Looks great - Exactly what I’m looking for. Could we get different dialects? For Spanish, I would love to be able to select a country for the audio. At least a Latin American version to start. Thanks for sharing.

+1 to splitting Spanish. Even better is picking a Spanish speaking country and listening to news from that specific country.

This statement is misleading at best. The closest we got were restrictions of 10+ people. Everyone in this country throughout the pandemic you could have associated with a smaller group in your private residence.

I recently started testing YNAW and while it is still early, it shows lots of promise. I manage a team of ~40 and preparing for a full transition from Confluence to YNAW ASAP. The founder is also very responsive and quick to resolve issues.

One important reason is to qualify for financial aid at private colleges and universities. I have worked with undocumented parents of documented students applying to really competitive colleges. Some of these colleges will meet their financial need even if their parents are undocumented so these parents file their taxes, often owing taxes, to demonstrate their income.

Great idea - if I could change the style and some additional customizations, I would probably pay a couple bucks a month. Actually looking to start up a blog soon and starting to look around at the options.

"2/5ths of the increase during President Obama's presidency occurred during the first year while the country was still in the midst of the Great Recession."[0]

"The President doesn't have much control over the debt added during his first year in office. That's because the budget for that fiscal year was already set by the previous President."[1]
