Episode Description from the Publisher

What is the secret to human connection? This week, Ben and Jamesa follow that question down a rabbit hole that takes them from a laboratory full of surprisingly affectionate octopuses, to the aging back streets of Japan where a quiet army of women are saving lives one yogurt delivery at a time. They'll get into Jack Harlow's claim that he "got Blacker" and the layers of problematic whiteness that it reveals, and why we all need a daily disobedience practice. Come hang out. Support the show
