WBEZ brings you fact-based news and information. Sign up for our newsletters to stay up to date on the stories that matter.

Greta’s back in the host seat this week, joined by the host of Galaxy Brains Dave Schilling and WBEZ politics reporter Mariah Woelfel. They discuss the YOLO economy, Bill and Melinda Gates’ divorce, and say goodbye to all hope for an end to the pandemic.

Then, Megan Ganz and Charlotte Nicdao stop by to tell us all about their Apple TV+ show Mythic Quest, a workplace comedy about a company that makes a massive multiplayer online RPG. (Think Fortnite!)
