About this listen

 Gasia and Mike discuss their emotional reactions to the recent mass shooting at a Catholic school and church in Minnesota. They discuss the professional and personal challenges of reporting on such a tragedy as parents of kids in school, and talk about the physical and emotional toll. The duo reflects on the desensitization that comes with covering numerous similar events over the years, but emphasize how this particular tragedy feels different and more personal. The conversation shifts to the importance of communication within the newsroom, the need for reporters and first responders to process their emotions, and the broader societal implications of such violence.
