53. The Case of The Quilted Hut

This week: we all get told about proper fire protocol by an actual dispatcher, Katie and Tara can’t stop talking birds, Krista commiserates  with a listener who got hoodwinked by a social media advertisement, and we discuss the magic, wonder, and weirdness of targeted ads.

52. The Case of the Fiery Imposters

This week, we’re talking imposter syndrome, and no one is immune - including Neil Gaiman and Neil Armstrong. Brandi and Tara share some personal moments when they felt like they weren’t supposed to be where they are, Krista hits us with some cool science, and Katie tells us about the life-or-death scenario where she never ever hesitates. But first - we all have some very close brushes with FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! The Road Case Official Website [https://www.mybenicenation.com/theroadcase] Join us on socials!
