Show Notes
David's top stories: Luigi the Musical; and When the mayor of New York asked for photos of NYPD cops staring at their phones – the public delivered. Woodchopper Nicole Coenen chats about how she got started axing wood. (Check out Nicole's book Axe in Hand: A Woodchopper's Guide to Blades, Wood, and Fire.) Conservation scientist Lisa Wilkinson shares how she descends into the darkness of Alberta's largest bat cave to track a deadly bat fungus. Leyla Isik explains that AI is really bad at "reading the room". Toronto-based comedian Natalie Norman talks about being hit on after shows and at the thrift store. Therapeutic clown Mackenzie Muldoon of Red Nose Comedy tells us about her job. Psychology professor Dr. Martin Sellbom discusses how some people with psychopathic traits stay out of trouble, and why. Social psychologist Andrew Hales explains that narcissistic men enjoy being gossiped about – even when it's negative.
