As we continue to tread through this pandemic, we decide to take a small break from the Coronavirus and present to you all a more lighthearted episode. This month we pay honor to all the mother's out there the Pop Culture and Penicillin Way. Get ready to load up on random facts about mothers and a special SPOILER ALERT discussion on the hit HBO series, "Insecure".

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to take up most of the popular consciousness, the majority of us are stuck at home in quarantine. We thought we could take this opportunity to build on our last episode, where we talked about COVID-19 and expand that conversation and update all listeners on some stats and news during this important time.

Coronavirus has had such wide-ranging effects on entertainment, travel, politics, finance, and even the environment that we felt it to be a topic that we definitely have to discuss. So, in today’s episode, that is just what we do! We kick things off as always though with a quick catch up, hearing about our hosts recent travels involving giant redwoods, jail cells, and Trinidad and
Tobago Carnival season.

Celebrities have accrued huge audiences which makes their ability to perpetuate misinformation incredibly large, but how much can we really expect from them? In this episode, Drs. Warren and LJ get into some recent events that bring up pertinent questions around the intersection between pop culture and body positivity, physical health, and mental wellbeing.
