Episode Synopsis

Spring has returned, and so has the dangerous time-honored tradition of burning old grass (kūla). Otto and Joe remind people of why this is not only dangerous but illegal, and discuss major stories from the previous week such as an emergency in Latvia's spruce forests, a statue vandalized in Bauska, controversy over public media reorganization, a possible higher age limit on smoking, and much more!
