<p dir="auto">We do talk about things around the dinner table, but I think for me and my husband, we have very different ways of getting our news.</p>
<p dir="auto">So here’s how I keep up:</p>
<ul>
<li>On IG, I’m subscribed to NYT and Al-Jazeera for international news. I check out other things that come up on my feed, or whatever friends share</li>
<li>On Spotify, my go-to podcasts are NYT’s The Daily (US-focused but they cover global news sometimes, and they make it very accessible) and the Ezra Klein Show</li>
<li>For local news, I’m subscribed to Jom. Have to admit that I sometimes rely on friends to keep me informed, and occasionally I check CNA</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Let me know how you do it!</p>
<p dir="auto">To add: A snapshot of Jom’s coverage, as I think its readership is still quite small <img src="https://forum.kiasuparents.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f447.png?v=f4f27f6278e" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--point_down" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":point_down:" alt="👇" /></p>

<p dir="auto">I think the weekly newsletter used to be free, but now it’s subscription only (I started subscribing last year)</p>

<p dir="auto">I just learned today about how NotebookLM is pretty impressive for learning: I loaded in some course notes and could generate a fairly decent explainer video for myself within minutes! It can also create podcasts, infographics on anything that we want to learn about, if we feed in that info.</p>

<p dir="auto">Previously I mostly stuck to ChatGPT since I have a subscription!</p>
