The Weekend Desk Report

By Natasha Julius

Eh, you know how it is. Everything is looking up, but come the work week we're still stuck with this mess.

Market Update
Doesn't matter. Turns out free markets and small governments only work when you really believe in them.

Change Of Heart Edition
Maybe we were wrong; maybe people really can have a change of heart. But only for a really good reason, like:

Money.

The dead-eyed ability to lie your ass off.

More money.

A federal mandate to have a heart, which can be returned after 30 days.

Nothing, apparently.

The Weekend Desk Tip Line: Have a heart.

The Beachwood Radio Hour
Is in production!

The Beachwood Radio Sports Hour #45
The Kris Bryant pundit trap.

The Sound Opinions Weekend Listening Report: "Drummer Hal Blaine has played on countless hit records as part of the famed group of studio musicians known as the Wrecking Crew.
