2 A.M. Blues, Broken Timers, and the State of the Republic This week’s podcast comes out of exhaustion, broken scheduling, and the strange work of trying to figure out what WPS News is becoming in real time. The episode that was supposed to post today did not land the way it should have. That screw-up matters, because it shows how fragile even a working system can be when one person is trying to r...
