This podcast is all about the basics. Last episode I talked about how my personal experiences led to my current point of view; this podcast is about the overall philosophy. I also talk about some minor changes I’ve considered implementing for a while and decided now is a good time to start.  

I’ve talked about pieces of the puzzle over the years, but this podcast is personal. It’s all about me, the hows and whys of the podcast, and some hints at the future.

Just a little stream of consciousness.

A brief moment at the opening to say goodbye to one of the favorite TV stars of my youth. Then, the subtle lesson a classic movie teaches us.

What do art, the color green, gay marriage, free-range parenting, and self-defense have in common? Beginning with Peanuts and ending with Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, I’ll explain.

Can you trust where that information comes from?  Are you sure about that?

A tax cut is good, but what we really need is tax demolition.

An unwanted topic for this month due to the events and reactions of early October.

The past few months I’ve been talking about the dangers of the encroaching collectivist factions on our lives. Here is a microcosm of one in action.

This was not an easy one; the research made me ill.  A cringe-inducing in-depth look at the Nazi Party platform of World War II.  See how nefarious they really are from an angle most people do not see.

How the collectivists worm their way into our lives.

The first 20:45 of this episode is about my history with the great DC Comics character and a review of the Wonder Woman movie.  The remaining time is a political discussion about topics in the periphery of the movie.

What started as a memory in honor of the loss of Chris Cornell turned into a monologue on my generation and the generations before and after.  I am angry.  I am sad.  I am getting some frustration off my chest. Catharsis.

Way back in podcast #4 I talked about immigration.  Things have changed since then.

With all the political preening, posturing, and protesting, I can guarantee on thing: I don’t trust any of it.

I need a break from the morass of politics, so this is a bit of a 2016 year in review that’s about 60% fun, 20% sad, and 20% politics. Oh, and a warning – I get really really loud about 16:20 into the podcast.

Post mortem on the 2016 presidential election

How a very unpleasant recent experience made me take a slightly different look at the 2016 elections. This is one I would like you to listen to and share before Election Day if possible.

Quarterbacks.  Anthems.  Controversies.

Part pop-culture, part politics, this podcast has a spoiler-filled review of Suicide Squad and political musings inspired by the movie.
