We had a surprisingly involved conversation on spoons and their ilk before our recording this week. Please enjoy until we release Episode 7 next week.

With Ben Anderson we ask what's the right way to do LGBT representation and how well did Disney manage it in their update to Beauty and the Beast? Also, how can we be more aware of living and working in accessible places for people with different abilities? Finally, following last week's Irish state visit, how much do the "little things" matter when it comes to international diplomacy?

With Jim Kingman, Amy and Kari ask: How should the US support trade school education? How exactly does constitutional originalism work? And how can Trump's VOICE proposal help us think about crime statistics and reporting overall?

If you're still trying to make the case that the federal government should support the arts, try using the argument that persuaded Reid. (No, sadly it has nothing to do with Amy's ideas.)
Reid Baker guests as we discuss Calexit and wonder if secession is ever a reasonable proposal. Amy asks why conversations about privilege annoy certain people and how can we communicate more productively? Last, can we defend Trump's so far frequent use of Mar-a-Lago as president?
