Mandatory Joy
1Description
If you work at NPR, be ready to spread joy as far as possible. And if you work at another news outlet, don’t be too objective, or Morning Joe will come after you. This week, we’re covering the best, worst, and weirdest happenings in the news media with our friend Christine Rosen, who has a new book coming out called The Extinction of Experience: Being Human in a Disembodied World. You can find it on Amazon. And as always, Wretch on!
