Are we finally getting tired of celebrity culture?

The best way to describe this episode would simply to be a preview of the political year to come. The discussion covers many of the leading candidates as well as the political parties.

Is there a clear path or shape that the campaigns will have? At this time, probably not.

That alone is a concern.

“The Time of Our Lives” by Deborah Fezelle

In this book, Deborah Fezelle takes the reader inside the famous Juilliard School, down the halls of the Drama Division, and into the classrooms with her classmates.

Set in New York City during the early '70s, Deborah describes life both inside and outside of Juilliard. The backdrop is the Upper West Side, the Village, and the Times Square of that era.

During this interview Deborah Fezelle elaborates about her experiences described in the book. She expresses what it was like to experience New York for the first time as a young drama student during an incredible transformative period of her life.

For those who trained at Juilliard, this book is a trip down Memory Lane. For those who dream of becoming an actor, it's a road map for what it takes to survive in a business where "rejection is the norm and stability is a dream."

On this episode we are talking with a Recovery Community creator and advocate, Lindsay.

Lindsay shares her own recovery story in the hope that doing so will raise awareness for the problem of addiction and reduce the stigma which often prevents those who are struggling from coming forward.

Lindsay also talks about being a content creator within the recovery community and what she hopes to accomplish by being an inspiration.

You can find Lindsay on the old Twitter, now X, @L_Villandry and her YouTube Channel is @RecoverLoudly.

What we may refer to as an “absolute truth” is very illusive philosophically, scientifically, and in life.

However, have we lost our way in determining what an objective truth is in a practical manner?

Are “truths” that we don’t agree with increasingly becoming “fake news?” How do we know when news is news, or some version of a given truth that someone else wants us to believe?

Moreover, are we contributing to the problem?

This is what our conversation is about on this episode with Billy Dees and Shaman Isis.

This episode closes out the month of July 2023 talking about All Things Media. We discuss the rebranding of Twitter into “X,” the continued hearings about UFOs, and the recent passing of Sinéad O'Connor.
