No question too big, no question too small, no question too average.

This year, Search Engine received 4,589 questions.

I read them all on my phone, often when I shouldn't have been.

My favorite one arrived almost exactly mid-year, July 6th at 2.30 in the morning.

As much as I loved it, I also knew as I read it, there was probably no world in which we'd actually end up on the air.

It was too niche.

It was also, frankly, inappropriate.

Definitely a question to entertain my friends at the bar with, but which bringing to an office felt a little close to an HR violation.

Can you introduce yourself?

Um, actually, I'm sorry, would it be possible for me to maybe go by a pseudonym or not have a name?

Nothing would delight me more than to offer you a pseudonym.

Do you have one in mind?

Um, how about Travis?

Travis.

Okay.

We can go with Travis.

Travis had a question about something pretty personal that was happening to him at the airport.

Something he'd mainly discussed with his partner.

So I fly pretty frequently because I live in both Honolulu, Hawaii, and New York City.

Oh, wow.
