With the help of journalist and self-declared news junkie Bill Poorman, we try to understand the relentlessly depressing nature of negative news. Misinformation, corruption, natural disasters, global warming, and viral pandemics, when will it ever end? Why does everything seem to be so negative? And what if anything, can we do about it? Tune in to find out more.

Check out Bill’s podcast Foreign Influence here. No more depressing than negative news, I promise.
