In this very special episode of 'Navel Gazing: The Valley Indy Podcast,' Eugene reads a letter written after Ethan reacted to an Ansonia news item with a "laughing" emoji.
Ethan explains why he chose to react that way, prompting Eugene to advise reporters to act like they're being watched at all times.
The reporters then have a discussion as to whether it's possible to live in 2018 America without having a public opinion on the Trump Administration, and whether those opinions influence local reporting efforts.
Finally, the reporters review the most-read stories of the week, and Ethan reviews the long-running Castle Hill development issue in Ansonia.
