Shameless

Hello listener friends!

Coming up on today's show: How did the media do in handling the tragic suicide of Kate Spade? The coverage was pretty deplorable if you ask us. Plus, does Miss America dumping the swimsuit section from their competitions mean pageants are feminist? AND we really need to deep dive into the strange underground world of female fitness influencers injecting themselves with steroids.

If you would like to skip our segment on Kate Spade and suicide, please pick back up at 35m 15s. Help is always available at Lifeline on 13 11 14.
