Ep. 128: Charest Is History

In this episode of Manic Joy, Reese unwraps one of the most thoughtful gifts Dave has ever given her—a subscription to History By Mail.

That kicks off a delightfully nostalgic conversation about Reese’s love of history, Jackie Robinson and Chock Full o’Nuts, Annie Oakley’s offer to lead 50 sharpshooters, and Johnny Cash’s presidential penmanship.

Plus, a heartfelt detour into parenting, AI, and analog joy. There’s also sock drawer drama, meatball hats, and a cocktail that tastes like dessert—because obviously.
