We bounce from time change feelings to bigger questions about transparency, risk, and choice in modern life. Along the way we unpack permanent daylight saving time, AI labels in music, a tragic prank accident, teen money on Roblox, sugar in coffee drinks, and why burnout makes some workers secretly hope for layoffs. 

• personal takes on spring forward versus evening light 
• British Columbia moving to permanent daylight saving time and why people want it 
• listener habits and rituals around the time change 
• Apple Music requiring AI tagging and what transparency could change 
• why AI still needs human oversight in creative work 
• a Georgia teacher killed in a prank gone wrong and what accountability looks like 
• teens earning huge income through Roblox game creation 
• the creator economy gap between teens and adults 
• RFK Jr challenging sugary coffee drinks and the limits of regulation 
• mid-career burnout and the appeal of severance as a reset button 
• practical advice to build financial cushioning before quitting 

It would be really interesting to find out from our viewers and our followers and everything to find out which do you prefer? Do you like it to keep changing or do you prefer it to stay one way or the other? 

Meryl has a really fun show on Tuesday, March 31st at Flappers in Burbank.
