In our eighteenth episode, we try a special format in the style of the sports television show "PTI", discussing six unique topics while limiting each segment to three minutes or less. First, we discuss singer Lauren Daigle's transition into mainstream pop music this past year after initially establishing herself as a Christian artist (01:40) and talk about new transportation projects coming to Charlotte—like the forthcoming Lynx Silver Line and the expansion of the CityLYNX Gold Line (04:45). Then, we move to the tragic events surrounding the recent mass shootings at two New Zealand mosques and discuss the role that Facebook Live and social media played in the fallout of the attack (08:00). Later, we talk about the college admissions bribery scandal (11:20) and the origins of the St. Patrick's Day holiday (14:25). Finally, we lay out our March Madness predictions (17:35) and share an update related to the future of Look Closer Podcast (21:00). Thank you for listening!
