Episode Notes

This week on Poll Hub, we take a peek behind the curtain of our latest national poll to find out how voters are feeling post-election. Do they like Trump's transition actions so far? What about Biden's pardon of his son Hunter?

Then, Dr. Graham Burnett of Princeton, The Strother School of Radical Attention, and by extension, the Friends of Attention, joins us to dig into the science behind our shrinking attention spans. Researchers were hopeful that media would have a positive effect, but data seems to indicate the opposite.

Is pie the MVP of the holiday season, or is it time to give something else a chance? You won't want to miss our *seasonal* fun fact!
