Summary

Today, we're talking about weighing yourself before getting on a flight, standardized tests making a comeback, and whether you can still make honest criticism publicly. We'll also ask the question: what does bravery mean to us? And to help break all of this down is artist and filmmaker, Danielle Durchslag, and New York Times best selling author, Laurel Braitman.
