The domestic implications of Ukraine, news media, SOTU, perspectives on politics & culture and more with Tod Kelly and Andrew Donaldson on Heard Tell:
On this Heard Tell Good Talks, guest Tod Kelly returns to Heard Tell to give his big picture perspective on culture and politics. We talk about the domestic implications to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the uncertainty it brings, but also some hope for how most Americans are reacting to Putin’s war of aggression. Having been a long form journalist for many years, Tod also talks about the state of news media and how the nationalization of it has changed not only how stories are covered but how the public perceives things. Also, we talk whether the State of The Union is meaningful, how some in the Republican party quickly switched sides when Putin invaded Ukraine, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Tod explains his excellent Seven Deadly Sins shows that are finally back after their COVID layoff.

Rather the opposite, go out of my way to try and get Tod as often as I canReport
Tod’s not kidding about the storytelling shows. They’re one of the most human, most touching, and most accessible kinds of live performing arts on offer and Tod and his partner in production find some amazing people with amazing stories.Report
