Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, hour two.

I want to talk about a story.

Didn't get in a lot of attention.

Let me back up for just a moment here.

I have a very cool job.

I get to sit behind a microphone in a room where there is no one.

It's just me.

Perfect job for an introvert.

And I get to talk to millions of people about what I want to talk about. Now, there's a catch. If I suck, I'm boring and I'm not entertaining, the ratings go down.

Well, I lose my job. But if I can be engaging in entertaining and hold your attention for what's called an

average quarterly hour, then I might be able to keep my job. One of the things I like to do

is based on my frustration with so much of the lack of seriousness in the world today.

So I like to talk to you about stories that I consider some of the biggest stories on planet Earth

that no one is really paying attention to.
