Ep 346. Media Controls the Mind

In this week's episode, Shanti announces a much-needed mental health break, while Antoinette shares her gratitude for her 2 Webby Wins for her other podcast "Can't Afford Therapy". Together we discuss the recent political events and mass graves uncovered in Gaza and highlight the funding bill signed by President Biden, which includes aid for Ukraine, Israel, and humanitarian aid for conflict zones worldwide. On a lighter note, for pop-culture, we discuss Beyoncé's long hair and the way she silenced all the skeptics. In the final part of the conversation, delve into a detailed analysis of an episode of Jerrod Carmichael's show, exploring themes of family dysfunction, infidelity, and the search for connection and healing. The conversation ends with a reflection on the complexity of the relationships and the potential for growth and understanding.
