Try the new superfood that's taking the world by storm. It's chock full of protein, calcium, amino acids, and even more buzz words. They're the good for you and for the planet. That's right it's insects! Wait... come back guys, can't we talk about this? This week on Enter the Rabbit Hole we discuss entomophagy (eating those delicious bugs) and why we aren't doing more of it. Join us as Will tries to convince Alisha to start a cricket farm and Alisha attempts to hold in her dry retches.

Alisha and Will are back to discuss a step-by-step guide for how to straight-up ruin your children. Kidding (kind of). How does language develop in the brain, and what are the consequences of holding it back? And what happens when you lock two infants away on a remote island with no method of learning how to communicate? Is it something nice!? What do you think!?
