In this episode of Awesomesauce, we dig in to the world of dumpster diving. We learn  who's doing it and why. We even went dumpster diving ourselves! Tune in to see what we found on our dive and how this episode can change the way we look at food and food waste.

Last Month, the annual World Happiness Report was released. It ranks over 130 countries in order of their overall happiness. In this episode of Awesomesauce, we share the top 10 countries and try to learn some secrets to happiness that we can apply to our own lives. Tune in or be less happy for the rest of your life!

As the world's population explodes to nearly 10 billion over the next 25 years, the planet is going to experience a protein shortage. Not to worry, insects are here to save the world. In this episode of Awesomesauce, we discuss why eating insects is the perfect solution to our protein problem. And if we're doing a podcast on eating insects, we have to – you guessed it – eat insects. We'll tell you which are pretty tasty and which are totally nasty. Apologies in advance for all the crunching and munching.

In addition to the regular full episodes of Awesomesauce, we will be recording shorter segments that feature a positive, funny, awesome news story. These shorter episodes will be called Awesomesauce News. 

In this first news segment, we highlight a story about a raccoon that has found his butt in a little trouble and how he gets out of it with the help from some human friends.

The rockets that transport astronauts into space represent the pinnacle of technology. The bathrooms aboard these spaceships, though, not so much. Until now.
