We know you're busy, so we've curated a bite size (a fun size, if you will) version of the show with our favorite moments from the week that was. Bryan Walsh is the Senior Editorial Director for Vox and he joins just to talk about why were are so attracted to bad news and with his Good News Newsletter, Bryan is helping to keep those positive stories in our lives. Then, Paul Trebian from The Holiday Folk Fair is back to talk about this year's event and how the exploration of one's culture, can bring us together as a community. And as we always do, let's close out the show with This Shouldn't Be A Thing - Bite Down Edition.
