In which we discuss our journey to #Prague including flight delays and the recent shooting in #Czechia. We came to see the Christmas markets and after a few bumps in the road we definitely succeeded. We also discuss Rachel's time in Amsterdam, her newfound love of luggage gps locators, our trip through Prague's Jewish Quarter, and of course the Christmas markets!

In which we discuss stories of Philadelphia, past and present. Once you get through Rachel's intro it gets more cheerful, we promise. We weigh in on that Philly feel, museums, byo restaurants, seeing live podcasts, and leaving behind Air B&B.

Where we discuss our appreciation of you (yes YOU) for still listening. We also preview our upcoming travel plans, describe some format changes, and make promises we hope to keep. Then there's a wee bit of new MCI vs. old MCI chat and a brief discussion of macarons. Let us know your least favorite (or favorite) airport!

Where we discuss our love of train travel, both local and afar, for its FUNctionality and embracing the journey. We cover airport trains, living without a car, rail passes, functional public transportation, and our favorite journeys - including Joyful Trains in Japan. Let us know your favorite train trip and where you think we should go next!

Where we discuss our top list of favorite activities and aspects of our recent trip to The Netherlands, including museums, architecture, transit, food and more in Amsterdam and Rotterdam.

Where we discuss the second, and final, part of our first trip to Sweden, including our last two and half days in Stockholm. We cover highlights, such as the Vasa Museum, and medium lights, such as the ABBA Museum, as well as food, costs, hotels, and public transit. We wrap up with things we'd like to do when we hopefully return in the future.

Where we discuss day four of our trip to Sweden with Rachel's mom to pick up her new Volvo from the overseas delivery program, our short time in Gothenburg, a day trip to Alingsås (including princess cake), and our train trip to Stockholm where we'll start part two! Thanks to all our long time listeners who have stuck with us through our hiatus last year! For new listeners, hope you enjoy!

Where we discuss the almost year and half long project to build a tiny house (technically a small house) on Colorado's western slope - covering why and how we were able to build a tiny house, design decisions, and the exciting (for us) completion.

Where we continue the return to our roots and present Matt's second in-the-moment summary of day two in New York City back in early February. This time he talks about autobiographical art by Winfred Rembert, paintings by Jennifer Packer, contemporary ceramics and craft, and of course Jasper Johns and the beauty of a retrospective. He wraps up with his failed visit to a Nikola Tesla themed bar and instead stumbles upon a semi-secret candlelit bar in Koreatown and some super satisfying Korean fried chicken.
