Alex Cohen talks #OscarsSoMen with California native and director of "Little Women,” Greta Gerwig. But before that can’t-miss conversation, Alex digs into the key moments from the week, which include Governor Gavin Newsom zeroing in on homelessness in his State of the State speech, and a quarantined Santa Clarita couple's journey back home. Later, producer Esther Lee joins Alex for a haiku battle — about wild animals!

 

About that news haiku: each week on the podcast, Alex Cohen and producer Esther Lee turn a news story into 17-syllable poetry. Check out the latest haikus and help them decide who is the better poet.
