Hey Pickles, 

We hope you're well.

This week, we wanted to do an episode on the lighter side. We think we all could use a break from the avalanche of bad news that is the world we're living in right now.

We have a very special guest on the show this week, and in our Main Topic, we play a fun summertime themed game of Would You Rather.

In this week's Why Files, we talk about an interesting anti rhino poaching campaign in South Africa.

Here's a link to the article: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/south-africa-uses-radioactive-horns-to-fight-rhino-poaching_n_688bca23e4b0f5c3b7c9ca3d

Our Noteworthy Segment is a shout out to a wonderful advocacy project, Cool Kids Snack Cakes. Started by the founders of Raven Corps, a vegan youth advocacy organization, Cool Kids uses vegan snack cakes to raise money for various social justice causes. They currently have a campaign to raise money for Plant The Land Gaza, a vegan food justice and community projects volunteer team based in Gaza.

Our Assignment Restaurant SOS this week goes out to Dallas TX vegan spot, Vegan Food House. We take a deep dive into their menu!

Thanks so much for listening!

Much love, Sam & Christine
