    When it comes to the bird flu, you are probably panicking about the wrong things! Understand the bird flu’s impact on wild birds, chickens, cows, cats, your grocery bill and whether or not your health is at risk.

    Dr. Seema Lakdawala, a molecular virologist from Emory University, is here to calm your fears with the latest bird flu news and help you better understand how the virus will impact you. She breaks down everything you need to know — what the H5N1 virus is and how it spreads, if the bird flu will become a pandemic, the difference between avian influenza and the seasonal flu, the bird flu symptoms in humans, how bird flu is affecting chickens, ducks and cows, how infections in wild birds are causing the spread of the virus and how you can best protect yourself from infection. Understand the impact vaccines will have against the virus and why we need to offer the vaccine to our poultry farmers and veterinarians, how your cat could be at risk for the bird flu virus and why infected chickens are causing high egg prices and egg shortages.

  • Chelsea Handler on How to Make Drastic Changes, Accept Your Mistakes, and What Turning 50 Means to Her!
    Feb 25 2025

    Chelsea Handler (comedian, television host, bestselling author) opens up about her transformative journey, from her powerful lessons on sisterhood learned from a tense meeting with Jane Fonda to the moment she realized her tough exterior was holding her back. Mayim breaks down her latest book, “I’ll Have What She’s Having” and Chelsea’s dating history, including her break-up with Jo Koy. Chelsea reveals how confronting deep-rooted anger fueled by childhood grief led her to therapy and spirituality, giving her the strength to evolve and embrace new forms of healing. Plus, she shares how turning 50 has reshaped her perspective on life, relationships, and finding freedom in saying "no"—a life-changing shift that’s led her to enjoy the freedom of not having kids while still embracing the joys of being a "stepmom" to many.

Engaging and fun

I've been a big fan of Mayim's entertainment career and was also interested that she swerved off the road into academia and then came back again. What I love about the podcast is how open and accepting of different views it is and how meaningful subjects are discussed with respect and good humour. Being Australian, I love to hear and learn about all things USA to boot. It is a thoroughly enjoyable listen.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
