Your Heard Tell Show for Tuesday, August 8th, 2023 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by taking through the “free speech and election fraud” narrative surrounding Donald Trump and his latest batch of indictments, and where Jack Smith’s indictment does and doesn’t agree with Trump’s defense. Zoom Communications has ordered all its full time work from home employees back to the office, so we’ll discuss the roiling debate over remote work and how many different crossed streams meet as exemplified by the company who became synonymous with the trend. Our guest is Rachel Chiu of the Committee for Justice and Young Voices on how not to help struggling local newspapers, as exemplified by proposed legislation in California. We also talk to Rachel about how we have done a poor job explaining and defending the First Amendment, the vital importance of a free press, and the need for good journalism. We end on a good note as we try to do with a celebrity chef bringing home the bacon to a very special family.

All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.
