What Aaron Is Reading and Listening To This Week - May 6, 2022
This a new concept on the Sharpology blog, and here’s how it is going to go. Every week (hopefully, fingers crossed) I’ll post what I reading, listening to, and occasionally even watching. If something makes the list here I’m not endorsing it per se, just saying that I found it interesting and worthwhile for some reason. That reason might be because it present a different point of view, but if you read or listen to something because it is on this list and you decide you don’t like or agree with it I’m just going to assume that you are mature enough adult to say, “I didn’t like that,” and move on with your life.
Now for this week’s list:
