Mike Baker hosts this podcast. It is broken down into three sections with commercial breaks between each of them. Baker picked a handful of news stories and presents them with an occasional sarcastic remark or poor attempt at humor.
The news that he presented in this episode focused mostly on foreign affairs. Even the story about an American college resolved around protests in favor of Palestine.
There is not a lot of depth in the story but they do a good job of quickly highlighting what is happening in the world on a given day.
Overall if there is some major event that happens I might give this a listen on a given day, but I will not be adding it to my library.
“The whole world is a series of miracles, but we're so used to them we call them ordinary things.”
Hans Christian Andersen
“Society never advances. It recedes as fast on one side as it gains on the other. It undergoes continual changes: it is barbarous, it is civilized, it is rich, it is scientific; but this change is not amelioration. For every thing that is given, something else is taken. Society acquires new arts and loses old instincts.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
