The Daily Companion — Audio Edition No. 28 (Monday, November 2, 2026)

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! The Daily Companion — Audio Edition No. 28, for Monday, November 2, 2026. Ronan the Irish Wolfhound keeps the Monday welcome at the harbor gate — the lead story, "THE GIANT, AT PEACE, AT THE GATE," opens the paper and this edition. Day one of Calder — the first course, laid — with the wheel turned overnight and Bryor closed. All eighteen readings, plus the Tales (Niamh, Maeve, Oscar, and Saoirse), weather for New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Reykjavik, and the Toss Catch game. Monday departments: the Weather Desk Lead and the Monday Blues. The Police Report blotter, the featured report "The Watch, Kept Sitting" (Liam), and the Barketplace ticker and stories. Madame de Pamplemousse reads the editorial "The Long Way Home, on Mondays.", the letter from BEATRICE the Greyhound, Point and Counterpoint on the long Monday walk, Ask Bruno, Corrections, and the Editorial Policy. The Book Page reviews You Decided to Get an Irish Wolfhound — FOUR PAWS. Bruno's Blog: "On the Walk That Refused to Hurry," with the moral and Born Today. Music: one minute of "The Velvet Corridor" after the readings, and one minute of "Nocturne Elevator" before Bruno. Both are repeat airings under the owner's October 15 clearance — the never-aired song pool is exhausted, and No. 29 needs an owner ruling on the pool. The tipping disclosure (No. 6, Spanglish) sits at MID, after the season block and before the readings. Disclosure: The Daily Companion is narrated by AI-generated voices.
