Kristen Meinzer and Josh Gondelman compare notes on the sweetest kind of reading challenge—and the pettiest kind of gym injustice.

What You’ll Hear

Fifty States of Fiction: Kristen shares her ambitious plan to read one book from every U.S. state (and her early picks might inspire your own reading list).

The Kindest Comedy: Josh reflects on working with the Taskmaster team and what makes truly generous humor.

Grievance Hour: Kristen vents about a pool that’s strictly for kids, and Josh offers the world’s calmest pep talk—plus a splashy new business idea.
