Welcome to another episode of Hero or Dick! In this one, we talk about Jane Goodall, the outsider who changed how we see animals and, whether we like it or not, ourselves.

Chimps don’t just climb and stare. They make tools, hunt, form alliances, and sometimes go to war.

If you care about animals, climate, or how science actually works, this one’s for you.

Thanks for listening!

Welcome to another episode of Hero or Dick!

This time around, we jump from local happenings (shout out to Alpena, MI!) to a fast, funny, and frank tour of the Winter Olympics: how the Games are organized, who gets to compete, what the sports actually demand, and why hosting can be both a pride play and a headache. Between curling rocks and ski suit controversies, we land on a simple verdict: the Games bring people together when we need it most.

Thanks for your continued support!

It starts with a borrowed $100, a stubborn teenager, and a ferry that never slept. From there, the Vanderbilt story runs fast—from Cornelius Vanderbilt’s ruthless rise through ferries, steamships, and railroads to the cultural institutions and monuments the family later built to soften the edges.

We end where the money thins and the question sharpens: can libraries, opera houses, and grand estates ever balance out the damage done on the way up? Hero or Dick? The answer isn’t clean—and that tension may be the real legacy.

Thanks, as always for listening!
