Summary
When Bill talks to people who listen to the Bill Press Pod, they tell him that one of their favorite parts of the show is when our reporters contribute their favorite stories of the week. Those stories can be funny. They can be sad. They can be important. They can be poignant. We've assembled a bunch of them for your listening pleasure here at the end of 2023.
Today's Bill Press Pod is supported by the Iron Workers Union. Rebuilding America in some of the most dangerous jobs in all of construction. We salute them and you can find more information at Ironworkers.org.
