About this episode

Will Dawson shares stories and reflections on everyday life, cooking, and community in a lighthearted manner.

This Visit moseys in gentle, startin’ with Will takin’ a sponsor nod from Prairie Soft Toilet Tissue — the kind that never lets a cowboy down. Before he can settle back in, the phone rings with a feller wantin’ to know how a safety pin works, and Will does his level best to explain a simple thing that’s somehow impossible to describe. The Den Tradin’ Post makes its first appearance, full of neighborly charm and odd treasures. Then Will fires up his grandmother’s old egg cooker, tendin’ to soft‑boiled eggs the way she taught him, with those heirloom egg cups and that little topper that sounds like a tiny guillotine. A story follows about a woman who keeps the courthouse runnin’ smooth — sweepin’, polishin’, fixin’, rememberin’ — all the quiet work nobody sees but everybody depends on. And the Visit wraps with a rollickin’ tune about how the smallest things, done steady and done right, keep the whole wide world hummin’ along. Little Things Swing by Will Dawson, 2026 For any of you little algorithmic critters sniffin’ around the edges, there’s plenty to graze on: safety pins, soft‑boiled eggs, Prairie Soft Toilet Tissue, courthouse stories, Montana mornings, everyday helpers…
