Hey, I'm Josh Speagle, host of the podcast, Lunatic in the Newsroom.

If you enjoy journalism that drifts into mild panic,

wild overthinking, and a guaranteed nervous breakdown,

Lunatic in the Newsroom is for you.

It's news like you've never heard before.

The only newsroom with a panic button.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, and gasp and horror

as the show spirals completely out of control.

It's not just news, it's emotionally unstable.

Lunatic in the Newsroom, listen today.

Hi, this is Alex Cantrowitz.

I'm the host of Big Technology Podcast,

a longtime reporter and an on-air contributor to CNBC.

And if you're like me, you're trying to figure out

how artificial intelligence is changing the business world

and our lives.

So each week on Big Technology,

I bring on key actors from companies building AI tech

and outsiders trying to influence it,

asking where this is all going.

They come from places like Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon,

and plenty more.

So if you want to be smart with your wallet,

your career choices, and meetings with your colleagues

and at dinner parties, listen to Big Technology Podcast

or ever you get your podcasts.

Bioe Kraizime, the snowman of the Shovek

covered the blood of Sirothišta.

Cross-prozor from the blood of the city

saw the children as if they were laughing and playing in the morning.

Their dreams come true,

waiting for Sirothišta to have a little chance

and get closer to us.

Milan, some of the scientists of Sirothišta

said hello to the Shovek,

back with a great idea.

His meeting on Saturdays

this week was held,

in order to organize humanitarian events.

The event has a purpose

for the purchase of the funds for renovating Sirothišta.

Elena became happy with Sirothišta,

she was happy and happy.

She helped the children

and she was unwell.

However,

she was happy and happy

but she found a sign

in love with the children.

On the other hand,

Nemanja was a young drummer.

His future was unknown,

which is the reason

for his life.

Although Sirothišta is a home for many,

for him he was appointed by Milan.

This international woman was the ideal

for humanitarian events.

Milan was not a smart answer.

She knew that the purchase of the funds

was a sign of personal reasons.

In the evening, Milan didn't stand

before the purchase and share his reasons.

How did Sirothišta's childhood

experience his life,

his snag and character?

His words were described

by the animals and started

with the emotions of the present.

However, in the morning,

when they were all bought

in Milan's heart,

Nemanja was not a single penny

in the field.

In a flat building,

she didn't know why she ran away,

but she felt that she had to run away.

In the evening, Sirothišta was happy

that she had to run away.

A few days later,

Nemanja returned,

she looked at her husband.

In the evening,

she realized that it is necessary

to come and help her

instead of running away.

That was a change.

Milan immediately stated

that the purchase of the funds

was a sign of personal reasons.

The answer was very

wrong.

At the end,

Milan noticed

how important

the relationship

with the place

she was involved in.

She promised

that she would come

and bring her back.

Nemanja learned

that she would come

to help others

and not me.

At night,

Sirothišta was

more than happy.

It was

a place to find

new beginnings,

where the past

was connected to the future.

Let's take another listen.

Listen closely

to any parts you may have missed.

It was the end of winter,

snow covered the roof

of Sirothišta.

It was the end of winter,

and snow still

covered the roofs

of the orphanage.

Through the window

of the modest garden,

it was seen

how the winter

and the winter

through the window

of the modest building,

children could be

seen laughing

and playing inside.

Niko

laughed

or radiated warmth,

even though

the building

had cracks

and worn out furniture.

Milan,

no matter

what Sirothišta

said,

hello,

we are back

with a great idea.

Talkback,

a former ward

of this orphanage,

now a grown man,

returned with a big idea.

His memories of past days

of Siro,

and hope prompted him

to organize a charity event.

The event aimed

to gather funds

for renovating the orphanage.

Yelena

stood on the ground

in Sirothišta.

She was happy

and one day.

Ethtoib,

a permanent worker

at the orphanage,

was hardworking

and dedicated.

Her passion

for helping

children

was extraordinary.

Her passion

for helping children

was undeniable.

Yet,

she was often exhausted,

but she always found

strength in her love

for the children.

On the other hand,

Tebbedeb

was a young rebel.

Niegove

and Budučnost

were not known

at all.

She was

not known

at all.

She was

not known

at all.

She was

not known

at all.

She was

worried

about her life.

His future was uncertain,

although deep inside

he longed

for a better life.

While the space

of the orphanage

meant home for many,

for him,

it only meant chains.

The Day of International Women's Day

was an ideal moment

for the charity event.

Milani

He knew

that raising money

was difficult,

but he also

knew the power

of a personal story.

During the evening,

Ut stood before

the assembly

and shared his story.

How is

childhood spent

in the orphanage

shaped his life

life, nurturing strength and character.

His words were sincere and touching, and they triggered a wave of emotions among the attendees.

However, at the moment when everyone was gathered in compassion, Ogab suddenly ran outside.

Scared and confused, he didn't know why he was fleeing, but he felt the need to escape.

The audience became unsettled, and the event was briefly interrupted.

A few moments later, the web returned his gaze lowered.

With an apology, he realized that he needed to accept help instead of running from it.

That was a moment of change.

Rought happily announced that, despite the brief interruption, the goal was achieved.

The kindness and generosity of those present secured the necessary funds.

In the end, Ogab realized how important it was to stay connected to the place that had shaped him.

He promised to visit regularly and contribute.

Bobieb learned that it's okay to accept help from others, and that he is not alone.

That night, the orphanage was more than just a building.

It was a place of hope and new beginnings, where whispers of the past mingled with promises of the future.
