Hello and welcome to Dear Hank and John.

Or as I prefer to think of it, dear John and Hank.

The podcast where we answer your questions,

provide dubious advice and give you all the weeks news from Mars and AFC Wimbledon.

But first, John, give us a short poem, because that's what you like to do.

That's why we like to start the podcast.

Today's poem comes from Ogden Nash.

It's called Everybody Tells Me Everything.

I find it very difficult to enthuse over the current news.

Just when you think that at least the outlook is so black,

that it can grow no blacker, it worsens.

And this is why I do not like the news,

because there has never been an era when so many things were going so right

for so many of the wrong persons.

A poem, Hank, that reminds us that the news exhausted and outraged us even before

the men and women of cable began yelling at us and at each other.

And which also brings us to our first question of the day from Diana,

where should I get my news? Isn't everyone biased?

So dear John and Hank, does objectivity exist, basically?

I like how we get to the root of the big questions that are basically

ongoing philosophical questions that no one has been able to answer for the last 2000 years.

Yeah, Hank, that actually reminds me that we got to the heart of the podcast so quickly
