Have you seen Severance? This season (#2) has been phenomenal! But Episode 7 … whew. Lots to gnaw on. This episode is a bonus and not associated with the current season of Bless Yer. I just had so many thoughts about Lumon and America.

Listener favorite, LaDawn, joins me again to talk about the East African chapter. In 1995, one year after the genocide, my husband and I would fly halfway around the world to live in Rwanda. In 1996, LaDawn took her first trip out of the US to visit us, see the gorillas, and meet our Rwandan friends and Rosamond Carr. (NOTE: As this episode covers Rwanda’s history and includes descriptions of violence.)
