Heard Tell w/ Andrew Donaldson for 14MAR22
Russia & China Cozy Up, Biden’s Economic Messaging, Calvinball, The Arts, guest Grace Bydalek
Heard Tell for Monday, March 14th, 2022, is turning down the noise and getting to the information we need on Russia and China getting closer under crisis, but how that plays into China’s history of wanting other countries in their debt, and how a weakened Russia beholden to the Chinese Communist Party is bad for everyone. We discuss the confusing economic messaging of the Biden Administration and the Democratic Party, and parse out what is/isn’t their fault with the economy, and what is. Guest Grace Bydalek joins us to explain the term “Calvinball”, and how is is an apt description of the uneven rules and contradictory policy coming from governors and others over COVID-19 restriction easing. Also, since Grace is a working actress and performer, we talk some arts & culture, how COVID-19 interrupted the entertainment industry, but also left a bunch of folks missing the important this the arts can provide. Plus, we talk about the looming fight over the Iowa Caucuses, and the Odessa Opera company sings at the barricades in an all-too-real moment of art come to life. All that and more on this Monday Edition of Heard Tell
