I Really, REALLY LIKE getting this text article about what you talked about on your podcast.

I really like it.

We know you cannot do the ... bullet point paragraphs for the nightly bulletin on your podcast day. It's too much for anyone to do that.

But this written summary gives those of us who prefer text or a podcast something new to read. It is perfect.

Thank you.

Personally, I don't like podcasts or tapes and much prefer to read about my political interests on my computer. If I'm on a long road trip, then yes, it's good to listen to a lengthy podcast or someone reading a book that interests me; it helps the time go by. But otherwise, I would always appreciate the type of summary you provide in this piece on Substack to just sitting in a chair or couch listening to a recorded conversation. Perhaps most podcast-oriented people would probably disagree, but each to his/her own.

I like my news in text. I dislike YouTube videos. However, at night when I go to bed, I love listening to podcasts. I put the blue tooth speaker under my pillow and create a playlist on Apple podcast. I fall asleep listing to podcasts most nights.

For my straight up news I prefer text, but for news anaysis I do like podcasts. Mainly I listen to lawyers podcasts.

Lawyers' podcasts? That would put me out in about a minute.
