In today's episode, Tabby and Holly discuss Akashinga "The Brave Ones"; Africa's first armed, all woman, all plant-based, anti-poaching unit. It is estimated that by 2024, all elephants will be extinct in the wild- in large part due to poaching. In 2013 alone, approximately 35,000 elephants were poached across Africa. Akashinga currently protects a very small portion of the continent, but the ground that they protect has experienced a tremendous decline in poaching and an uptick in wildlife populations across the board in a very short time. Tune in to today's episode to learn how Akashinga is revolutionizing conservation efforts.  **support Akashinga today with a one-time or monthly donation**@ www.iapf.org

In this episode, Holly mentions a podcast that recently covered all the diabolical details of the infamous "Stanford Prison Experiment." In our episode, Holly calls this podcast "You Don't Know." After editing, it was discovered that this is definitely NOT the name of the podcast. WE ARE SO FRIGGIN' SORRY FOR THIS.

The correct name of the podcast is "You're Wrong About."
