This episode, we discuss the politics of beauty, the "Anglicization" of beauty standards, and the cosmetics corporations role in enforcing these ideals. We're also in WPRB's Spring Drive, where we're raising funds to keep the radio we call home going! It's been a long pandemic, and every bit helps. For the drive, we also included some snippets from Noam Chomsky's and Edward Herman's "Manufacturing Consent" to discuss the importance of independent media.
