Letting your child play with educational apps while you finish chores seems like a win-win. But what if those ‘fun’ & ‘entertaining’ games were secretly collecting your private information? That's the unsettling truth behind BabyBus, a popular Chinese app developer among kids, as a recent data privacy report highlighted. BabyBus apps have been labelled as among the most "data hungry" in the world. So, how did they skip the ban list after TikTok? And what exactly is at stake when it comes to data collection, especially by foreign companies? Dia Rekhi in conversation with Glenn S. Gerstell - Former General Counsel of the National Security Agency, and Kanishk Gaur, Cyber Security Expert and Founder - India Future Foundation in the latest episode of The Morning Brief podcast. Tune in!

Have you heard of Float Therapy?  Bree gives us her full rundown of her float therapy experience, and whether she thinks its worth it or not.  Liz talks to us about prepping for her weekend getaway to Big Bear.

We then get into the housewives news this week, starting with the OC cast shakeup, and Heather's return.  Then we dive deep into the Hustler & the Housewife documentary.  Do we think Erika is in the know of Tom's scandals? Why were both election parties such snooze fests?

Fresh off the first episode of the Kardashian reunion Bree & Liz give their thoughts, and breakdown whether we think Kris Jenner & Caitlyn were doomed for divorce.

Finally, we dive into hot topics like kids screen time use, and if we're going to start Handmaid's Tale.
