Min Legroom: That's the show. We're on Spotify and YouTube — if this earned it: like, subscribe, tell a friend. And housekeeping: the machine that writes this gets tuned constantly for cleaner news. The numbers are real; the jokes are not. One more thing: this whole station runs on one garage computer, and if the tape ever earned you a coffee, there's a tip jar at informant.reiners.io. It keeps the phone line on.
