This episode is a departure from our usual happy-go-lucky ways, but we think it was fitting and important. We hope you'll agree.

We talked with the fabulous Kiva Bay about her game 12 Hours, homelessness, and much, much more. So the discussion was weighty and we couldn’t feel more strongly about it.

Please rate and review us on iTunes, follow us on Twitter and email us if you want ideas for how to help the homeless (but we'll just refer you to Kiva).
