Description

This is Grover Reads the News - a news summary of US and global news delivered with the knowledge that the news itself can be overwhelming, the delivery doesn’t need to be.

Today we have updates on:

* The US Presidential Transition Plans

* Global conflicts, US arms trade with Israel

* Global fights for democracy from Hong Kong and Aotearoa/New Zealand

* A kindergarten classroom, some shoes, and a weasel

This podcast is also available as a choose-your-own section news digest via Substack.

To make this offering sustainable, consider becoming a paid subscriber. If you go ahead and give the show five stars, it will help us reach more listeners.

Until the first week of December, be well.
