Hey Patrons. Those of you who live in the United States have doubtless been hearing a lot about Flint, and might be a little confused as to what exactly happened, what accusations have been made, and what's being done about it. In this episode, we hope to shed some light on that.

We are joined this week by Kinaya Mishelle Bryant, a new friend and all-around badass that I'm excited to welcome to the show. This is her first time podcasting, and I think there was a little issue with her mic making ambient noise so please bear with us on that. I hope that she can continue to join us .

Below I have listed all of the links that we used to prepare for this episode, as well as a link to the petitions I described. I hope that you guys will sign and share and get others involved. Only the people being outraged will bring any changes to Flint.

Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
