This week Annie tells Yvie all about Kathrine Switzer - the first female to officially run the Boston Marathon. Although Kathrine was attacked mid race by an official who physically tried to stop her from running she preserved and finished the race. She's worked tirelessly to bring running to millions of women as a way to empower and inspire.

Preamble includes TV show Euphoria, devastation in Texas, and Annie's challenge to buy nothing new all year.

Yvie and Annie have their first on-air fight (which is hilarious) and we get our first Chick In The Now song submission from a listener.
