On this edition of Heard Tell: Twice on Sunday

We are previewing the 2024 US Senate election cycle with Elections-Daily.com's Eric Cunningham. From the hot mess that is Arizona, changing electorates in Ohio and Michigan, party primary infighting in Montana, Indiana, and California, another round of What Would Joe Manchin Do, and why 2024 will be unlike any election we've ever seen before.

Our guest is Brooke Medina, VP of Communications for John Locke Foundation, joins for a discussion about the currently headlines of Marie Kondo changing her neat and tidy ways, and how we should be discussing how we present the "ideal" on everything from reality TV to our own social media, the search for authenticity, better ways to use our social media, and focusing on the important things in life both online and off.

Our guest is economist Jack Salmon who talks through the changing politics and policy proposals - or lack there of - of Social Security these days, comps to UK's ingrained NHS, the numbers and terminology to watch out for in news media, and some ideas that might actually make things better. Then,

Our guest is Ashley Baker of the Committee For Justice who joins us to talk the SCOTUS leaker of the Dobbs decision and the non-finding in that investigation, Supreme Court news and headlines, and the importance of reading source documents and following the court for yourself and not just talking a talking head's word for it.

Our guest is host of The Sweaty Penguine and Heard Tell regular Ethan Brown to explain why those viral vids of Extinction Rebellion and other protests groups have turned people against both them and their cause to the point even the extremists are starting to pull back on public spectacles, why hassling the regular folks is always going to backfire, and far better ways to discuss climate and environmental issues without the extremism.

Your Heard Tell for Friday, February 3rd, 2022, is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by talking through examples of a trend in headline writing that is made for engagement of all the wrong kinds. Our guest is economist Jack Salmon who talks through the changing politics and policy proposals - or lack there of - of Social Security these days, comps to UK's ingrained NHS, the numbers and terminology to watch out for in news media, and some ideas that might actually make things better. Then, our guest is Brooke Medina, VP of Communications for John Locke Foundation, joins for a discussion about the currently headlines of Marie Kondo changing her neat and tidy ways, and how we should be discussing how we present the "ideal" on everything from reality TV to our own social media, the search for authenticity, better ways to use our social media, and focusing on the important things in life both online and off. Also, a story of "woke" not only having gone too far but backfiring into becoming a success story for the woman targeted by social media assumptions.
