The Moment: Recent Episodes
Wondery
Boy meets girl. Boy loses girl. Girl marries girl. Boy gets boy back, but then his family can’t stand him. Wondery’s new series is all about love, relationships, and the sometimes bumpy road to commitment. Host Ingrid Haas (Chelsea Lately, Key and Peele) recently got engaged herself, and she will explore stories from real couples to learn what went wrong, and how they finally got it right. She’ll recount surprise engagements featuring pop stars and tense wedding ceremonies. And she’ll look for answers to the questions that keep us up at night: Will I ever find someone? If I like it, will I put a ring on it? And how the hell does anyone get to happily ever after anyway?
When Guy Raz interviews founders of the world’s biggest companies on How I Built This, he’s looking to dive deep into intimate moments of crisis, failure and eventual triumph.
Guy has interviewed over 500 entrepreneurs behind brands like Spanx, PayPal, Bumble, Starbucks, Lyft, Eventbrite and many more. Each episode touches upon innovation, creativity, leadership and how to navigate challenges of all kinds. The goal is to inspire you to think big and keep chasing your dreams.
In the clip you’re about to hear, Guy speaks with Leah Busque Solivan about one of the pivotal moments of building her company, TaskRabbit.

Where the oddest jobs from the past meet a comedian from the present… and it’s awkward! On this weekly show, Chris Parnell (SNL, Rick and Morty) welcomes guests who have held some of human history’s most unexpected and downright bizarre jobs: funeral clowns, garden hermits, VHS clerks, and everything in between. With the help of his tireless producer, Chris hears from the essential workers from decades and centuries past. Because before there were actual medical doctors, there were barber surgeons. And before there was Instacart, there were milkmen. Wondery’s This Job Is History is a funny, absurd, and informative look into how time can change the way we live and work.
