On this week's episode I review the book, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Find out if it's the book for you. Elsewhere on the show, we examine the claims of blood clotting in the AstraZeneca vaccine. Later we travel to Arkansas where the Republican governor, Asa Hutchinson, vetoed House Bill 1570, which would make gender-affirming care illegal for minors. After the veto, the Republican controlled House and Senate of Arkansas undid the governor's veto. Also, the geographical location challenged and the dreaded musical segment. All this on the first episode of News Nerds season 5, or episode 40!

Music this week was composed by Ketsa. It's called Bashful and was accessed via the FMA, Free Music Archive.
