S5 E8 - Words Always Mean Much Than You'll Know - Ink Well Book Store

Tim Larson and Liz Wylder begin with a little about their show location and then what’s written on a single 3 x 5 index card. It can be ANYTHING and the conversation can go ANYWHERE. It’s amazing how a single word can somehow connect the most extreme topics. Buckle up.  Life’s 3x5s podcast is an unscripted and very unpredictable conversation between two longtime radio friends from a completely different location each episode.
They decided that more time in a studio was just not adventurous enough. So far they've done this podcast in a cornfield, at an airport, in the middle of a farmer’s market, inside a shipping container, in a museum, at a famously delicious restaurant, in a 1927 theater and a state park lodge.
