This week, Jamie & Kristy tackle a big issue, as a This American Life story about female genital mutilation hits oddly close to home.

(Visit the Global Alliance Against FGM, 28 Too Many and Daughters of Eve for more information, and to find out how you can help best.)

There's also talk of how best to train Jamie's new dog, and Kristy's trip to Emerald City Comic Con.

This week's episode of CM is brought to you by Park Slope Copy. Produced by the excellent Bob Teague. Music by Sprocket, who we love without reservation.
