I’m just a housewife. At home all day. But I start my mornings with David and his staff all week. Great stories and the questions he asks are the questions I think about while he’s doing the interviews!! I don’t miss an episode. Concise and thorough. Thank you for the work you all do. Good reporting!

David Rind is the perfect host for this comprehensive podcast. “Brevity is the soul of wit,” indeed as David and his guests delve into one issue each week - thoughtful, in depth reporting, under 10 minutes. I look forward to it every Sunday.

Kudos to David Rind for this compassionate report on a subject that is not always covered so kindly. His empathy for fentanyl’s victims, their families, and the officials struggling to deal with the crisis is very touching.

“One Thing” is a great way to learn about a single topic, currently in the news, directly from the reporters working the story. I always come away with a better understanding of the issue. I recommend this podcast.
