@trufelman I feel like the ”a bit of both” option is missing. But a of lately, the unscripted but with a clear theme/points have kept me coming back. Love a good essay too, but feels lighter to pause/play a conversation for some reason.

@mokka I check https://t.co/9aof31PtrI and The Guardian usually in mornings and evenings. Some times https://t.co/XFeQXd6t4e too. Since using the car more, also radio news in mornings and on the way back home. Hyperlocal news through weekly discussions with community actives.
