Listen to this week’s episode.
It’s another video recap week, y’all. Sorry about all the coughing in advance.

I’m writing this pretty early in the morning; the majority of last evening was spent doing last-minute wedding organization.
It’s the kind of thing that drives home what’s important – the bit of news that’s hyper local. In our case, it’s the fact that Kerry and I are getting married at the end of the week.

For a man whose name sounds a bit like an instant soup, Linton Weeks is an excellent writer of the break up story.
First, there was a story on Feb. 13 about the brand new ways to break up with your lover by using technology. All the usual suspects are there – short and not-so-sweet Twitter [...]
I knew this particular bit of bad news was coming; Scripps has been trying and failing to sell the ailing Rocky Mountain News since December. Scripps has been suffering huge losses at the paper.

Sad News Day Two: If the BPP can’t make it, how can the rest of us?
Good morning, everybody.
So yesterday, the Bryant Park Project got canceled. I’m sure you heard about that. If you’re just joining us and are wanting to hurl a few pebbles at the NPR Goliath, go here.
Yesterday morning, I heard that BPP was canceled via their Twitter feed and fired off a rather spiteful post after [...]
