Episode 80 of B.Boomer Unleashed, "The Fascination Of Socialism - An Interview With Yet Another Millennial (Part 2)" concludes our discussion with Millennial Sam Denning with his perspective on this recent phenomenon. Sam adds valuable insight to this important subject. I apologize that the audio on the recorded interview was not up to our usual standards. That's not Sam's fault, it was mine. I really don't know why his audio volume was weaker than usual for recorded interviews. I suppose that's what happens when you are a strictly low budget one man show. This week in post production, I tried to take my audio level down and Sam's to the maximum so at least you could have one volume setting to listen to us both. It's still not ideal, but it's the best I could do with it. I hope you will listen as Sam and I finish our discussion. I hope to have Sam on to discuss another topic at a future date. I'll do better with the audio next time....I promise. Next week we continue our discussion with GenX'er Barry Cook who adds yet another perspective to our conversation regarding Socialism. Barry also has a podcast entitled "Sheep No More." We hope you join us for this episode and all the episodes of B.Boomer Unleashed. Please drop us an email at [email protected].

Episode 75 of B.Boomer Unleashed, "The Evolution of News and Journalism (Part 4) - Let's Take a Look at The Fake News" is a discussion about the "fake news" we are inundated with on an almost daily basis. As we discussed with Jedd Flowers, last week, most journalists adhere to a strict code of ethics. Unfortunately, some would rather get ratings than get to the truth. We utilize an article by Rich Noyes of Newsbusters.org, entitled "The Eight Worst Fake News Stories of the Trump Years" as a basis for our discussion. His article pinpoints defects in many stories printed or broadcast by the mainstream media. Hopefully, you will join us for this episode as we explore this relevant topic.
