Carey Searles got the biggest laughs of the night at our most recent Mission Story Slam for his tale of losing a SEPTA train engine.

So naturally, we asked him what he thinks of Philly’s public transit system on the latest episode of our podcast, which launched our new season on September 1st!

Listen to the full episode of the podcast with Carey Searles now on our website, and grab your tickets to the next Mission Story Slam on November 17th ➡️ MissionStorySlam.org.
