Summary

On The Gist, more details come out about Garrison Keillor. In the interview, it turns out something can be good for your taste buds without being bad for your health.

In the Spiel, behold, the mystical power of Maine Sen. Susan Collins' talking stick. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
