    Bob Brigham always knew he was adopted, but growing up, he didn’t know anything about his biological parents. When he was seven years old, a social worker came for a visit and Bob heard her whisper something to his mother – something about the Vietnam War. “Within a nanosecond, I created a story in my head.” Bob Brigham's book is This Is a True War Story.

    Wimbledon in a Cornfield
    May 20 2026
    Mark Kuhn grew up in Iowa in a family of corn farmers. When he was 10 years old, he heard a BBC broadcast of the Wimbledon finals. He couldn’t stop thinking about it — he would daydream about tennis while doing his chores. And one day, he got an idea. “I’m looking at this cattle feedlot when I realized, ‘This is just about the right size for a tennis court.’” This episode was originally released in 2023.
