Where do you get your news? Is it TV, radio, podcasts, social media, your phone, the newspaper, online, family arguments during dinner? With the political climate’s decibel turned up to the highest possible setting, I don’t know about you, but I’ve got news fatigue. I would love to stay informed but I am freaking exhausted by the emotional charge associated with the mainstream media - and beyond that, it’s hard to know what sources to trust. In walks Erica Mandy of the NewsWorthy Podcast. My guest on Little Left of Center is an award-winning broadcast news journalist and former TV news reporter that was recently named 1 of 50 women changing the world and media in entertainment - and here’s why. She started a daily news podcast called the Newsworthy that is labeled fast, fair, fun, and on the go. Each episode is less than 10 minutes and Erica actually gives you truly balanced information ranging from politics, technology, and entertainment - all in a quick on-the-go format that keeps you up to date in a fun and consumable way. Ever since I learned about the Newsworthy, I now listen every day - and I’ll tell you, I’ve actually incorporated something I’ve learned in her show just about every day in normal conversation. In our chat we talked about everything from how she verifies and corroborates her sources, if devouring and processing the news all day/every day for the show depresses her, and she answered my burning question which was “Could ½ of the population be wrong about their beliefs/politics?”
