Summary

Do you only unfollow someone on social media when they do something annoying? Or do you unfollow people just because you haven’t seen them in a while? Bethany recently had two people she still considered friends suddenly unfollow her on Instagram, and she has no idea why! So she's getting to the bottom of how different people use social media, including our Tastebuds. Then, Kathleen investigates “the calm before the storm” and why animals are so much smarter than us. Can scientists use birds to help predict tsunamis? Plus, which song from an animated movie is apparently the best song to f**k to?
