Cool Weird Awesome With Brady Carlson

It’s 150 years to the day that the presidents of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railroads drove a ceremonial golden spike into the first railroad line to cross North America. That's the big event of the weekend - oh, there's also a thing called Mother's Day? Okay, well for you all let's pay tribute to the Mom For A Minute Subreddit, which provides a virtual Reddit mom for you when your own maternal relationship is unresolved. Plus: the story of writer Dave Wain, who's paying tribute to his recently departed mum by live-tweeting her amazing collection of raunchy e-books using the hashtag #MumsKindleOdyssey.  The golden spike turns 150 (Visit Salt Lake)    Visit This Subreddit When You Need a Mom but Don't Have a Supportive One (Lifehacker)   Mum’s Kindle Odyssey (Dave Wain on Twitter)  Help make Cool Weird Awesome as a backer on Patreon!  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/coolweirdawesome/message
