The fires raging in southern California have us feeling a little helpless and a little philosophical and a little hesitant to come to any firm decisions about who ought to be blamed, contrary to seemingly everyone else out there. We further digress about medical assistance in dying and one forgettable new song and one extraordinary old one. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it by joining the conversation on our Substack or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!

Show Rundown and Relevant Linkage can be found on our Substack.
