Ep 87: Summer Slam’n News Jam’n

This time I take a break from serious discussion to cover a slew of stories from all corners of the web. Clumped around topics of new family types; abortion, new unions; democracy reforms, and more. Always something interesting to talk about. good stuff to bring up at work during if you still have them, breaks.
