Episode 15 - We get into McDonald's again and the infamous hot coffee lawsuit that was filed against them. This case made such headlines that a documentary was made about it, with corporations often using it as an example of a “frivolous” lawsuit. In this episode, your hosts Becky, Kate, and Karen dive into the dangers of the media and public opinion, reminding listeners that things are not always as they seem. Just because there is a popular opinion about something does not mean that it is true – particularly in light of the serious injuries sustained by the then 79-year-old Stella Liebeck following the hot coffee incident. We also talk about our irrational fears and anxieties about space, our experiences with spacey movies, and why we totally get that some people need professional help to deal with their astrophobia. Joining in on our conversation, you will also hear about Kate’s canvassing journey and how it has become a means of expressing and acting on her political values. https://link.chtbl.com/NoOneToldUs
