The Hi-Five Podcast

What makes a poem a poem? This week, Caleb and Jay stretch the definition beyond the poetry book, sharing five pieces of writing that have stuck with them—whether they came from a poem, a song, a movie, or a TV show. 

The conversation wanders through curiosity, kindness, parenthood, mortality, perseverance, and figuring out what really matters while we’re here.

Some rhyme. Some don’t. Some were never intended to be poems at all. But they’re all words worth remembering.

What piece of writing has stuck with you?

Summer is here, and we’re building the ultimate warm-weather soundtrack. This week, Caleb and Jay count down their favorite summer songs, from nostalgic windows-down jams to sunny feel-good tracks, late-night beach vibes, and songs that instantly transport you to a time, place, or mood.

Jay’s list even takes a little unexpected turn, unfolding almost like a summer love story told through five different songs. Meanwhile, Caleb's list brings it's own mix of breezy, feel-good vibes that capture the season in a totally different way.
