Before I venture off to read other news stories, or to read where my tweetdeck had led me, I generally get a dose of what the writers at Slate feel like stating their opinion on and what news items are worthy of coverage. They have also been producing a few podcasts recently, with @SlateRepresent being one that I listen to religiously when new episodes are released. This is me reading into my own political echo chamber here…as I generally find myself nodding along. Maybe one day I’ll get an op-ed posted there.
