Kratom is apparently the most popular item at the headshop across the street and we think it's because Kratom is addictive, and are worried about the more powerful derivatives making their way into the market. So we're going to tell you about them.

Hi Everyone,
Here is a side episode on United HealthCare. It was recorded on Sunday December 8th, before Luigi was officially apprehended, but aside from the jokes (namely, Radbill jokingly framing $Mic for murder), this episode focuses largely on navigating Healthcare in the US and what companies like UHC do to shirk their commitment to making claim payouts. We hope you like it.
Spectrum Woes, this one is for you

Here's another one on Mckinsey & Co! $Mic is taking a breather, but we hope the material here makes for good listening anyways! Insurance is way worse now and this goes a good distance to explain why.
