0:00.0 | You're listening to the microversion of the Savage Love Cast at Savage.loaf. |
0:23.0 | I don't like to open my usually fun, usually light, |
0:26.4 | sex advice podcast with bad news, with grief and rage and despair. That's not what you come |
0:32.9 | here for. I get it. And sometimes I can ignore a story that's dominating the news, but other times |
