TOMORROW, I'm joined by Dara Torres, who returned to the Olympics at 41–two years after having a baby–and did something that shouldn't have been possible. What she discovered about training changed everything swimming believed about human limits. Yet almost nobody asked her how.

Was it genetic anomaly, revolutionary science, or something the sport wasn't ready to hear?

Tune in tomorrow to find out what happens when someone refuses to accept the expiration date everyone else takes as gospel.

TOMORROW, I’m joined by Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal ‪@GoodMythicalMorning‬. What began as a blood oath in a North Carolina pasture became something nobody could have predicted: billions of views, millions of subscribers, and a morning show that shouldn’t exist.

But success came with a price they never saw coming.

What happens when the very things that brought you together threaten to tear you apart while 19 million people are watching?

Tune in tomorrow to explore what unfolds when faith dissolves, success explodes, and uncertainty remains.

Hollywood said indie film was dead. These two didn't get the memo.

TOMORROW: A director afraid he lost his magic. A comedian convinced sobriety killed his funny. One radical experiment in Baltimore.

Jay Duplass and Michael Strassner join me to share how they alchemized creative terror into cinematic gold—and why everything you believe about needing permission might be backwards.

The secret they discovered involves prayer circles, broken belts, and the surprising power of making art for someone else.

Episode 933 drops tomorrow.

TOMORROW, I’m joined by Olga Khazan, staff writer for The Atlantic, who set out to investigate personality science… and ended up unraveling her own.

A simple improv class set the whole thing in motion. Where it leads? She never saw coming.

Along the way, she challenges a century of psychological dogma, revealing that who we think we are may be far more fluid than we’ve been led to believe.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by your own tendencies, this one’s for you.

Tune in tomorrow.

What did those years teach him? How does he view it all now?

Surgery update: The titanium in my spine is talking to me.

TOMORROW on ROLL ON: Adam's back from Alaska with grizzly intel. I've discovered why every podcast sounds like a late-night talk show now. And there's a tortoise conspiracy you need to hear about.

Plus: A movie that won't let you breathe, friends doing big things in the Cascades, and three words on my wrist that explain everything.

Don't miss it.
