ICYMI this week ...
A weekly round-up of the Daily News podcast headlines
First off, my apologies for being a bit more lax with posting a weekly update from the Daily News podcast. I can’t say I’ve been more busy than usual because I have been much less busy than usual. But if life is a puzzle, it’s best when the pieces are in place. For me, they’re scattered all over the floor: no school, no routine, no vacation, no tumour pathology results, not too much fun, no sadness, a bucket full of boredom!
In this state, it’s hard to keep working.
But, because I only think about things to about 75% of their full thought, I decided to pass our microphone for the weekend to indy journalists to showcase their work to our listeners. I have had three features, and yesterday’s can be heard here.
If you’re an indy journalist or editor and would like to feature a story at the Daily News, please be in touch with me!
The segments will be more regular starting in the Fall when the puzzle pieces are back in place.
Till then, enjoy a round-up of the news featured on the Daily News Podcast this week:
