This week we're talking to the team behind the creation of a new card game about cranial nerves and the boney openings that love them, Foramina! Mikaela Stiver and Zach London stop by to tell us what inspired the game and how they went about creating it. In the news, we're talking about doppelganger DNA & a spiderweb of misinformation.
