Hey, Estown listeners, it's Brian here. I'm dropping in to let you know that I have a new show out that I think you'll enjoy, where I'm re-examining journalism, the profession I've worked in for more than 15 years. It's called Question Everything.
You can find it anywhere you get your podcasts, Question Everything with Brian Reed. And I really am trying to question everything, including my own work. In the first episode, I sit down with a fellow journalist who called my most well-known story, Estown, the podcast in this very feed, morally indefensible.
Why do you think this is a story at all? What's your answer to that criticism of mine and others, even questioning whether or not it's legitimate to do this? Question Everything is my real time quest to try and make journalism better.
That was the opening. The rest of the episode (2 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
