I have to be honest and say I cannot remember when I last sat and read a “14-min” item (on this platform and elsewhere), but I’m so glad I did. This is both refreshing and enlightening. Being a news writer, I can relate to how demoralizing it is to write basically a variation of the same in the endless sea of rehashed “content of the day” — no matter how hard I try to make my version sound interesting.

Thank you for this breather; you just gave me another reason to take a step back away from all the noise, or at least maybe drown in noise that I actually need.
