There’s more news and less comprehension today than any historical period that didn’t involve literal witch trials, and trying to stay on top of it all can feel like playing a game of telephone with 30 people, except everyone’s speaking at the same time and like a third of them are openly racist for some reason. From Cracked co-founder Jack O’Brien, THE DAILY ZEITGEIST is stepping into that fray with some of the funniest and smartest comedic and journalistic minds around. Jack and co-host Miles Gray spend up to an hour every weekday sorting through the events and stories driving the headlines, to help you find the signal in the noise, with a few laughs thrown in for free.

Stenographer here

Stenographer here. Stenography is the hardest job in the world. $4.75 a page is not even the top page rate in the country. Taking down this trial and getting the pages out daily is going to be extremely difficult. Imagine being a stenograpgher when Trump gets on stand ! Stenography is a difficult to learn, low pass rate, extremely specialized skill and these workers deserve those rates.

I Like It

I haven’t actually listened to very many yet, but I do really like the question they ask the guest about recent search history and under-rated and over-rated things because it can lead to surprising and entertaining answers.
