Podcast: State of the Union takeaways, car frozen solid, bug infestation

Across the country, many people are returning to work after a long weekend and probably need a refresher on what happened in the past week.

Since I work in a newsroom, my husband, Dusty Terrill, expects me to sum up the most important and strangest stories, so he doesn't have to — convenient, right? His questions about what came up during the day enlighten me, and most of the time, his commentary is really funny.

To me, this seemed like a great combination for a weekly podcast. It is now Paste BN's newest audio show, aptly named "I Tell My Husband the News," which publishes each Monday. You can listen to the audio show in the player below:

Thankfully, I can rely on my colleagues' news reporting across the Paste BN NETWORK to pick the best stories. It is fun to pick the perfect item for my favorite segment on the podcast: "News I've specifically selected to upset my husband."

Here's a rundown of the stories we cover in this week's episode:

I Tell My Husband The News is a weekly podcast in which Shannon Rae Green, a journalist at Paste BN, tells her husband Dusty Terrill, a comedian, the news stories that he most likely missed. Look for it on SoundCloud, Stitcher and iTunes every Monday.
