In this week's episode, we introduce our brand new time machine for the first time (totally did NOT get scammed on FB Marketplace) and invite strangers to share their time-travel fantasies. 

From witnessing Alexander the Great's battles to experiencing the electricity revolution with Tesla and Edison, each guest provides a unique perspective on where they'd journey and why. The episode also explores important historical moments like Prohibition and the origins of factory farming, ending with a hopeful message about parenting from a guest who wants to witness his future child's birth. This episode of the Normal Person Podcast covers a wide array of motivations and visions for time travel.
