Light Roast

A jury says Meta and Google owe millions over social media addiction (can we send them a bill?). A police officer allegedly “shape-shifts into a frog” (kinda). Plus, 66% of adults think they deserve Easter baskets more than their kids. We also get into phone systems that offer “almost Spanish,” the mysterious fate of unsold Girl Scout cookies, tomatoes that smell like _________ (too weird to print), and a chance to realize your dream as a video store manager. Oh—and Fred Rogers is coming to YouTube, a neighborhood that could really use a nice guy. Thanks for listening to Light Roast!! Connect with us on our Facebook Page, give us a follow, leave a review, and share with a friend! Follow Obadiah and Mindy on Instagram:@lookatobadiah@mindy_rossNot social on the media?
