Hey hey, don't let the old 'rona get you down - it's time to think about interesting things like how to approach creative pursuits (especially when the world is falling apart around you), what's new with Apple's first cheapish phone in forever, and just how intense Tara Westover's memoir, Educated, can possibly get! And lots of other waffle. We know you come for the waffle. Thanks as always to Tony Thaxton for our theme!
