Author: Josh Grimes July 5, 2020 Duration: 26:41

In this broadcast the focus is on Remembering the "founding voice in modern America media"; a look at some of the Confederate Monuments that came down this past week; a look at some the new laws in the commonwealth; and some the latest national headlines, entertainment news, trending stories, sports, and a historical flashback dealing with the fourth.

Josh Grimes hosts MediaGrimes, a news podcast that digs into the stories shaping our immediate surroundings and the wider world. The focus here is on connection, drawing lines between local events in the Commonwealth and the larger national and international headlines that influence them. Each episode is built on the understanding that a major global event feels different when viewed from your own neighborhood, and that a local policy shift often echoes trends happening across the country. You'll hear a straightforward analysis of current events, avoiding sensationalism in favor of context. This isn't about just recapping the headlines you've already seen; it's about piecing together the how and why, offering a clearer picture of the forces at play. The MediaGrimes podcast operates from a simple premise: that news is not a series of isolated incidents but a continuous flow, and making sense of it requires looking at the full map, from your own backyard to distant capitals. Tune in for a grounded, thoughtful take on the week's developments, where the conversation is as much about implications as it is about facts.
