This week, Alex, Kate, and Swara skip the news, skip the jokes, and get serious.

It's a tough question and one we've been grappling with and today, we talk about it. 

How do you keep talking about pop culture when the world is on fire? When everything so terrible that it's hard to keep going? We try to give you our answers.
