Hello to the (un)washed masses!
This week we talk about…. people! Specifically, how there’s a whole lot of people. Some might say, too many people. We talk about just how many people there actually are in the world, how many people there are going to be before too long, and how that’s pretty much a big problem no matter how you look at it. There’s info on fertility rates, how a society’s population changes as it develops, and some ways we can try to preserve everyone’s personal space bubble. We’re pretty misanthropic in general, and we had a whole lot of fun with this episode.
