Susie has an update on her cat situation, and Sarah is learning more than she ever wanted to know about cat cafes. We debate the cake smash tradition at weddings, and we hear why the more violent and abusive examples of this are going viral on TikTok. And we consider why men resort to this aggressive ritual even when they're humiliating or hurting the bride. We learn about a group of shark bite survivors who have formed a community to help each other with side effects both physical and emotional, and we discuss the human urge to connect. Amanda Knox wrote a piece on why we shouldn't call people "evil," and how this does a disservice to victims of violent crimes. And we learn some surprising effects your first name can have on your life.
