This is a very different episode, and I apologize for that. But I can't not talk about what's going on in regards to gun violence. So this week's introduction is a plea for everyone to take action and get involved instead of feeling hopeless.

But this is a TV podcast, so I'm covering Stranger Things 4, which I was hoping would help me escape the overall grossness of the world but fell short. Sorry about it.
