This week we're Choosing Our Own Adventure with author Katherine Factor who has just released a book for young readers about the world's most iconic female spy (but was she a feminist?). If you were a creative kid who lost your spark along the way, be sure to tune in for advice on how to free our minds and tap back into our imaginations (Katherine can help with that!). We also talk about an abolitionist "libertory" space in the works, Ava DuVernay's new Netflix series, a heartwarming advocate for our feline friends, and—of course—the Hotdog Hall of Fame. (Music by Ava Luna and Loyalty Freak Music.)
