On this week's episode, midterm primaries are in full swing on the federal and local levels. We talk about some of the elections that took place last week, with Liz Cheney losing in Wyoming, and another familiar name popping up in a special election in Alaska. There's an E. Coli outbreak linked to lettuce (it's always the lettuce), and we talk about countries that are sadly facing famine... (and how you can help.)

What seems to be a regular feature on this podcast: we discuss some climate news, with record heat and drought in China, and wonder why anyone wouldn't be on board with legislation that helps our environment.

In your Good News Corner, Wendy gets a nice e-mail from a big celebrity, a 13-year-old puppy is rescued after 2 months, and period products are now free in Scottland.
