We're launching something new here at Toxic. It's the shorter, newsy bits of toxicity that you love to hate, coming to you every other week in between our full episodes. Come laugh, cry and scream into the abyss with us about all the ways misogyny infiltrates our world on a daily basis.

In this episode, we're talking BIG NEWS about the capture of one of our previous murderous (allegedly) a-holes who was on the run before we dive into the hot topic of picture books Florida isn't allowing kids to read (spoiler alert: pretty much anything not about straight white people). Because children's books, not guns, need to be more strongly regulated. See this list of 176 books banned in Duval County, Fla., last December.
