Heard Tell for Friday, April 1st, 2022, is turning down the noise and getting to the information we need on the decline of college & university enrollments, and how academia might be taking the wrong lessons from the decline and the post-COVID era where student's views and educational priorities have changed. We review a great theory/analogy that helps explain how news media/social media works and why some things go "viral" even when they maybe shouldn't. Guest Roy Mathews of Young Voices joins to talk nuclear energy, the environment, and how technology has changed greatly when it comes to nuclear power but pre-conceptions and fears over nuclear power have not. Roy also talks about the history of nuclear power, what the future could be, and how current events are driving even some of nuclear's staunches critics into giving it a second look. Also, we update the Madison Cawthorn story as both US Senators from North Carolina comment on him and America's oldest active Park Ranger retires at the age of 100. All that and more on this Friday edition of Heard Tell
