Surprise! Season 4's theme is SLA's "News In Neurodiversity." Josh and Dave sit down to introduce this season's theme. The guys have a real life heart to heart beginning with an honest conversation about the closing of the Thomas Valva story (check this out for context). The conversation shifts to an international scope with a look at the divergent landscape around the world. Dave even brings out a top 10 list. Let us know what you think of this season's theme and, please, join the conversation.
