We start with a real upper for episode 16 – healthcare! If you’re just as confused about all the health care talk as we are, we help break it down into plebeian terms so we can all commiserate together with all the knowledge. Plus, get your summer read on with Jennie’s book suggestions and find out why the Vermont Country Store is your new SkyMall.

Happy summer, America (and the rest of the world)! As we reflect on the choices our founding fathers made, we can’t help but think about the decisions our current administration is making. More importantly, the “alternative facts” that are being circulated out in the world. We talk how to combat that and find the truth, plus “guilty pleasures” aka how that isn’t a thing anymore, and summer travel.
