Well today is Friday, August 5th, so that means it’s time for your weekly news roundup, where I read the news so you don’t have to! It was kind of a slow news week last week, but today we’ll look at payments Montgomery County will receive as part of an opiod settlement, and I’ll tell you an upcoming LEGO convention, and much more. There are events happening as early as tonight, so don’t wait to listen!

Also, I wanted to update everyone that three of you participated in the competition to get some free merch by leaving a review on Apple Podcasts or Facebook, so many thanks to KeddyAllen, wsuraider88, and winner of the competition and former Gem City Podcast co-host, Terry Izzy Rock Martin, so congrats and please get in touch to let me know what you want!

Many thanks as well to the show’s Patreon supporters Dustin Waters, Randy Brooks, Valerie Smith, Jennifer Riggsby, and Patti Heard. Thanks as well to my writer Johanna Kauflin, thank you for listening, and stay funky, Dayton!
