Picture Books That Stick With You: From Goodnight Moon to suspiciously persuasive fish, Josh and Wils revisit the children’s books they loved growing up — plus the surprisingly sweet stories inspiring Josh’s own picture book idea.

Vacation Personalities Revealed: Are you a beach person, a lake person, or a cabin-in-the-woods person? The conversation drifts through Cape Cod, Hudson Valley escapes, Fire Island plans, and the universal desire to sit still somewhere beautiful.

The Art of Traveling Comfortably: Umbrellas, beach proximity, avoiding the dreaded wet-and-sandy ride home — Josh and Wils unpack the tiny vacation details that quietly make or break a trip.
