A boy who can’t dribble gets a coach, a new best friend, and something to believe in.

Why we tell them, and what happens after we do.

Stories of people summoning up stuff that’s usually hidden down deep.

Stories from the upside-down world where conspiracy theorists dwell.

We asked listeners to send us their best coincidence stories, and we got more than 1,300 submissions! There were so many good ones we decided to make a whole show about them. From a chance encounter at a bus station to a romantic dollar bill to a baffling apparition in a college shower stall.

Things we’ve lost in the past year — since the first American coronavirus case — that we haven’t talked about so much. Gossip. The chance to make new friends. And much larger stuff.

People looking everywhere to find a place—any place—where, for once, they don't have to be the odd man out.

There's always someone whose job it is to decide if you measure up.

In these dark, combative times, we attempt the most radical counterprogramming we could imagine: a show made up entirely of stories about delight.

This holiday season, we bring you a show filled with stories of people going to great lengths to throw a special Christmas for their families.
