Host Tom McKenzie takes you on a journey from the exuberance and moral reckoning of the Roaring Twenties to the economic despair of the Great Depression, the rise of fascism, and the outbreak of World War II.We connect these transformative decades to the present, revealing how the challenges we face today echo the crises of the past.

From economic instability and social upheaval to rising authoritarianism, Tom explores how our current world bears striking similarities to the past cycles of history—and what we can learn from them as we navigate our own Fourth Turning.This episode is not just about the events of the past, but about understanding their relevance to the present and our collective future.

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
