, on Nov. 1, 2015, my daughter Galia said "Dad, my leg hurts." I thought it was nothing; it turns out it was something. Acute Myeloid Leukemi ...

Jake shared that he just had a nagging desire to ‘do something’. Life was good, work was good, but still, something creative and generative seemed untapped within him. ...
