Hey Pickles!

Sorry we're late!

Here’s what’s coming up in today’s show!

In our Noteworthy segment, North Carolina set up a system to field complaints about industrialized farming. We’ll let you know how it’s working, or not working.

And, in Our Main Topic, we have updates on the state of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza otherwise known as bird flu. Why isn’t our government or main stream media talking about it?
