Judging from a few pictures the Biden&#8217;s Briefing team shared, it looks like he&#8217;ll be recording at least a bit of audio though. Either way, having a former VP dishing news he cares about from a bunch of big media sources is worth paying attention to. Sure, Biden could just share things on Twitter, but this will likely be a much less cluttered look at what Biden&#8217;s interested in each day. Of course, that&#8217;s provided you&#8217;re interested in what he has to say &#8212; time will tell just how partisan this feed is.

Biden will be introducing each article, and it&#8217;ll then be read by Ground Control&#8217;s team of voice-over actors, who read articles &#8220;in the spirit&#8221; of the publication that produced it. Biden will also be able to interject his thoughts during the read-through of the article, though it sounds like he won&#8217;t be doing that for every single piece.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How exactly the format will work isn&#8217;t quite clear &#8212; it sounds like Biden will be &#8220;curating&#8221; the content, but what&#8217;s unclear is if the program will just replay stories from its sources or if Biden will be offering his own take.
