  • Summer's a great time for reading.

  • Our pal Jonquilin just made a whole show about it over at Explain It To Me.

  • And I guess that's the summer vibe.

  • It's like easy, breezy, lesbian vampires.

  • That's the vibe.

  • Ooh, breezy lesbian vampires.

  • That's amazing.

  • The only problem is Americans just don't care to read as much anymore.

  • We made a whole show about that over here at Today Explained.

  • When it comes to reading,

  • one of the things that I've been hearing a lot from a lot of different faculty members is that students simply aren't doing the reading.

  • But now we're bringing you a different show.

  • Today, we're all about what we're doing instead of reading and what it's doing to our brains,

  • our politics, and our potential to connect with each other now and in future.

  • Buckle up.

  • Support for this show comes from Indeed.

  • So you just realized you need to hire someone yesterday.

  • How can you find amazing candidates fast?

  • Easy.

  • Just use Indeed.
