We meet Thanaa El-Naggar, a young Muslim woman who penned a viral essay called Practising Islam in Short Shorts. And, we hear from a fellow Muslim who responds to the essay and urges El-Naggar to stop living a 'dual life'. Also, how Mexico's 'hints of homophobia' make living there a challenge for one gay man who grew up in the US. The business sector where cheap Chinese imports are failing to have an impact. The mystery surrounding Hart Island, a cemetery where one million New Yorkers are buried in mass graves. And, the story of an American chef who set out to make a better pizza than all of Italy.
