Gary Arndt has visited over 140 countries, spoken on every continent, and produced more than 1,400 episodes of his podcast Everything Everywhere Daily. But beneath the stats is a storyteller who’s driven not by clicks, but by curiosity. In this wide-ranging conversation, we dig into the evolution of online content, the dangers of algorithmic gatekeepers, and why podcasting might be the last true vestige of the old internet. Gary shares how a background in competitive debate shaped his approach to storytelling, how he survived the collapse of travel media in 2020, and why asking “why is the alphabet in alphabetical order?” might be more useful than it sounds.

A thoughtful, funny, and unexpectedly hopeful look at where we’ve been—and where we’re heading.
