In the intro to this episode, Jasmin tells us about her recent performance at Mortified. Then, Jasmin and Mariann discuss a recent email from a listener about abortion issues.

Also, they talk about a recent Washington Post piece about plant-based eating. Lastly, Mariann brings us some Rising Anxieties. More info in the show notes!
