What’s Next with the Eviction Moratorium Put to Bed; Also, Nevermind Nudity Leads to a Belated Lawsuit

The federal eviction moratorium was in place for almost a year and now has been struck down, so James Keys and Tunde Ogunlana discuss the circumstances that led to its demise and what we have and don’t have to try to mitigate the ongoing economic effects from the Covid-19 pandemic that led to the moratorium in the first place (01:21). The guys also take a look at the dispute between Spencer Elden, whose naked photographed appeared on the cover of Nirvana’s 1991 album, Nevermind, and the stakeholders who created and used the photo 30 years ago (37:40).
