Surprise! Season 4's theme is SLA's "News In Neurodiversity." Josh and Dave sit down to introduce this season's theme.

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.
