Rat Birth Control

This week on West of Knowhere, We reminisce about nostalgic 90s things, pay tribute to the late Dame Maggie Smith and Kris Kristopherson, and uncover a scandalous tale of a sex party that tragically ended with a priest's death. Additionally, we discuss Tokyo's innovative dating app aimed at boosting their declining birth rate, juxtaposed with New York City's unique approach to rat population control through rodent birth control. We also highlight a remarkable achievement by a woman who set a record for traversing the entire Appalachian Trail. In this week's "Am I the Asshole?" segment, we unravel a family drama involving stolen perfume and a demand for repayment. Special thanks to our supporters Pantera Girl, Colton Zammersla, Andre Spias the God, Kevin Garahan, Chantel and Mark Stadler, Colby Jordan, Kylie Ganguish, and Reverend Professor Rusty J.
