Comedian, father, day trader, Joe Nudelman complains about it all. We talk about comedy as a poor substitute for family, what defines a good person, and what he wished he knew before he had a kid.

Touring full time out of a Toyota Prius isn't easy, but Reena Calm makes it look that way. One of the country's most prolific independent comics, Reena has put over 200k miles on her steed and she tells me how it works and how it doesn't. We talk about National Parks, asking for favors, changing while driving, and how she ended up living in a car with a partner.

I met Marlow in a coffee shop in Moab. He was writing next to his recumbent bicycle and his dog Flix. He told me he lived in a cave and I instantly wanted him on the podcast to talk about it. I didn't know he was also a talented writer who's book Island Despair would inspire me. We talk about his cave, going AWOL from the Air Force Academy, communes, and taking the blame for a brush fire.

Money separates the producer from the consumer. It separates us from the consequences of our actions. After 15 years of living a moneyless existence, Daniel Suelo was called home to care for his aging parents. We talk about how he got by without directly participating in the economy and what it felt like to go back to bills and grocery shopping. We also talk about living in caves, hopping trains, and eating roadkill.
