Downers

EPISODE 88 // When people move or pass on, they leave behind stuff. It can be weird to go through the artifacts of someone's life, picking out which pieces you want to keep. It can be weird to deal with both emotional and literal baggage at the same time. So we devote the hour to STUFF and the INHERITANCE of STUFF. It's another Hao-less episode (sorry guys I was out of the country). Also: MEDITATION CORNER. KATE HAS A CHAIR.

Plugs this week:

• BILL WURTZ, musician and gifted YouTuber (Jack)
• GOOD EATS: RELOADED, old Good Eats episode but updated (Kate)
