Have you ever been in public and someone was listening to a device without headphones or earbuds?  Yeah, us too!

Tune into this episode to hear the reasons why people do this in the first place and how one airline has stepped forward first to try to do something about it. Will other airlines follow?

Have you ever booked a cozy cabin on a booking site, then checked whether it has a carbon monoxide detector? We have, and we have noticed that a lot of places do not include one, and Jenn got to thinking, why!?
