Traveling Fouls with Lauren Wolfe

With Erol out this week, Mike is joined by consumer advocate, world traveler, and former staffer to the German parliament Lauren Wolfe of the nonprofit Travelers United. Mike and Lauren take a rhetorical walk through mask mandates on their last legs, the invading Russian forces trying to find their footing in Ukraine, and China stumbling hard as it tries to get a leg up on the ongoing Covid outbreak. For our main story, Lauren takes us through some news she has been making recently: a lawsuit Travelers United is bringing to make the internet and travel destinations safer for consumers.
