Where's the rest of the article? Is there a rest of it? It gets to the end of what feels like the introduction, and then just... stops.
It doesn’t need to be any longer; one of the ironic byproducts of our newest computer companions is that, even in the age of short-form content, they produce reams of rubbish, very rarely containing anything of consequence.
This, in contrast, is refreshing.
[Edit] doh, the reference is explained in the first line of the thing.

So it's something like 'Thought for the Day' on the radio...
Public radio used to have spots for short features at the end of flagship programming, slots that are now almost universally filled by sponsorship slots.
(That's one of the things which has made listening to radio, even public radio, in the US, far more tedious to me.)
The "article" is the transcript of a radio segment/story (the audio clip at the top).
