Episode Summary


This week's show is all about Molly's visit to a school board meeting where she even made the news. Naturally it was around prurient materials in the school library. As such, we've marked this episode as explicit due to it's subject nature not necessarily the contact (can't think if of anything that comes to mind at the moment). Anyway, fun discussion that will also find thought-provoking and educating. No recipes though, sorry.
