The  New News on the podcast is that we have a new segment- Nabu's Journal and it has been created on the basis that there are so many things that happen to us and around us; and some, if not most times,  we do not get to talk about or reflect on them. We end up carrying them into the new week and only get to cleanse on Wednesdays when a fresh episode is upon us. 

The Journals will come in weeks and this forms week 1.
