On this Heard Tell Good Talks, our guest is Denver Post columnist Krista Kafer, who joins us to explain her writing "There is nothing wrong with virtue signaling" while making a wider point that everyone does it, but there is a difference between someone with a yard sign or social media post that is mostly harmless, and government and elected officials using virtue signaling to conduct public policy. Krista also talks the overall state of the political discourse, how social media is affecting folks as they discuss hot button issues, and brings some perspective from having been on both sides of policy making.

Your Heard Tell Show for Wednesday, September the 21th, 2022 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern the times we live by hashing out virtue signaling, primaries and politics in New England, social media use, and more.

Our guest is Denver Post columnist Krista Kafer, who joins us to explain her writing "There is nothing wrong with virtue signaling" while making a wider point that everyone does it, but there is a difference between someone with a yard sign or social media post that is mostly harmless, and government and elected officials using virtue signaling to conduct public policy.

Then, our guest is journalist Adam Bass of the North Star Reporter and Cod Cabin Podcast. to talk the recent primaries and politics of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. Adam brings some local perspective to how even in states and elections that are solidly blue, there are lessons to learn, nuances that shouldn't be missed, and how while staying firmly in control of one party both the electorate and the candidates being elected are changing in meaningful ways.

All that and more on this Wednesday edition of Heard Tell.

On this Heard Tell Good Talks, our guest today is Aadi Golchha of Young Voices and host of The Economics Review podcast. Aadi and host Andrew talk big picture problems, cultural battles, and policy failures surrounding immigration in America. Aadi talks us through the different layers of mess immigration has become from the visa system, to green cards, citizenship process, and the outdated standards and caps put upon legal immigration. Aadi also talks about astonding data about the economic effect of immigration, and the startling bureaucratic failure that has created a backlog that is measured in decades to fix.

Your Heard Tell Show for Tuesday, September the 20th, 2022 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern the times we live by having some grown folk talk and wider perspective on immigration, remembering a friend we have lost, another hurricane in Puerto Rico, and more

Our guest today is Aadi Golchha of Young Voices and host of The Economics Review podcast. Aadi and host Andrew talk big picture problems, cultural battles, and policy failures surrounding immigration in America. Aadi talks us through the different layers of mess immigration has become from the visa system, to green cards, citizenship process, and the outdated standards and caps put upon legal immigration. Aadi also talks about astonding data about the economic effect of immigration, and the startling bureaucratic failure that has created a backlog that is measured in decades to fix.

Also, we remember our friend Patrick Anders by talking about how the saying "Twitter ain't real life" doesn't apply when you use social media to make real life friends, and how Patrick affected so many lives that the tributes mostly start with "I never met him in real life, but..." So, host Andrew talks about our friend in real life, and the lesson we should take from how he lived his.

Plus, five years after Hurricane Maria wrecked havoc on Puerto Rico the island is again recovering from a storm, we cover what did - and didn't - change in the interval time and how old problems still are revealed by crisis while the folks down there suffer.

All that and more on this Tuesday edition of Heard Tell.

On this Heard Tell Podcast Amanda Griffiths returns for a deep dive into Communism that goes past the use of the term as an internet buzzword to where the ideology comes from, where it claims to want to take "the people", and why its adherents never are able to get it where they claim they want to go without authoritarian takeovers. Amanda and host Andrew Donaldson walk through the history of communism from ancient times, who the real Karl Marx was and believed, through Lenin and Stalin, to the regimes of today. Amanda and Andrew also talk about why authoritarianism always seems to be the inevitable and logical conclusion to the communist philosophy, how human nature plays into the ideology, and discusses the "real communism has never been tried" trope. Plus, Amanda with some personal takes both from her own life and being in an academic setting on how we teach, or don't teach, communism, how using the term online for everything you don't like sanatizes the very real human cost, and why American and others who advocate for communism have a blind spot to the historical record of it.
