Your Heard Tell Show for Wednesday, September 27th, is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by skipping the caterwauling over the looming government shutdown and putting the blame where it really belongs, while keeping an appropriate amount of loathing for the using of workers not getting a paycheck becoming a required optic for everyone involved. Then we welcome Neetu Arnold from the National Association of Scholars brings a twist on the ongoing debate over TikTok with reporting on how TikTok's parent company ByteDance spent nearly $18M in lobbying and donations to American universities, and large chunks of those funds were not properly reported to the Department of Education. Then, we welcome back to Heard Tell Addison Hosner, as we revisit and review the Ron DeSantis vs Disney narratives, news, new legal maneuvering, the Mouse's relationship to the state of Florida, and how cultural wars and political theory don't always match up in the real world as the online folks think or project. We end on a good note, and the store of a grocery store giant gives money for a unique way to get goods and produce to areas that need it most.

All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.
