What happens when generosity meets the internet? This week, Emily and Jason talk about GoFundMe campaigns, cheerful giving, and the awkward tension of watching someone you donated to book a beach vacation. They unpack the heart behind giving, the expectations we attach to it, and why it’s harder than we think to truly let go. Also: the end of the world, and the presidential announcement that aliens are real. Music Bed Licenses MB01DWKDR4I03W0 MB01UEBR9CKWXDV Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
