    The Twist Podcast 326: Luggage Cart Wars, Rick Joins Substack, and An Interview with Angela Luna
    Apr 27 2026

    Welcome to The Twist, episode 326. We have a packed show for you today. The luggage cart wars are real — we're talking about the unspoken battlefield of airports and hotels where perfectly reasonable people turn into territorial strangers over a metal cart on wheels. Rick Rose has officially joined Substack, and we'll get into what drove that decision and what he's planning to do with it. We also have a terrific interview with Angela Luna that covers some real ground.

    Beyond that, it's a full episode — we get into what's been bugging us this week, because there is always something. We have our Hit List recommendations, the things we've been watching, reading, eating, and generally can't stop talking about. And Jo stops by with her weekly wisdom, because every episode needs a little Jo.

    All of that on episode 326 of The Twist.
