Did I miss the stewardess saying, “And welcome aboard Flight 972, our Heritage Edition—where we bring you the authentic 1990s flying experience, including spotty Wi-Fi, flip phones in the emergency seatbacks, and a once-a-decade view of someone turning off their Discman?”

In this episode, Dan van Moll is exploring the absurdity of our 21st-century dependence on Wi-Fi as one traveler's inflight connection issues lead to a full-blown mental meltdown at 42,000 feet.

Tune in for a satirical take on modern anxieties, technological expectations, and the existential humor of trying to check Instagram from the stratosphere.

If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if the collective brain cells of a nation took a holiday, look no further than the United States, where the absurd has become the national pastime and common sense is more elusive than a Wi-Fi signal in the subway.

In this debut episode Dan van Moll travels deep into the North American psyche in between TikTok challenges and Trump rallies.
