This week on Blocked and Reported, Jesse is joined by Norwegian journalist Espen Goffeng to discuss the remarkable story of one woman’s heroic actions after a terror attack in Oslo.

(Quick note from Jesse: If you’re interested in the April 28th Village Underground event I’m doing with David Zweig about his book An Abundance of Caution American Schools, the Virus, and a Story of Bad Decisions, please buy tickets right away. I know it’s almost a month away but I really really need to get the book preorder in because it takes forever. Tickets are just under $33 and come with a copy of the book, which lists for $40! Tickets here. Thank you.)
