About this episode

Matt Bragg and Greta Johnsen trade transatlantic small talk about Fairbanks winters, fancy hotel gyms, anti-umbrella philosophy, and the eternal confusion of "pushing a meeting back." What You'll Hear: Two Hosts, One Overdue Introduction: Matt and Greta realize they've never actually spoken before, despite both hosting shows for Hatch, and fall into easy, wandering conversation almost immediately. Minus Forty and Other Oddities: Greta explains the strange math of Celsius and Fahrenheit meeting at exactly forty below, plus what it was really like growing up in Fairbanks and Juneau, Alaska. The Umbrella Resistance: Matt and Greta discover a shared, slightly militant stance against umbrellas, helmetless scooter riders, and anyone who rents a bike in a city they don't understand.
