This is the audio version of my Random News from Clown World article. Note: the audio differs fairly significantly from the written version.

Accordingly, when recording audio, I will sometimes paraphrase what I read and riff parenthetically in order (hopefully) to make it more engaging. If you’re listening to this podcast on
