Hey Podcast, the FSM President, David W. Panuelo has been leading our country for over 100 days now. How is he doing? From the perspective of information, I think he's doing great. Without timely and accurate information, we have no sense of what our President is doing. So far, so good. We hope to see more information and transparency from the Office of the President in the years to come.

Hey Podcast, we had some really sad news from our state of Yap this week. The acting Attorney General Rachelle Bergeron was killed by an unknown assailant. We offer our deepest condolences to her family. We also talk a look at "The Edge of Paradise" by P.F. Kluge again. Yes, it is my favorite book about the early days of our nation, and the period before that when we were all the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands.
