| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone, Heaton here. Before we start today's episode, I want to tell you about an app and website that I think this audience in particular will enjoy. |
| 0:08.0 | It's called Ground News, and it's a news comparison platform, an aggregator specifically designed to show the bias of the source. |
| 0:16.0 | Ground News takes the day's top headlines and then shows you how the different outlets are covering it, |
| 0:20.8 | so that you can see how progressives, conservatives and others are reporting |

| 1:02.0 | is the key to avoiding gout. So check out ground news. You can |
