- Trump Indictment, Women's NCAA Controversy, Appalachian Policy Summit, & Where Has Heard Tell Been?
Your Heard Tell for Tuesday, April 4th, 2022, is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by discussing the wall-to-wall coverage of Trump Indictment day and parsing out the insane amount of news media coverage for and against the former president that Trump generates. We talk the huge ratings, raging controversy, and growing importance of women's college basketball and how big personalities and intense competition generate not just trash talk on the court but high ratings and even higher emotional investment that some folks are not keeping their bearing over. Also, our host Andrew Donaldson attenend the recent Appalachian Policy Conference at the American Enterprise Institute and shares thoughts on the region, his beloved West Virginia, and the good things about keeping policy people-centric when dealing with complex problems. We do some Heard Tell housekeeping explaining why the program is different, where have we been, and Andrew gives an update on the situations and issues that has kept us away, and what will be happening going forward. Plus, we end on a good note with a pair of twins in the UK saving the life of a man during the same medical crisis that claimed their father.
All that and more on this Tuesday Edition of Heard Tell.
