How long does it take a brain to rot? Whose world are we in now? That city is called Salad, right? All of these questions answered and more in this week's episode of Reel High with Zack Hightower, featuring guest host Lizzie Lockard. Available everywhere you get podcasts... At least I hope so. I don't know where else it could go except for NPR and that's not going to happen. They're not going to shove me in-between a story about underfunded homeless shelters and a pledge drive. That would just be ridiculous.
