Media literacy and the echo chamber: Will Porter talks about the news-Episode 67

How to avoid the information vacuum and keep your wits.

Journalist Will Porter joins me today to discuss wending our way through the mess that is news.  Where once news was only from one source, for good or bad, now there are dozens, maybe hundreds, of sources, but is that to our benefit or not?

Will and I look at some ways to keep your head out of the muck and still stay informed.  That’s harder to do now than it used to be but manageable.

Fruitcakes from then to now: the gift that keeps being given Episode 66

You’re not going crazy, I did say fruitcake

Fruitcakes have a much maligned history. There is the joke that there is but one fruitcake passed around every year.

Despite the poor sentiments, a well made fruitcake is rich in flavor and tradition and culture.

Ken Albala discusses some of that history as well as more food history on today’s episode.
