Warning: This article contains spoilers about The Odyssey. Agamemnon barely speaks in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. The character is played by Benny Safdie in a role that’s almost entirely silent, armored, and background to the main story.

Rush-hour traffic crawling from New York into New Jersey, and then — once I was close — a maze of street closures I had to walk my way through on foot to reach the door.

Season 4 of The Almanac of Rap, his two-time Webby Award-winning podcast, is running weekly with no end date in sight. He's releasing an album this year. He's still actively DJing. His schedule, in his words, is razor thin, and any deviation means doing math on how to win the minutes back before midnight.

Direct access to news sources and journalists allows for updates in real-time. However, algorithms and the decline of media literacy have amplified the effects of echo chambers and the mass spread of misinformation. Overall, its impact on news is complex, with both positive and negative effects on the industry.
