The One With The Toyota Fallout

There is A LOT of news going on around our country and around the world.  Protests, suicides, health concerns.  Interestingly enough, there seems to be entertainment stories that seem to have a broader reach than just US Weekly, so the entertainment section is more of a less hard hitting version of the news section.  Therefore, we decided to dedicate this podcast to topics in the news

News:
Iranian Elections & Protests
President Clinton’s Surgery
Toyota Recalls

Entertainment:
Michael Jackson’s Doctor Charged
Alexander McQueen’s Suicide
