Erin Ryan and Alyssa Mastromonaco dip their toes into a lot of news topics: South Korea’s birth strike, NYPD’s inability to offer justice to victims of sexual assault, Plan B vending machines, and bad cleaning products. Then, freshly Oscar-nominated (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever) hair expert Camille Friend joins to talk about her design process, working in the entertainment industry, and sharing her skills as an educator in her craft. Next, Julissa Arce and Dana Schwartz come on to discuss a New Yorker book review titled “What’s the Matter with Men?” a question we ask daily and for which we continue to find new answers. Finally, some Sani-Petty.
