Your Heard Tell Show for Friday, September 8th, is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by walking through the latest 2024 polling on President Biden, the GOP primary field, where Donald Trump stands, and how to take a measured looked at what we call "campaign silly season" without losing wider perspective. We take some time to deep dive what's going on down south, South America that is, with the returning Gabriel Salazar Sing who uses a US Congressional delegation visit to the continent to talk through issues in Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Ecuador, and more. Plus, Gabriel explains how Spanish language media covers things a bit differently, and what to watch for in the US news media about things going on in Central and South America to watch out for from elections, to economics, to geopolitical concerns. Then, Nathalie Voit joins Heard Tell to talk about her writing on how the ongoing college admittance and affirmative action debate has brought a focus on legacy admissions, what they should be but have become, how they affect institutions and potential students, and how this fits into the larger conversation about what higher education is, has becomes, and needs to improve on. We end on a good note with the incredible story of a dog who escaped the animal shelter for the care center across the street so many times they just adopted him.
All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.
