Crying

Why do we cry—and why does it sometimes feel so good? In this emotionally soaked episode, Kief and Sage take a hit and dive deep into the science, symbolism, and soul of shedding tears. From the biological basics to the cultural taboos, from Aristotle to anime, they explore how crying connects us to ourselves and each other. Plus: why cartoons wreck us emotionally, and whether tears are the universe’s way of letting the truth leak out. Bring a tissue, and maybe a lighter.
