This week we’re remembering remembering 9/11, wondering if there’s anything to be learned from the way we collectively react to big and terrible events, and chatting about how a story about the silly loopholes people jump through to “buy” marijuana explains our appetite for bullshit. 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!
