This week Erin Ryan and Alyssa Mastromonaco talk about how the old timey sexism of dress codes isn’t actually that old timey at all. Then, Francesca Fiorentini joins Tien Tran and Kiran Deol to talk about ghosts: as in the kind that haunt abandoned amusement parks and the kind that haunt our nation’s history. Then, as always, our hills.
