Afterthoughts Podcast

After a long break we dust off the cover of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court and dive right back into the 19th century Hank Morgan's adventures in using his modern knowledge to tilt the acceleration of history.  His exploits are fascinating, but what does the book tell us about clever trickery, using modern-day knowledge as wizardry, the application of knowledge, and how quickly people can adapt to change?

We're excited to announce we've joined the After the Hype network!  ATH network are a community of creators focused on movies, television, video games, Actual Play RPGs, and pop culture.  You'll find us there along them with a minimum of monthly episodes and articles.  Make sure to check us at https://athpod.com/.

It's been a minute, but Kelly & Joel dusted off their copy of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.  This episode we cover chapters 1-5.

Kelly & Joel wrapped the book and have succinct thoughts about the lauded young adult novel.  They have less stellar impressions on the movie.

It's Kelly's turn for the next book, but we need a bit to figure out what's next.  Look forward to our announcement on social media!

We finally got around to the brisk young adult novel The Giver, and our conversation is equally as brisk!  Don't let that fool you, there's a lot of good in this story.  

This week we were joined by special guests Alex & Beth Orona to talk The Secret!  The self-help and self-actualization book spawned a movie and a healthy conversation with a wide range of opinions on the topic of The Law of Attraction.  Come give it a listen!
