Podcast For Your Life
Two non-experts share personal stories and unsolicited but much-needed analyses of life, topic by topic, in 15 minutes or less.
Thoughts from our life, for yours. By Jam and Jason.
Every week-ish, we share thoughts, on a broad topic, for no longer than 15 minutes. We try to stay away from the trendy, and away from topics we could be considered experts on. Essentially the only promises we make are that every episode will include thoughts, and be shorter than 15 minutes.

Money for your life
Money, potentially the most complicated topic we've ever tried to tackle on PFYL. Have we bitten off more than we can chew? Hard to say. But I'll tell you it's definitely hard to chew on money.

Walking for your life
As humans we've tried to find ways to get there faster, but we still have to walk. Animals too. We can't drive our cars into our kitchens. Which leads us to the existential question: would you walk 500 miles and then walk 500 more?

#092 Books: The Crossover. This latest nugget bridges 2 podcasts from the same "for your life" universe. We're honored to have Melissa Collini, host of Chemistry For Your Life, join us this episode for a page-turning episode about books. The plot thickens and the twist is pretty twisty.

Fans for your life
#091 Fans. What are they and why hasn't AC replaced them? Probably because they're more than a device that pushes air. So much more. We dive into some of the top theories about where fans came from, dating back to Ancient Egypt. Nope, not Ancient Aliens. Pharaoh, Pharaoh, oh baby, let my people go so they can fan themselves.

New Milks for your life
#090 New Milk! Brand new milks. Now available. If you're having a little deja who, it's because we've talked about milk before. A while ago, we did a sort of overview of milk. This time, we're exclusively talking about the new milks. Lot's of folks don't like to call non-dairy milks milk. In this episode, we state a few reasons why those folks don't have any friends. Out with the old. In with the new. Shmilk, it's what's for brunch. You can suggest a topic for us to cover on Podcast For Your Lif...

Flags for your life
#089 Flags. What's going on there? This week we dive into this topic with no caution. It's not that controversial right? Where'd flags come from? Why do we still have them around? Why are some of them so terrible? Definitely can't answer that one. Maybe flags had a clear purpose at one point, but what is it now? God help us.

Gardens for your life (with Chauncey, part 2)
#088 Part 2! We're continuing our talk about gardens with Chauncey Allmond, a friend of Jason's. What are gardens? What isn't a garden? Are there accidental gardens?

Long-distance relationships for your life
#085 Distance between people. Like what's up with that? Friends, family, significant others? We don't really know but we've certainly experienced it. Is it a good thing?

#077 Silence This week Jam and Jason dig into silence, the very unsung hero. What is silence, is it golden? Do you love it, do you hate it? Is it rarer now than it used to be? Where is it? Can I hold it? Topic suggested by Lauren in Texas. She wanted us to just fill the entire episode with silence and not really speak at all. I think a lot of people wish we'd do that in real life too.

Kissing for your life

Why do we want to put our mouths on other mouths? Why is there a chocolate named after something that usually involves two mouths, when you pretty much can only use a maximum of one mouth to eat it?

Ellipses for your life
#072 Ellipses The three dots that surround us every day. In our books, quotes, movie posters, and the text messages we don't want to reply to. Where'd they come from?
