Molly Wood and I (Tom here) have been scheming to make a podcasting project happen for awhile. Well guess what. Here we are with It’s a Thing. The idea is that each episode we will each bring one thing we’ve identified in the world that we think just might have become a thing. Then we’ll discuss. And then you will too. With us or each other. Sound fun? Come back soon for the first episode, then.
