Hey, what's up? This is Ramses Job. And I go by the name, Q Ward. And we'd like you to join us each week for our show Civic Cipher. That's right. We discuss social issues, especially those that affect black and brown people, but in a way that informs and empowers all people. We discuss everything from prejudice to politics to police violence, and we try to give you the tools to create positive change in your home, workplace, and social circle.

We're going to learn how to become better allies to each other.

So join us each Saturday for Civic Cipher on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or

wherever you get your podcast.

And we think your questions also deserve answers, or at least replies that make sense

and help you grapple with what we do and don't know about the topic.

So if you have a question about science or whatever,

please write to us to questions at Daniel and Kelly.org. We'd love to hear from you, and sometimes

we'll answer those questions right here on the pod. And so on today's episode, we're going to be

answering questions submitted by listeners. And more than that, and I'll admit to being a little bit nervous about this part, we're going to go back to those listeners with our answers and follow up to see if our explanation scratched their itch or not. Today, Daniel and Kelly are getting graded by the listeners. So today on Daniel and Kelly's

extraordinary universe,

we'll be answering questions from listeners,
