This week on Freed Up, Robby Soave and Christian Britschgi regrettably cover California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s surprising economic instincts and the latest moral panics over data centers, kids on social media, video games, and online harm. Then Robby talks about his scooter accident.
Later, they remember Dolly Parton as one of the rare American heroes almost everyone liked, and they celebrate the great Tim Curry by talking about his unforgettable movies.
