On February 25, 1959, a group of 10 hikers set out in the middle of the Russian Winter on what was to be a 10-day excursion into the wilderness. 


One of the hikers returned early. The other nine were never heard from again. 


Week’s later their bodies were found, and it spawned a mystery that researchers are still trying to solve.

The Daily Signal - How America Is Doing 1 Year Into Biden’s Presidency

President Joe Biden has been in office for just over a year, and Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., says the nation would be better off without him at the helm. 

If Biden “went home, back to Delaware to his beach house … and never came out, the country would be much better off,” Good says. “Everything he's done has been harmful to the country.”

As America’s national debt hits $30 trillion, Good joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain the greatest challenges facing the nation and how the Biden administration should address rising prices and the crisis at the southern border.

Also on today's show:

  • Defense Department press secretary John Kirby announces President Biden's plans to deploy 2,000 troops to Germany and Poland.
  • Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell calls for state governments to stop requiring masks for children in schools.
  • Lia Thomas, the transgender swimmer for the University of Pennsylvania, is in troubled waters.

The Gist - The Techno-Utopian Internet Game That’s Immiserating Filipinos

Paul Butler examines how Axie Infinity, a "w3" online game sold as the future of work, is simply reinforcing drudgery. The game's makers say it's more than a game, it's a way to escape poverty. In reality, its part cynical hype and part pitiless grind. In the Spiel, Mike discusses how Jeff Zucker's resignation from CNN isn't a scandal of sex, it's a scandal of boundaries.

Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara

Consider This from NPR - The Cost of COVID Safety Precautions Can Be A Big Burden For Some Families

Masks and at-home COVID-19 test kits have become staples of pandemic life. The Biden Administration announced in January that it would distribute 400 million free N95 respirators to pharmacies and grocery stores around the country. The U.S. Postal Service has begun taking orders for free at-home test kits. Supply remains limited, so many are still purchasing masks and tests on their own, and the costs can easily add up.

Wendy Edelberg is a Senior Fellow of Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution who studies household spending and saving habits. She explains how time is one of the hidden costs associated with obtaining high-quality masks.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment that will help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
