Cool Weird Awesome With Brady Carlson

This week we're re-delivering some of our favorite episodes about letters, packages and deliveries. In this episode from July 2021, the US Postal Service launches ZIP codes to quickly sort huge amounts of mail and get it to where it needed to go, with help from a mascot named Mr. Zip and a jingle sung by Broadway legend Ethel Merman. Plus: a runner in Ontario runs a moose-shaped route through downtown Toronto.  ⁠The ZIP Code Turns 50⁠ (TIME) ⁠Ethel Merman⁠ (National Postal Museum) ⁠Toronto cyclist rides 101km to make the most Canadian Strava art⁠ (Cycling Magazine) ⁠Our Patreon backers got rhythm, they've got music, they've got podcasts, who could ask for anything more?  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/coolweirdawesome/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/coolweirdawesome/support
