Ride

This week, we're considering control. Is it an illusion? Why do we hurt ourselves and others when we feel out of control? Our picks tackle this thorny topic. Plus, the Broads consider our gross out-of-control habits, how spontaneity is terrifying, and why we need a house elf. And much more. LINKS: Listen to "Ride," the song from Twenty One Pilots that inspired this week's theme. Get a Broad's book: Order Dig Me Out by our own Amy Lee Lillard now! Like the Podcats?
