Thanks for that reminder - I need to listen to that one. Ezra Klein is so smart! I try to wait until I can concentrate, to listen to his pods, and then I get way too behind on keeping up with him. It’s like going to college.

You are most welcome. I listen to pods after I've checked the morning emails, planned my day, and do a little clean up and getting dressed for work. When I hear good ones, I make a note to myself to find the podcast. The good thing about pods is you can listen to them in pieces.

BTW, GG was my late sister's name for her grandchildren, from her initials, SGG. She was my best friend and I miss her everyday. I thought it was a great name for grandmother.

Pods are a great development! There are so many options now, it’s almost hard to decide which ones to add. Soon we won’t remember life before podcasts.

I like to listen with an earpiece so I can move freely and get things done; it makes rote tasks like mowing the grass so much better!

Sorry about your loss of your sister. GG are my initials (obviously) but it does make a cute name. My grandchildren call me Granny; when the newest one struggled with it, we defaulted to GaGa (the letter “a” follows the G in both names). I’m happy to share it with Lady GaGa!

You aren't going to believe this but she was christened Mary Sheila and somewhere along the way she became Melly Ga. We freaked when Lady Ga Ga came on the scene.

Thank your for your kind words about my sister.
