It’s started to feel weird to NOT listen to Start Here to kick off my day and get a good idea of the news (even when it feels like the news cycle is rife with Bad News, Brad is a bright spot). It’s gotten to the point where if I’m listening to it with my headphones, my kiddo will ask to hear it, and she knows that “news” = “Brad” (and asks questions like “Who’s that? That’s not Brad!) when it’s not Brad, no shade to the other fabulous guest hosts who let Brad have birthdays and vacations and such). I always look forward to whatever pun or sound effect will surround the “One Last Thing” segment for an interesting, unexpected piece of news; it helps me contribute something at my work’s morning meetings for “something trending” and I love the annual wrap-up of best OLT stories every year.
