ICYMI this week ...
Daily news round up
I took a week off from the Daily News Podcast and oh boy was it good to be back! I’ve been relying on my daily news gathering to keep me informed as much as many of you have told me you have too. Thanks for listening and encouraging me to continue. I’ll be on the road again in a week but this time, I think I’ll be able to maintain the show.
This week, there was a lot of news. There’s always a lot of news. But I’m struck by how little I’ve heard about some of these stories, especially the international ones.
You can catch episodes of the Daily News from this past week here.
