We're just two guys trying to create a podcast worthy of your time, sometimes that means there aren't enough hands or ears or time to go around. Apologies for how long it took to get this episode out. As a result some of what we mention may seem a little dated, but as usual we approach the content from a unique perspective. In this weeks episode we talk President Obama's Farewell Address, and then President Elect Trump's first press conference in 148 days, some unique news that is local somewhere, this week's installment to the Basket of Deplorables, and our Star-Spangled Awesome Award goes to a real David vs. Goliath story in the struggle for WUMD to stay alive and on the air!

In this week's episode we direct our attention towards the news media. The rise of distribution networks over news bureaus, internet traffic, and social media has created a breaking news bubble thats diluted our information gathering, and reporting ability. To get a better understanding of what has happened in 'the news' we turn to Llewellyn King. With over 50 years in the news media he is well acquainted with the current lay of the land, and how exactly we got here.
Llewellyn King is the host of White House Chronicle. Together with his Co-Host Linda Gasperello they are celebrating 20 years on the air this year. Llewellyn can also be found writing for The Huffington Post, Hearst Media, and on Sirus XM Satellite Radio. He is an advocate for ME/CFS awareness, and co-hosts the ME/CFS Alert channel on Youtube.
