Entropy (ft. Bodhi Houareau-Rose)

Have you ever wondered why your room always gets messy, no matter how much you clean it? Why you can't un-break that priceless plate you accidentally dropped? Or if there is anything we can do as individuals to prevent the inevitable heat death of the universe? In this extra long episode, Kate and Matt are joined by Bodhi to talk about entropy, life, and ethics, and how they are all more closely related than you may think. Stick around to the end for our listener question, where we find out why some people cannot stand the taste of certain foods.
