Ep 4 | March 2023 Current Events

Today we dive into the first of our monthly current event episodes.  This is where we scour the internet and other important news sources for interesting and relevant headlines.  One might argue that not everything we cover is newsworthy but we believe there is relevance in the tiny corners of modern culture because it shapes what we see in the news. Do you have more to say on these topics?
