I Ranked All 50 States From Best to Worst | The Ultimate State Tier List (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I finally did it — I ranked all 50 states. For this episode, I’m going through every state in the country and placing them into tiers based on the things that actually matter to me: scenery, things to do, food, culture, weather, places I’d want to visit, places I could actually see myself living, and of course a little completely subjective Wild Will judgment along the way. Some states were easy. Some were way harder than I expected. And there are definitely a few placements that are going to ma
I Couldn’t Put This Book Down | The Quiet Collapse of Us (Book Club #16) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I genuinely could not put this one down. For Book Club #16, I read The Quiet Collapse of Us by Catherine Caragine — and what I expected to read over a few sittings turned into me sitting there for a few hours and reading the entire thing straight through. In this episode, I talk about my experience reading the book, what stood out to me, the moments that made me stop and think, and why the writing stayed with me after I finished. I don’t want to spoil the experience for anyone who hasn’t read it
The Ultimate Impossible Choices Challenge | 100 Questions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are no easy answers this time. For this episode of A New Lens, I’m taking on 100 impossible choices — and I have to pick one every single time. No skipping. No choosing both. And I’m going to try very hard not to hide behind “it depends.” Some of these are ridiculous, some are surprisingly personal, and a few had me sitting there wondering who came up with this terrible choice in the first place. Play along while you watch and make your own picks. When you’re done, let me know: Which quest
The Ultimate This or That Challenge | 100 Questions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Think you can pick a side on all 100? For this episode, I’m taking on 100 This or That questions and choosing one every single time. Some of these were instant decisions, some were way harder than they had any right to be, and a few sent me down some pretty ridiculous rabbit holes. Play along while you watch and see how many of your answers match mine. When you’re done, let me know in the comments: Which question was the hardest? What answer did you disagree with me on the most? How many times d
One Episode Wasn’t Enough… Sam Was Just Getting Started (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sam is back for Part 2, and we picked up right where we left off. This conversation somehow had even more to unpack, with more stories, more tangents, and more of the kind of back-and-forth that made Part 1 so much fun. If you haven’t watched Part 1 yet, check that out first so you can get the full conversation. If you’re already caught up, welcome back. Let me know in the comments what your favorite part was, what we should talk about next time, and whether Sam needs to come back again. If you
