We have both been asked how we compile our sources each week for SR. Today's podcast will dive into:

• How to conveniently set up a workflow for your news


• The importance of communities in finding news, as well as helping you understand it.


• The importance in recognizing biases from your sources (and yourself!)


• Why you should be getting news from a lot of people


• Why you should probably follow people you don't agree with
