The Swirl Podcast, Episode 67: Forts and the Thrusts of Hugh Jassol

Are algorithms ruining your chances at true happiness? Plus, a fitbit for your junk, the Netflix documentary flavor of the week, and we debate if hating kids makes you a real grinch. All that, plus the usual nonsense.

Don’t forget to talkback to us on Twitter and Facebook.

We are available on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Google Play and TuneIn.
