Summary
This week's roundup features a really really stupid letter, that was treated with the contempt it deserved.
It also contains the best bits from this week's shows, from guests Nato Green, Aditi Mittal, Tiff Stevenson, Josh Gondelman and Matt Kirshen.
In the week that children made their way back to school (Tiff), we also heard news on US election swing states (Nato), journalism in India (Aditi), US Presidential candidates (Josh), and arts in crisis (Matt).
This is a Bugle Podcasts production.
This episode was produced by Ped Hunter and Chris Skinner. Does anyone read this bit?
