533: Fat Suits, Google Maps Bereavement, & Bird Paramedics

Today we learn about Hollywoods uncomfortable history with the fat suit. We discuss whether this trend is changing, and why it was such a common plot device. We hear why people are searching Google Maps for pics of their loved ones. We find out about a rural Chinese town catering to the Instagram community, and why we're of two minds about it. We learn why African villagers get excited about wrong numbers, and make new friends from telephone misdials. We debate about whether elephants like to paint and we hear why some people search the streets of NYC looking for wounded birds.
