Israel and the coverage of the ongoing conflict in Gaza continue to dominate our thoughts this week, but we also find time for an, uh, NBA season preview, CIB-style, an extremely kid-unfriendly talk about a terrible article in Slate, and hang out long enough to watch the Phillies eat shit. 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!
