- We kick off the show this week with some TRY GUYS DRAMA. Pam is shook, Andrew is cackling, and Laura is clueless.

- What are the ethics involved with creating and consuming true crime media?
- With a recent Netflix release centered on infamous serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, victims’ families have been vocal about the damage of being forced to relive their trauma through the cultural zeitgeist.
- Do we need to keep rehashing the same traumatic stories again and again?
- As we inch closer to midterms, Laura has an important PSA: Think globally, act locally. Stories of US Governors transporting asylum seekers to other states, the Iranian government’s violent crackdown on protests, and Italy’s new far-right Prime Minister don’t exist in a vacuum.
- Andrew’s Tech Corner gets he and Chloé feuding about Instagram reels, has us cheering for an improvement to Amazon’s ebook return policy, and sending thoughts and prayers to the Instagram employees inevitably training the new Ai that will block unsolicited nude photos.
- This week’s recommendations are for your face: Apostrophe (Andrew), the Weilisi Ring Light (Laura), and Trader Joe’s daily facial sunscreen (Pam).
And in this week’s installment of After Dark, available on Patreon:
- Inspired by this Reddit thread, we’re talking about the adult luxuries we never saw ourselves being obsessed with.
- King beds are game changers for those of us in relationships. Or, you know, just people with dogs.
- What types of things have we splurged on that have improved our lives? Laura only recently discovered the benefits of a good vacuum! Her floor is now SO! CLEAN!
- Better quality also leads to having to buying certain types of products less. It’s a win-win!
