Summary

Ravi, Rikki, and Joe talk through their updated takes on the chaos that is Twitter. From classifying National Public Radio as “state-affiliated media,” to getting into a feisty exchange with a BBC reporter during an interview last week, the trio ask the question on everyone’s mind: what’s up with this Elon guy? Then the gang jumps into a conversation about recovery High Schools, specialized educational facilities that help students with substance use disorders maintain sobriety while also getting a quality education. We speak with two leaders from these schools to find out how to help America’s teens fight addiction. Finally, we talk about the abortion pill Mifepristone. Unlike all the other media outlets, we aren’t delving deep into the legal conundrum surrounding the drug, instead we speak with two board-certified OB-GYNs to delve into the safety of the pill that’s been causing a big ruckus.
