Paige went on a forum, hoisted his boombox, and waited until someone reluctantly came out. 

Cutting Room: Strange interviews are often a key part of Paige's video research, but this one was far less meandering than most. We slapped some dressings on it and offer it to you as inside-inside-baseball for a string of upcoming videos.

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.

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.

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

Cutting Room: 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.
