Nightline

I enjoy listening to Nightline here in podcast form everyday. The sound is well modulated, and the background music audio is much lower than 20/20, and far less dramatic / discordant. Small nitpick: Ginger See’s voice. She tries very hard to sound like a teenager.

Chris Connolly’s report on Matthew Perry (Monday, October 30, 2023 episode) was excellent. It showed that prominent, and even the everyday, common American, deals with depression/sadness, or failure, and should be willing to address it and NOT sweep it under the carpet. We are ALL human and thus, subject to failure daily. Why, then, are we so afraid to talk about our failures and be real? What has our society and culture come to? My spouse had major depression 10 years ago (I did not even see it happening) and will only discuss when feeling safe or in a safe situation, even with me. A lot of the depression/failure feelings come from my spouse’s childhood of which there is nothing I can do about it—except to listen/be available when needed.

Is the world really that quiet?

I love the full stories that they tell; HONEST REPORTING.
