Sammie

Hey there! I'm one of your hosts Sammie, and I'm basically what happens when you combine a curious mind with too much coffee and a house full of opinionated cats.

As a single mom to one amazing daughter and three cats who clearly think they're co-hosts (you'll probably hear them chiming in during episodes), I've mastered the art of juggling life while trying to share all the fascinating stuff I discover along the way.

I'm a Northern Virginia native who spent childhood summers at the Jersey Shore – which explains both my love of good pizza and my ability to find humor in chaos. These days I call Jacksonville, NC home, where I spend my time diving down research rabbit holes, crafting until my dining table disappears under supplies, and cooking elaborate meals when I have the energy (or ordering takeout when I don't – no judgment here).

I'm basically a professional knowledge sponge who loves reading everything I can get my hands on, then turning around and sharing the coolest bits with anyone who'll listen. Whether we're exploring weird historical facts, breaking down complex topics, or just having a laugh about the absurdity of daily life, I'm here to learn something new with you.

I'm a millennial who somehow ended up podcasting with two Gen X dudes, which makes for some pretty entertaining generational commentary – especially when we're trying to explain internet culture or debating whether something from the 90s was actually cool or just nostalgic.

Fair warning: Between my two human co-hosts and my three feline co-hosts, there's never a dull moment. The cats have strong opinions and zero respect for recording schedules, so don't be surprised if you hear some unexpected commentary from all species involved. They're all part of the charm – or at least that's what I tell myself!
