Haha, I misread the assignment, I was thinking Q&A, but this is more geared toward news stories if I recall, I’ll give this a second attempt: I’m interested to hear your thoughts on the Florida aquarium that “could” safe the dying coral reefs. https://apple.news/Av3k8UP1-TfulhhusTdo2IQ And What about the massive fire in the Amazon? If only that was the corporation and not the rainforest eh? https://apple.news/AeRnZ2AGyTCGdvS3LfS-2ng

So what is something about yourselves, maybe a quirk, hobby, fear, so on, that you think would surprise your greater audience? Favorite guilty pleasure movies? I have a soft spot for bad 90’s action flicks like face/off, the quest, starship troopers, etc... What is an extremely embarrassing memory that you are able to laugh about now?

Finally, am I an awful person for finding this both fascinating and despair-inducing? I should note for context that I am going to grad school and half of my cohort is PRC citizens. They're lovely people, but the group includes several loud-and-proud members of the Communist Party of China. https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/the-post-truth-publication-where-chinese-students-in-america-get-their-news

What did we, as a species, do to deserve living in the dumbest timeline? Is this all some karmic payback for inflicting Crystal Pepsi on an unsuspecting universe?

Tom and Cecil, do any of your relatives or extended family, like cousins and distant cousins, know about your show? If they are religious, have they shunned you, and if they are nonreligious, have they been supportive of what you guys do?
Humean, All Too Humean
If you could change one part of your experience in podcasting, what would it be and why? For example, is there a guest you now regret having on, or certain jokes or topics you look back on that you wish you hadn't covered?

How often do you get recognized by Uber drivers, Starbucks baristas, etc.?
