Rambling mess

Shoddy stand in for Wash post & NYT daily digest. Lacks focus and content is often irrelevant.

Middling substitute for the WaPost Digest

Audible recently (1/1/2022) dropped the WaPost and NYT digests from their catalog. I’ll be transitioning full time to NPR / NPROne app and BBC radio for my listening to news. A real shame as the Two Digests were really well done. Despite some overlap it was good to get different viewpoints from WP and NYT. Ok on production but not nearly the breadth of topics that we once enjoyed.

4th Indictment

Very well explained. I don’t think there are many who understand the difference between socialism an fascism…language becomes an inevitable barrier based on personal experience.
