Ok this week we are doing something a little different. Emily is away on an adventure so we have a special guest this week: Katie Mischler!!!!
Katie and I will be checking in on some of our least favorite corporations, to see what nefarious activities they have been up since we recorded.
We will talk about new PFOA news, Walmarts Apple Juice problems, some new Billy McFarland hijinx and much much more!! We will be getting right back into Crazy Eddie next week but we hope you enjoy!
