Ok, maybe like 20% jealous, 80% happy. Alright, 50/50. We bring in a new segment, which may just be a conflation of two older bits, called Newscussion. You’re smart, you’ll figure out what that is about. We have a bl...

We take some time to answer a listener question which was sent in by one of our lovely listeners and fellow podcast aficionados, but I guess you are just going to...
