    Where did you spend your teenage years? Presently many Gen Z'ers are questioning whether their youth was lost to social media, and in the United States a young woman in her 20's has taken Meta and others to court for knowingly creating a product addictive to teens. Was your youth spent online, a sprawling shopping complex, or driving past corn fields? Where ever you spent your youth, how did it shape you? Let's chat about it.

  • Super-ficial Super Bowl: America Responds to Alternative Half-Time Super Show
    Feb 10 2026

    Let's Chat! Share Your Ideas for Episodes & Opinion

    Making history, the Super Bowl has officially wrapped and results are in. America has voted and it's quite clear that some things are more sacred than deepening the political divide.

    NPR's reporting on the billions made during Trump's presidency https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-the-presidency-is-making-trump-richer/id1222114325?i=1000748574629

    The Super Bowl is not only one of the key sports events of the year in the U.S., but unlike other major sports events, it has become the epicenter of television advertising and mega-concert spectacle all in one. So the idea of an Alternative Half-Time show was something that caught me by surprise (I actually learned about it on Super Bowl Sunday). Was it effective? Let's chat about it.

  • Free Speech is So Taboo
    Jan 21 2026

    Let's Chat! Share Your Ideas for Episodes & Opinion

    Strange how in the U.S. we value the first amendment right to free speech, yet there's a ton that is just too "impolite" to talk about openly with friends, family, colleagues... even lovers. This just seems a little off to me, personally, but I'd love to know what you think. Let's have a little chat.

  • Warning, Craving Food Transparency
    Jan 11 2026

    Let's Chat! Share Your Ideas for Episodes & Opinion

    I love food. Not the same way, that I love a good massage or a good book, but it's up there on the list of things that I love. Sometimes we take the things we love for granted, and I for one take for granted my access to clean food. So what do we do when we are craving something that's potentially bad for us. I'm not just talking about high calorie or high in fat bad. Should we be warned? Should we not be warned? Let's chat about it.

  • You Must Remember this... January 6th
    Jan 6 2026

    Let's Chat! Share Your Ideas for Episodes & Opinion

    While major news outlets are running stories about Venezuelan's President Maduro's arrest that happened days earlier, what they should be reminding the world about is the attack on the U.S. capital on January 6th, 2021.

    *Note: I may have referenced 2020 during recording, but the correction is 2021, following the 2020 presidential election.

  • New Year, New Dilemma...What to Do?
    Jan 1 2026

    Let's Chat! Share Your Ideas for Episodes & Opinion

    Whether you spent New Year's Eve planning out the perfect New Year, drinking your friends under the table, or watching your kids turn into mini monsters as they struggled to stay up to midnight, chances are you woke up with a feeling of "now what."

    With so many options, I thought we could chat a little about what those options are and the impact that they have.

  • Goodwill, and All the Rage
    Dec 27 2025

    Let's Chat! Share Your Ideas for Episodes & Opinion

    It's that time of the year where peace on earth is touted as being the primary focus for all throughout the world and in many countries, the lines get longer. Longer lines for shopping, longer wait times in traffic... it's all enough to make goodwill disappear in the blink of an eye.
