Your Heard Tell Show for Wednesday, September 20th, is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by taking the politics of food, specifically food deserts, and what two examples of one urban and one rural food deserts and the discussion around them have in common, including that there are no good answers to this pressing problem made worse by folks trapped in their priors instead of problem solving the issue. We go to the UK and our friend Ben Harris returns to Heard Tell to talk about his perspective on Rishi Sunak, roiling Chinese spy scandal that was right down the hall from where he works in parliament, cost of living and housing crisis, young people "brain drain" possibilities, and Ben defends the UK's proposed "American XL bully" dog breed ban with our host, and pit bull owner Andrew. Then our guest is Victoria Snitsar Churchill of Young Voices who has been tracking the Liberty Safe controversy as gun owners react to news that Liberty's gun safes have a "backdoor" code that was given to law enforcement, and how a company that heavily advertises to specific, passionate customer base is setting up it's own failure when they don't meet the ideals they are putting in those talk radio spots. Plus, Victoria talks about responsible gun ownership, 2nd Amendment narratives, and the one thing that issues like gun rights and immigration have in common that keep both issues always going in the news media and social media debates, but never solved. We end on a good note as we have a story about a Karen - no, not that kind of Karen - an exceptionally good Karen that a whole community rallied behind.

All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.
