Or episodes people think are bad. We"ll be tackling negative discourse head-on by discussing where these stories fall down, how they could be improved, and what"s actually pretty darn great about them, thank you very much. And along the way there"ll be news, impressions, and many, many tangents. Hosted on Acast. See
