January 14, 2024 Train Guys (E05)
Two rail enthusiasts talk about when that passion becomes counter productive.
Cutting Room:
You know them, you love them, they're why you spent your honeymoon crossing Siberia. They are the men who love trains. We talk about when that becomes a problem, because love knows no limits, but government budgets do. Reece paints a vision for a future where much larger numbers of Canadians take the train and how to build a network from that strong core.
Talk Shop:
We talk about hours lost to comment replies and the latest apple products.

We welcome in Dan of the New Travel for a very meta episode.

Paige has a clickbait problem. He doesn't want to do it, instead preferring a headache inducing firetruck aesthetic that some have described as "Hot Garbage".
In response he's setup "The Thunderdome of Thumbnails" with the experienced clicksperts Reece Martin and Dan Vineberg.
Talk Shop:
The first part of a conversation with Dan about how he managed to do Bachelor of Arts work in a media ecosystem that had just been torched. Covering the easier and good years in Vietnam and Mexico before the bad thing demonetized his life.
