About
This episode of West of Knowhere covers a fast-paced news roundup and culture chat: new movies and shows, former child actors, Pete Hegseth’s proposed testosterone screenings for troops, Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, election-fraud documents, and the death of the last polio patient in an iron lung.
Hosts also react to viral oddities — a freaky raccoon in Seattle and a bison knocking down an elderly man — plus a lawsuit about babies switched at birth and an "Am I the Asshole" story about a chaotic nanny.
