Oh hi there, glorious listener pals!

Today on the show: A discussion on how we seek out joy during a time of overwhelmingly rampant news coverage. Where are the slithers of light amongst the dark? Where is the line between being educated about world events and being utterly overwhelmed? Then, we jump right to the biggest pop culture news story of the week - the Woody Allen memoir that was pulled just before its release to the public.
