ICYMI this week ...
A weekly round up of stories featured on the Daily News podcast
There was a surprising lack of national news featured on this week’s Daily News podcast. I do try to find national stories but this is what happens when all people care about is Trudeau’s vacation and parliament isn’t sitting. But the international news is full and worrisome.
