Erin Ryan and Alyssa Mastromonaco dive into the latest news: racist, sexist, criminal former President Trump got a spicy new indictment from Georgia; menstrual hygiene products are only starting to be tested with blood…now?!; and Hawai’i’ needs money. Next, TikTok’s favorite forager Alexis Nikole comes on to talk about her relationship with nature, how her practice has changed over time, and the foods she wants to pick next. Then, Naomi Ekperigin and Tien Tran join to discuss “How America Got Mean,” the latest David Brooks essay in the Atlantic about the lack of moral education in contemporary society — and why he got some stuff wrong! Finally, Sani-Petty (stop telling me to upload to the cloud!).
