In this episode, we talk about Joe Biden's first 100 days, including the joint session of Congress speech. More importantly, we each ascribe a letter grade to his performance! We then get into provincial politics, with the continuing dumpster fire that is Alberta in relation to rising COVID case counts. We have a 'hot-take' Premier Kenney's his latest press conference.
For PodReport this week, we both listened to the first two episodes of Season 5 from Slow Burn (by Slate), which go deep into the circumstances that led up to the Iraq War. Journalist Noreen Malone guides listeners through this odd journey.
