Eyes And Ears...
Oy. Some heavy podcasts this week. This American Life covers the Republicans struggling with the split in their own party and the insanity (my word) around immigration and how facts don't matter anymore, even in journalism, which is supposed to be, you know, fact-based. Eye-opening and dispiriting. On Dear Sugar Radio, Cheryl and Steve are talking about female friendships. They tackle some heavy shit, like feeling like your friends are too busy for you, feeling left out when your friends become moms, feeling left out when your friend group hangs-out without you, breaking up with friends, and whether or not a friendship can withstand a Trump/Pence yard sign. I'll probably listen to this three more times.
