Reid Baker returns for some back-and-forth on Evergreen College and how that controversy illuminates different approaches to equality. We also discuss Colorado's Masterpiece Cakes legal battle and how we would prepare our underground bunkers in the event of an apocalypse.

Note for chapter skippers: Our first segment runs about 20 minutes this time instead of the typical 15.

With Ben Anderson we ask what's the right way to do LGBT representation and how well did Disney manage it in their update to Beauty and the Beast? Also, how can we be more aware of living and working in accessible places for people with different abilities? Finally, following last week's Irish state visit, how much do the "little things" matter when it comes to international diplomacy?
