What do you think is hiding on a 20-year-old iPod that someone forgot in a drawer? In this episode, Andrew and Indiana share three news stories and trends they came across recently. The first is about a woman who buys old iPods and shares the playlists she finds on them, like a small window into strangers' lives. After that, they talk about a new idea for spending less time on your phone, and a surprising change in what makes food popular today.
