Three stories, three minutes, evening edition — let’s go!

Today I’m talking about a federal court striking down a 158-year-old ban on home distilling, scientists arguing that lobsters feel pain, and why IRS staffing cuts suddenly have some people feeling a little too confident at tax time.

It’s one of those episodes where every story feels like a different version of the same basic truth: the second people think the rules changed, things get weird fast.

Listen to the audio above.
