Great idea for helping me celebrate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. Reading original documents with only basic explanations and no spin. I also enjoy the occasional laid back conversational news episodes by a couple of typical American parents who also happen to be media pros who demonstrate how to balance work life and also discuss news with a sense of humor and calmness (not rage!) and without going off the deep end as so many do (in both directions).
Even if it’s just one day a week (for now hopefully) it’s so great to have MK and Vic helping me laugh and learn a little during my workouts!
So glad y’all are back!
Fun and flowing takes on DC, politics, and other hot topics.
