If Radio Topia was a place, it would be the junk drawer.

And I don't mean because anything here is junk.

I mean, because it's so fun to go in there and you never know what you're going to get.

There's things that you love that you forgot about and you find new things that you didn't

even know you had.

I'm Ian Chilag, the creator of Everything's Alive.

I'm Aisha Menon, writer and host of Mumbai Crime.

If Radio Topia was a place, it would be like Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.

Your golden ticket to a world full of possibilities.

Everything's Alive is a proud member of Radio Topia from PRX, the home for independent podcasts.

I'm part of Radio Topia because they have always put creativity over profit.

They understand and nurture the unique.

And that's what we are.

Thank you so much.

Dina, you're a pacifier and your gift is pacifying, it's calming, which is a very precious

thing to be able to do.

I wonder if it might be good if you could just, you know, there are people listening to

this who might be angry, who might be agitated.

Could we try just through listening to this?

Could you try to pacify them?

Oh, yes, I can certainly try an auditory pacification.
