1. Hm, "don't forget to dance."

Such a striking counterpoint to the growing madness.

I appreciate Reich making these though I wonder if his audience might want more of an in-depth perspective. It seems it’s an overview of events and I’d think his audience would be folks who are already following the news and are looking for his deeper insights. Spoken from this audience of one

2. Reich's articles and 'video essays' as I call them

are excellent and posted here fairly often. I tend to prefer broader and as you say deeper 'big picture' discussions over coverage of news that is focused on daily events and incidents. There's a ton of the latter and many who like the format.

Both are essential to learning what's going on with current affairs in this crazy country.

This video episode is the second in his new show 'The Common Good' in which Reich seems to explore using a chatty, 'talk show' style of commentary with guests to cover recent happenings. In time, and with the assistance of a good staff I think he'll work out the focus and what's popular for the new show.

3. Yes, I watched the last one too, the premiere.

I don’t think I’ll watch another for the reason I mentioned.

I love the guy, though, always have.
