Armchair Radio

This week the guys cover CES 2021. While the convention was completely virtual this year, due to the pandemic, there was still plenty of new technologies to get excited about. Everything from single serve ice cream makers to toilets that analyze your poop, the guys discuss their favorite items from this year.

This week the guys talk about Alan Watts and how he popularized eastern ideas in the western world

Wim Hof, a.k.a. The Iceman, is a Dutch extreme athlete who developed The Wim Hof Method, a process for stress relief through meditation, breathing, and cold water dives. The guys talk about Brandon’s first few days with the Method and it’s supposed benefits.

The guy’s switch it up this week with a brand new format. They’ve added additional segments that are at least fun to make if nothing else. Their main topic comes from an experience Chad had with Sleep Paralysis. They discuss what it is, why it happens and what you can do about it. Be sure to check out the show notes on their website ArmChairRadioPodcast.com

This week the guys talk with Clink Knight from the Ohio Dirt podcast. They chat about sprint car racing and how Clint got involved. They also discuss life as a podcaster and how content creators have evolved as well as their days in college.

This week the guys give a quick thought on the Tyson vs Jones Jr fight, Benford's Law and how it relates to voting, space debris and companies who plan to put 1000s of satellites in orbit and even a couple of their favorite movies and tv shows.

Jason Harrington joins the guys again this week as they talk with Brian Hawkins, an animator working on a series of work that encompasses old Cajun folklores and culture.

This week the guy’s talk about Neil Postman’s book, Amusing Ouselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business and how it’s relevant today more than ever. Published in 1985, Postman’s book explains how show business, especially television, has changed the public discourse and led us to where we are today. In a place where News, Politics, and even religion are subject to their entertainment value.

This week the guys are joined by special guest Jason Harrington. Jason is not only a musician and a teacher but he also builds custom made tube amplifiers….FROM SCRATCH!

This week’s discussion is based around the philosophy of arguments. The guys discuss different types of arguments as defined by philosophy. The Slippery Slope, Ad hominem and Steel Man vs Straw Man or just a few of the fallacies they discuss and somehow the conversation meanders, as usual, into the effects of sound on a person’s emotions.
