Summary

This week Pete Dominick and Rebecca Soffer join Negin and talk about the shooting in Buffalo and solutions to stop something like this from happening again. Rebecca talks about her new book, The Modern Loss Handbook, and the words to use when speaking to someone who is grieving. Then, a 'cultural grab bag of topics' from himbos, big companies announcing travel support for their worker's abortions, to fast food's new approach to selling you food: horoscopes.
