Hi all! Great work with all your micro-assignments! Here they are again--they’re all super short: Write a quick review on iTunes or Stitcher. Tweet or share on Facebook the links to the show. You can also link to Soundcloud or Pocketcasts. Submit a recommendation for the show to NPR’s Earbud.FM.   Big number of the week: 41% of Americans trying to lose weight, a new low. Gallup says, good job America!   Creepy poll of the week, from Echelon Insights No, I haven’t thought about these candidates, what are you talking about?

Millennials are maybe not as connected as we had all thought? But that shouldn’t stop you guys from writing reviews, tweeting out a recommendation for the show, or submitting our show to earbud.fm. And, maybe we found another issue that might have cross-demo appeal: banning big game hunting. Candidates take note.
