Welcome to Collected Possibilities, an Existential Explorer's Guide into the world of Carnivals, Fairs, Festivals, Amusements, Arcades, and Attractions.
One day we're going to die, so let's make sure we're living our best life before then. Each week host Jason Heat and an ever changing roster of road trip partners channel the fear of mortality into motivation to explore a new amusement or attraction - from the odd and esoteric to the seeming but not quite so mundane - looking to inspire you to have an adventure of your own. Take a trip all across America, from the midway to the highway, the arcade to the concession stand, and listen in on some incredible conversations with fascinating guests.
Part travel guide, part prompt for existential exploration, all a celebration of the weird and wonderful experiences out there.
