Episode Details

Heard Tell for February 3rd, 2022 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and gets to the information we need about how ineffective the PPP program was at its stated goal, how the money went everywhere but where it was supposed too, and how once again lack of accountability and transparency is at the root of a government mess. Also, yet another story about Veteran Affairs tangling Vets with bureaucratic nightmares related to COVID while that same government is making it easier for civilians to get benefits. We use Domino pizza to talk the economy and how such stories can be just as much an indicator as headlines and data. Guest Dale Cooper of West Virginia Radio Corporation and WCHS Radio joins us to give the local WV perspective on all the national news coverage of Joe Manchin, Jim Justice and Baby Dog and how it doesn't always match the narrative. Also, we talk about how media works from the business side, how it is changing, local vs national coverage of issues, and how WV has always had media that punches far above its weight. Plus, a great story of a civil rights icon from one of the most famous moments of the Civil Rights Movement gets her name permanently attached to Little Rock. All that and more on this Thursday edition of Heard Tell.
