Between the Oscars and Daylight Savings Time, our society has conspired once again to rob us of about five hours of our lives, and if you include tonight’s yapping about those things, you can add another two hours to the tally. We are accelerating towards oblivion faster than ever, and it’s all our own fault. Throw in some culture war talk and trying to figure out what happened with the Silicon Valley Bank failure and you’ve got yourself the latest episode of CIB. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it on Facebook or Twitter, leave a comment on the show’s page on our website, or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!
