Conspiracy theories come true, humanities funding cuts, Elizabeth Holmes interview

They're getting the hang of this! Hosts Caitlin and Emily are back to chat through light-hearted current events, culture headlines, and bits and bobs in between. Today, they cover the importance of studying the humanities, reading fiction books, and believing in *some* conspiracy theories. Millie Bobbie Brown referring to herself as a Trad Wife has Em up in arms, and so does the People Magazine interview with Elizabeth Holmes, who is currently serving a prison sentence.

In good news, Thomson Reuters wins an important AI copyright case, and the Fake Drake AI-generated song really sucks. To help you wind down, we made a new podcast called Quiet Company. Give it a listen on Spotify, Apple podcasts, or wherever else you enjoy listening.
