Episode #105 - Should beauty pageants have swimsuit contests? Lauren Francesca

Debate starts at: 3:10. Should swimsuit contests be a party of beauty pageants? Model and actress Lauren Francesca (https://www.instagram.com/iwantmylauren/) joins us to debate this week, and I make a strong case for why objectification is... a good thing. It's just a sample of the brilliance you'll be exposed to by watching and listening to this show. Speaking of, we also did a pilot run of our first-ever LIVE EPISODE. We're experimenting with broadcasting live on Saturdays when we record. Stay tuned for more information.
