About this episode
The host explores a personal problem through various news stories, seeking to identify and resolve the issue.
In this episode, I’ve got a problem. A problem I haven’t fully figured out the source or contours of, even as I hit record.But by walking through several news stories that either directly or tangentially connect to the issue I’m wrestling with, I start finding a path toward identifying it, breaking it down, and—hopefully—going some way towards resolving it. I’m not entirely sure whether bringing my conundrum straight to the microphone is the smartest way to work through it, haha… but I figured it might help (and it actually did help), and I’m hoping listeners can relate and find some value in the process too. I hope you enjoy the information, thoughts, and musings presented in this episode.
