Episode 279 - Fighting For The Ganges & Curing Phobias With VR

3:24 The White House plans to release a framework for the immigration laws they’d like to see, with the aim that it would actually pass through Congress. 8:11 VICE News profiles Trump's point man on trade, Robert Lighthizer, and provides an update on the talks. 13:49 Millions of Hindus will be swimming in the Ganges this week for the annual Magh Mela festival, just as they have for years. But it’s not a pleasant swim: the Ganges is one of the world’s most polluted rivers. 21:07 Limbix is a company that produces virtual reality software for therapists. Its aim is to cure phobias and addictions by creating immersive experiences designed to expose patients to safe-space situations that normally cause anxiety. VICE News’ Dexter Thomas tests the software using his own phobia experience to see if and how it works.
