008: Cars we drove. The church we once belonged to. Post-apocalypse talents.

We reunite for our first episode of 2025 and remember our first cars, cars we drove too hard and too recklessly. Kids, please don’t drive like we did!

Then we reflect back on our upbringing in a strange and little-known church that was founded on the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg, an eighteenth-century scientist, philosopher, and mystic. There is so much more we could mine here, and I’m sure we’ll return to this in future episodes.

Finally, we brainstorm possible skills we might develop for a post-apocalyptic world—not survival skills in the typical sense, but skills we could offer roving bands of marauders in return for their protection.
