In our latest episode, we discuss the "War on Christmas". Michi's share's a little about her recent trip to Puerto Rico. We also go into the controversy behind the 2 supervised injection sites (SIS) opening up in New York City in efforts to combat the opioid epidemic. As promised, we also continue to help raise awareness on media literacy and critical disinformation studies. As we close on a positive note! :-)

Thank you for the continued and growing support. It is much appreciated.
