Host Lindsey Vernick summarizes a packed episode covering a fatal federal shooting in Minneapolis that has ignited protests, questions about accountability, and national attention.

She also breaks down new cheating schemes hitting digital standardized tests, changing dynamics at Sundance as filmmakers and audiences adapt, and shares personal, light-hearted sick-day anecdotes—everything from Netflix binges to microwave meals and a Peloton voicemail.

Short, topical, and personal, the episode mixes hard news with the host’s candid day-to-day updates and takes.
