"In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes."

It's been 50 years since Andy Warhol was credited with that quote, coining the phrase "15 minutes of fame." In honor of Anthony expanding Backseat Rider into a Chicago TV segment, he asks this week's passengers about their own "15 minutes." This episode explores society's obsession with celebrity and makes us question our definition of "success": is it personal satisfaction or validation from the outside world?

Another school shooting--this one in Maryland--comes just days before another national day of protest against gun violence. With March for Our Lives scheduled for Saturday and National Walkout Day this past week, gun reform is top-of-mind for many Americans, including this week's backseat riders. In this episode, Anthony gets candid perspective from a suburban father who champions responsible gun ownership, a woman who lost her nephew to gun violence, and the owner of an AR-15 rifle (the same kind used to kill 17 high school students in Parkland, FL)
