| #577 | 15.01 | Something Only I Can See When you’re the only one who can see something, sometimes it feels like you’re in on a special secret. The hard part is getting anyone to believe your secret is real. This week, people trying to show others what they see—including a woman with muscular dystrophy who believes she has the same condition as an Olympic athlete. | 59:09 |

| #579 | 13.02 | My Damn Mind The brain! It's powerful! We have the story of how one man's delusions lead him to a situation that's just as strange as the worst thoughts his mind is cooking up.

| #583 | 25.03 | It'll Make Sense When You're Older At first, it’s super annoying, getting told it’ll make sense when you’re older. Then, when you’re a teenager, hard lessons are learned, despite your best efforts to be too cool to care. By the time you’re actually old, you know a bunch of stuff— and you’re desperate to hold onto it. You might even wonder HOW you know all the things you know. Hosted by Chana Joffe-Walt and featuring SNL’s Sasheer Zamata. | 57:36 |
| #584 | 11.04 | For Your Reconsideration The older and wiser we get, the more bewildering our past decisions can seem.

| #585 | 22.04 | In Defense of Ignorance Exactly how incompetent you are. What your ex’s best friend really thinks of you. The approximate time that you will die.

| #586 | 06.05 | Who Do We Think We Are? It’s nice to belong, to feel connected to others.

Including a story by Mariya Karimjee, pictured. Guest host Sean Cole sits in for Ira. | 58:14 |
| #587 | 27.05 | The Perils of Intimacy Stories about mysteries that exist in relationships we thought couldn't possibly surprise us, and the strangeness of putting our wants on the line with someone who may not share them at all-- and how much we're willing to risk for someone we may never see again. | 63:38 |

With one-third of Americans classified as overweight, and another third as obese, and almost none of us losing weight and keeping it off, maybe it’s time to rethink the way we see being fat. A show inspired by Lindy West’s book Shrill | 70:32 |
| #590 | 24.06 | Choosing Wrong Stories of people making the wrong choice, even though the right one is staring them squarely in the eye.

| #592 | 01.08 | Are We There Yet? A bunch of us from our show went to refugee camps all over Greece. We found people falling in love, kids mad at their parents for dragging them to Europe, women doing their laundry in a baseball stadium locker room, and hundreds of people living at a gas station—sitting next to the pumps, smoking. Also: wild pigs. 57,000 refugees are stuck in Greece, making homes in some surprising locations. We hear what that’s really like | 64:44 |
| #593 | 05.08 | Don’t Have to Live Like a Refugee We return to Greece with stories of people trying to move on with their lives in whatever way they can. We meet a couple who fell in love even though they weren't expecting anything like that to happen, and even though her family didn't approve.

| #567 | 02.09 | What’s Going On In There Often we see someone’s situation from the outside and think we know exactly what’s going on.

Here are the videos by Bianca Giaever mentioned in the episode. | 60:56 |

Nikole Hannah-Jones looks at a district that, not long ago, accidentally launched a desegregation program. | 61:32 |

But before he can cash in his golden ticket, the police start raiding his neighborhood, targeting refugees. | 64:18 |
| #598 | 07.10 | My Undesirable Talent San Francisco’s Spider-Man burglar was remarkable. He dropped into buildings from skylights, leapt 10 feet from one roof to another. But mostly, his talent got him into trouble. This week, his story, and stories of other undesirable talents. | 61:47 |
