This week we are meandering fruitlessly around the subject of a mass public shooting until we get to some vaguely satisfactory thought. The reason we accept having these uncomfortable and stupid-sounding and dumb-making conversations is because eventually, in dialogue, we can occasionally come to something that resembles a thought worth turning over, or hanging onto, or at least just saying out loud—even if, upon reflection, it wasn’t necessarily right, but maybe helpful in the ways it was wrong. All that, plus the usual nonsense. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it on Facebook or Twitter, leave a comment on the show’s page on our website, or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!
