Not Getting the Answers, feat. Emily Alvarenga (34)

Journalist and friend of the show Emily Alvarenga arrives on Mars to talk about how it is to work as a reporter in the age of Covid-19, while also covering wildfires in Southern California, the state of the journalism industry and the lengths reporters need to go in covering breaking news story after story, and confronting misinformation about the pandemic on social media. 

As mentioned at the start of the show, you can now rep our show's beautiful artwork "Happy Mars" on whatever merch you like from RedBubble. Zach set this up and in doing so, you know have the chance to support the artist behind this show. Though this link takes you to the acrylic block, there's plenty more items available at: https://www.redbubble.com/i/acrylic-block/Happy-Mars-by-ZacharyErberich/58089078.P5BX3
