879: Hairy Babies, Leaded Gas, & Air Travel Consultant

Sarah's fear of mysterious wetness might be solved thanks to a researcher who set out to determine what the heck is in those puddles on the subway. We learn about a case of mistaken labeling on medicine that made babies grow hair all over their bodies, and a bunch of other medical mishaps that sparked reform. Susie reveals how she unknowingly became friends with a murderer in real life, and how he was eventually caught. We find out why everyone born before 1996 is at a much higher risk for mental illness, dementia, and lower IQ due to exposure to an every day substance. Susie wants to become an air travel consultant so we can all have better flying experiences and we can avoid a revolt. Sarah shares how Disney is making people with physical disabilities stand in line while developmental disabilities still qualify for special accommodations. And we discuss the documentary about the kiss that changed soccer, and why we didn't realize how much more there was to the story behind the headline.
