Hello, Gentle Listener! Would you like a cuppa? Kathleen classes this joint up by teaching the basics on tea and why those Brits love it so damn much. Then, Bethany crawls out of her bunker long enough to connect the red strings on Artificial Superintelligence and explains why you should be freaking out. Plus, it’s SPOOOOOOKY season, so the ladies read the first listener scary story AND the first “Why I’m Voting” submission, and Bethany yells at a bird.
