Your Heard Tell Show for Friday, October 13th, 2023 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by having some grown folk talk about inflation, consumer prices, and the constant narratives about the economy that have a real disconnect between the numbers, the talking heads, and the folks at the cash registers. Then, we dive into the usage of "this is Israel's 9/11" in reference to the ghastly terrorism of Hamas, how the comparison is and isn't applicable, and how folks appealing to "how you felt" on that day need to also consider the days that followed. Our guest is Canadian journalist and Young Voices contributor Joseph Bouchard who describes Canada's latest efforts to regulate online news media, how the "Online News Act'' compares to what other countries are trying to do, the Trudeau government's questionable history on free press and free speech, and how the turbulent political atmosphere north of the border is hanging over everything coming out of Ottawa. Also, historian and Ordinary Times writer Eric Medlin has a new book out on the rise, fall, and return of the furniture industry, and how there are plenty of lessons both economically, in how technology changes businesses, cultural and societal impact of industrial change, and how oversimplifying things as just "change" or "globalization" misses what is really going all.

All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.
