Description

We know you love our coverage of current headlines, so do not fret, dear listener. On this week’s episode, we continue with that time-honored tradition with Amazon canceling Go (😢) and Apple nixing the FTC Chair from The Problem.  Fun times!

Now, if you like our headlines coverage, then this episode is the one for you!  Where we would normally entertain you with a segment on canola oil or the story of MIT’s infamous “Magic/More-Magic Switch,” in this episode we’ve decided instead to dust off some older headlines that we never got around to discussing but still thought you’d enjoy.

So this week: double the fun, and double the pleasure!  While technically this episode is another one of our “Headlines Only” episodes, it does come with a bit of a twist this time.

And if you don’t care much for the headlines, we got you, fam!  Listen in for the guys' random comments around how one of them celebrated “World Rat Day,” the introduction of the brand-new RamHog, what cj’s tell is, and what “thing” they want to rename “25-to-life!”
