And I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m the only one. They keep on talking about Trump and Harris, writing reams of copy, and I&#8217;m not sure any of it moves the needle. As a matter of fact, many people I know have already voted, never mind the fact that I can&#8217;t find a single undecided voter.<\/p>\n<p>Not that I can find a non-news podcast that intrigues me, that I&#8217;m addicted to. I can&#8217;t listen to Kara Swisher kiss ass and claim to know everybody in tech anymore. And true crime&#8230;been there, done that.<\/p>\n<p>So I pulled up the Moth.<\/p>\n<p>Not that every story has a satisfying ending. But it&#8217;s reality, humanity, and it roots me in what really counts, life.<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;m listening to this episode and there&#8217;s a fascinating story about a fortysomething woman adopted from Korea as a child who ultimately finds out not only does she have a whole findable family in Korea, she&#8217;s got a twin sister! Pretty intriguing, since my significant other is a twin.<\/p>\n<p>And then the next story starts and&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s all about fake #1s. About an article that states the BTS Army makes their favorite act&#8217;s albums go straight to the top of the chart even though most people are not fans and don&#8217;t even know the music.<\/p>\n<p>And this guy talking, Paul Chin, tweets to the writer of this article, saying every #1 is manipulated and then&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The BTS Army adopts him, supports him.<\/p>\n<p>Chin is a wannabe artist. Scratch that, he&#8217;s an artist who wants to give up his day job. He&#8217;s trying one more time, and if he doesn&#8217;t succeed, he&#8217;ll give up his music career.<\/p>\n<p>And&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>This is the power of social media. This is why you weigh in. Because you never know when you&#8217;ll get lucky.<\/p>\n<p>This episode does not load quickly, but ultimately it will load. Or you can pull up the episode in your podcast player of choice, it&#8217;s entitled &#8220;Lo and Behold,&#8221; and was published on 10\/15\/24.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;ll make you think. Make you feel warm inside.<\/p>\n<p>And educate you all in the same process.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scroll down to &#8220;Fandom Subletter&#8221; and click on &#8220;Listen Now&#8221;: https:\/\/themoth.org\/radio-hour\/lo-and-behold I&#8217;m burned out on politics.
