Host Andrew talks through the fallout of President Biden's shocking debate performance against Trump and the current state of the 2024 race. Then, we read through the actual words of the Supreme Court justices on the Trump immunity decision. We zoom out from the headlines to talk about the biggest issues that are driving the perception of chaos in our political system, and the option to stop yelling at Washington and get involved locally instead. We end on a good note, with the story of a man in Atlanta that is bringing meaningful services to those most in need.

Your Heard Tell Show is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by going beyond the headlines of what Vladimir Putin and Russia are doing in the world and examining how they help fund everything from the invasion of Ukraine, destruction in Syria, power projection elsewhere, and more. Our friend David Clement returns to Heard Tell as one member of the team of experts that put together The Blood Gold Report: How the Kremlin is using Wagner to launder billions in African gold to talk the network of front companies, mercenaries, strongman regimes, friendly governments, and exploited African peoples that funnel billions of dollars from central Africa to the coffers of the Putin dictatorship. Providing background on what and where Wagner group came from, how the world didn't learn the lessons of Russia in Syria, and the spread of Russian influence and power in Africa gives a better perspective on the event in Russia, Ukraine, and elsewhere. Plus, David explains the usefulness and limits of sanctions, and other methods that might be used to deal with the Blood Gold issue economically, as a geo-political problem, and as the humanitarian disaster Russia is causing.

Your Heard Tell Show is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by talking about how big loud news events like Donald Trump's conviction, Hunter Biden's conviction, and even the disaster that was January 6th all bring wide sweeping reactions but actually show things are holding up pretty good, despite the doomsaying and hand wringing online. The Caitlin Clark story added another twist as she was left off the US Olympic team and the talking heads and social media accounts lost their everloving minds, even though the correct basketball decision wasn't the correct business decision. Host Andrew breaks down his recent writing on "misinformation" further and addresses some of the reaction and pushback. Plus, an example of how just following partisan politics can leave you missing the big picture and really important issues. We end on a good note, with Andrew's beloved West Virginia receiving one of the most prestigious awards in all of food to a very deserving chef.

Your Heard Tell Show is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by covering the latest news from outer space, or at least what man is doing to keep going up there. Our own resident space expert Dr. Michael Siegel returns to Heard Tell to talk about NASA and Boeing's Starliner finally getting a crew off the ground, Space X's Starship going up and coming back in (mostly) one piece, and the inevitable comparisons between the two. Plus, since both missions had issues, Michael discusses from his own experience being on the team that runs a spacecraft mission what it is like to problem solve and issue in space. Plus we talk about the evolution of rockets, the realities of moon and Mars colonization, and the future of space, NASA, and mankind's eternal quest to go to the stars.
