This past year the country mourned together for the loss of Sen. John McCain. The country lost a war hero, a statesman, and a patriot who lived his life in service to his country. McCain, died at the age of 81 after a yearlong battle with brain cancer. Ginger Gibson, political reporter for Reuters, joins us to talk about John McCain’s love of country, his political legacy, and how the Republican party changes now that he has passed. Next, it is a punctuation that might be getting overused in recent times and it is also causing a lot of anxiety. It is the exclamation point. People are using it too much in texts and emails and it making people feel weird. On the other hand, when people don’t use one, it makes you feel like they might be mad at you. Katy Bindley, personal tech reporter for the WSJ, joins us to talk about why the exclamation point is making people freak out. Finally, let’s check in on the video game phenomenon of Fortnite. The game has grown so much it is inspiring lawsuits over dance moves in the game and people are also making money off of the game in ways you wouldn’t expect. Parents are enlisting video game tutors for their children. They are hiring coaches so their kids don’t fall behind and paying upwards of $20/hr. Sarah Needleman, tech reporter for the WSJ, joins us for this new trend of Fortnite tutors.
