This week, we’re looking at journaling and self-reflection as an act of care — not just for ourselves in this moment, but for the person we’re still becoming.
EmKay shares the joy of finding notes and old journal entries she wrote that serve as reminders and moments of amusement. She also shares her thoughts on life as a garden (inspired by The Art of Stopping Time by Pedram Shojai.)
Plus: Rupert Kettle finds himself in a smooshy-faced dog paradise, Dell continues her unauthorized (and unappreciated) investigation into “the oak tree incident”, and Fenwick artfully dodges an attempted mic steal from Stephen the squirrel.
Pro Tip from EmKay – write a note to yourself where you’re going to put that thing. You may think you’ll remember, but just in case you don’t! Future You will thank you.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
