Back before smartphones ran our lives, one “mobile” phone changed everything—and yeah, it looked like a cinder block with an antenna. In this episode of One Drink Podcast, we crack open a cold one and rewind to the debut of the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X—the original “brick.” We get into what it cost (brace yourself), how long you could actually talk before it died (hint: not long), and why carrying one in the 80s basically screamed, “I’ve made it.” From dropped calls the size of...

When Boris Yeltsin came to the United States in 1989 to speak, visit with the President and see the Statue of Liberty, his entire outlook on the world changed in one :20 minute moment. But it wasn't NYC or Miami or President Bush. It was Randall's Grocery Store in Webster Texas. This is the story of the history of that moment. In this episode we cross paths with Marjorie Merriwether Post, IBM, Spectra-Physics, Wrigley's Gum, James J. Hill, Clarence Saudners, Williams Leslie Maxson, Boris Yeltsin and Grape Nuts.

Most fictional horror is simple. There's something evil and the protagonists want to flee or fight it. Real horror is different. It's evolved. In an era of algorithmic manipulation, the monsters aren't what we run away from. They're what we run toward. The Deep Dream State is based on that premise, and Vale Four extends it. Each Cycle is about a different ad phenomenon, seen through the lens of desire horror. Cycles are about jingles, expression reading, micro-targeting, gaming, and astroturfing. We've built a thinky and kinky podcast around this premise; we hope you enjoy!

A family drives home from a swim meet thinking about Christmas plans and seconds later everything is unrecognizable. Our guest, John Ulsh, walks us through the head-on collision that nearly killed him and his entire family, the other driver’s death, and the recovery that followed: massive internal injuries, an induced coma, a nursing home stay, paralysis, and a long list of surgeries that kept coming for years. We also talk about the parts people don’t see when they hear a “survival story” h...

Just in time for Frederic Church’s 200th birthday, we’re taking you along for a "boots on" tour of the moving landscape he spent decades designing here in the Hudson Valley. I’m walking the carriage roads of the Olana Historic Site with Annik LaFarge, author of the new book Composing Olana: A Journey on Foot Through Frederic Church's Greatest Work of Art. It’s the first book about this thoughtful and artful landscape.You’ll hear the wind in the trees and the crunch of the gravel as we discover how Church used the earth itself as his canvas—from a man-made lake that mirrors the Hu
