Episode 174: The Crisis In India And Intellectual Property

this episode is a BIT of a bummer -- but then again it's a bummer to live in climate hell! we do our best to add levity when we can ;) 

OBVIOUSLY this is not a comprehensive list of what's going on in climate because we had one hour to cover a broad af topic. 

but, the tl;dr is ---- damn, shit is rly dark out there! but we have each other and we have ways of supporting one another and fighting back against these atrocities.
