That's right, that bubonic plague. We're going to unpack how these diseases are making a comeback, the risks posed by our furry friends, and what precautions you can take to stay safe. But it's not all gloom and doom! To lighten the mood, I'll be tossing around the possibility of bringing on Lara—our always hilarious potential co-host—for 'Freeloader Fridays'.  Be sure to let me know your thoughts on that! And hey, if the minimum wage debate gots your mind churning, bring the conversation over to TikTok or Instagram. Lets talk!  Don't forget to hit like, follow, subscribe, and share the show.
