This week I go it alone, because Eri was preoccupied and I know that I had a bunch of different things going on over the weekend. I already had these show notes plotted out prior to recording, so I knew it was something I could handle solo. I believe the last time we had a “talking points” show I did it by myself as well. Either way, there were several stories in the news recently that I wanted to talk about, along with some personal observations over social media and the blogosphere that I wanted to mention. Note that I wasn’t trying to single anyone out with my observations, there were more generalized things that I felt the need to mention. It’s also shorter than our shows have been for a while, so that should be good for your attention span. That’s really all there is to it! Enjoy the show!
