Heard Tell

Your Heard Tell Show for Thursday, September 14th, is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by taking the politics of information, and how we are using our social media intake of news media to view the world. Jill Jacobson returns with the latest example of civil asset forfeiture, how it became abused, and what real reform would look like and take. Then, we talk through a piece by Steven Allen Adams from his Reporter's Notebook feature on covering the debate over higher education and the mess at WVU and how the outrage, or lack there off, is a telling part of the story. Plus, social psychologist and researcher Dr. Aaron Pomerantz joins Heard Tell to talk how the Barbie movie was the latest fodder for the mostly online culture wars, but the massive success of the film exposed some folks who are just plugging things into the ongoing narratives that fuel their audiences, especially conservative men and bro influencers. Also, Dr. Pomerantz talks about how to have healthier discussions about touchy cultural issues, and the psychology behind culture wars as an online and new medis model.

On this Heard Tell Good Talks our guest is Economist Alexander Salter returns to talk about economics and his new book, The Political Economy of Distributism, how we have failed to properly understand and teach basic concepts like property, liberty, common good, and other building blocks to good economic understanding, and better ways to discuss them. Dr. Salter also talks about ethics in economics, how that influences politics and policy, and why everyone from news media to social media to office holders can't seem to figure out how to talk about it.

Your Heard Tell Show for Thursday, September 14th, is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by taking how the FDA is finally admitting why all those decongestants you take aren't working for your sniffles and sneezes. Senator Mitt Romney announces he's not running for reelection by giving a message more of the elderly congress critters need to hear and adhere to. Congressional reporter Eric Garcia returns to the program to give us inside look into the return of congress, Kevin McCarthy's impeachment announcement, budget and funding battles, Mitch McConnell and the senate, political implications, Washington machinations, Romney stepping aside, and what to watch for in the headlines for what is going to be a bonkers session of congress. We end on a lazy note, as we go overseas to a contest to try and crown one country's "laziest citizen."

Your Heard Tell Show for Monday, September 11th, is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by taking perspective of Speaker Kevin McCarthy's announcement about an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, why the timing matters, what it means, and the inevitable ending this latest round of impeachment is going to wind up at. Our friend Sarah Montalbano of the Alaska Policy Forum returns to talk about how American policy on rare earth minerals is not only lagging behind geopolitical foes like China, but putting America's aspirations of a green future at risk with contradictory regulations, misunderstanding the supply chain, and overpromising a green future that is going to require tmassive amounts of extraction, mining, and processing. We take the beginning of the NFL season to bring some perspective on just how massive the economic and cultural footprint of football has on America, and how the NFL is now much more than just a sport. David McGarry returns to Heard Tell to talk about how we use the internet, how we perceive social media, and how the government is scrambling and flailing at how to regulate and control something they themselves don't seem to understand. David also talks about how our rights don't end at the keyboards and screens, how we should think about protecting our data and online presence, and how politics is always going to play a role in the rapidly changing debate over technology.

Your Heard Tell Show for Monday, September 11th, is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by talking about not just remembering September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks, but considering how to remember, and what we should do about it. Nicholas Thielman of Cato joins Heard Tell to discuss the upcoming debate over the Farm Bill, how the annual legislation plays into this year's budget and shutdown drama, breaking down the different kinds of farms and farmers, and the politics of Big Agriculture. Then, our friend and resident Heard Tell critic Luis Mendez of the Mendez Movie Report returns to talk about the busy summer box office season, talk the big winners like Oppenheimer and Barbie but also some surprising hits and misses, the effects of the writers and SAG strike as we approach awards season, and the uneven year the House of Mouse has had and what it means for not only Disney but other studios/companies still learning the theater/streaming balance. We end on a good note, with a great story of a pilot in California who decided to use mandatory flight hour requirements to rescue and help animals.

Your Heard Tell Show for Friday, September 8th, is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by walking through the latest 2024 polling on President Biden, the GOP primary field, where Donald Trump stands, and how to take a measured looked at what we call "campaign silly season" without losing wider perspective. We take some time to deep dive what's going on down south, South America that is, with the returning Gabriel Salazar Sing who uses a US Congressional delegation visit to the continent to talk through issues in Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Ecuador, and more. Plus, Gabriel explains how Spanish language media covers things a bit differently, and what to watch for in the US news media about things going on in Central and South America to watch out for from elections, to economics, to geopolitical concerns. Then, Nathalie Voit joins Heard Tell to talk about her writing on how the ongoing college admittance and affirmative action debate has brought a focus on legacy admissions, what they should be but have become, how they affect institutions and potential students, and how this fits into the larger conversation about what higher education is, has becomes, and needs to improve on. We end on a good note with the incredible story of a dog who escaped the animal shelter for the care center across the street so many times they just adopted him.

Your Heard Tell Show for Thursday, September 7th, is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by wishing Waffle House a happy birthday and some of the history you may not know about the cultural icon, including the two WW2 vets turned friend who built an empire on "good food fast." Jack Rowlett of Young Voices UK returns to the program and takes us over the pond to talk about UK politics, especially how a feeling that the country is "falling apart" has an explosive living metaphor as 150 schools and counting are not able to open due to structural issues. Is this the last straw for embattled PM Rishi Sunak, when will a general election be called, how does Labour and leader Keir Starmer stand to gain, and what to watch for in the coming months and headlines. Plus, Jack tells us the US headlines that are breaking through and having our friends over yonder talking about American politics. Then, Garion Frankel returns to Heard Tell to talk about that viral video of the school boy with the Gadsden Flag patch and the overreacting teachers, how there is more to the story, how viral videos are not only a part of the news landscape but a vital business component thereof, and why everyone needs to step back and think before using children as the centerpieces of narratives.
