Also this hour: So, turns out, it's over. The world has ended. We're done. It happened sometime before February 2020 when we spoke with Timothy Morton of Rice University about his three-part BBC series, The End of the World Has Already Happened. We revisit our conversation with Morton about what that tongue-in-cheek title is really getting at when it comes to climate change.

Then, with the release of Space Jam: A New Legacy, we discuss how product endorsements and marketing deals have affected what’s on the silver screen in our monthly film segment, The Bigger Picture.

And we revisit an in-studio performance by Austin-based singer-songwriter Bob Schneider for the series Skyline Sessions.
