44 min - David Beckemeyer from Outrage Overload
In this episode, Jane and Yergz host their second guest of the podcast, David Beckemeyer, the host of Outrage Overload. Here, he tells us about "Anger Porn" and outrage, not only in media and social media, but in life, itself.
While there is no ONE person or movement to blame, David tells us where it came from and how we can be part of the solution instead of being part of the problem.
You'll learn about The Connors Institute for Non-Partisan Research & Civic Engagement at Shippensburg University. Yes, fellow Pennsylvanians, THAT Shippensburg University!
Next Yergz compliments both David AND Jane on their accomplishments as podcasters, but also as researchers about what we can do to Inspire, and as David puts it, "bring down the temperature."
That's when Yergz makes the point that he learned that there IS more than just outrage in the media, but outrage in LIFE!Find out what we can do for ourselves, when enough is enough, and whether or not we, as a society, have hit "rock bottom." Reach out with us, across party lines, to have the necessary discussions with passion over anger, civility over hate, and lower the temperature with the host of Outrage Overload!

Hey Gang! Yergz, here! In this episode, we had a few interruptions, plus, ya know, LIFE! I didn't mean to scare you on Halloween, but Jane and I are still going!
In this episode, we talk about what scares us, seriously and comically, and Jane wishes me a Happy 52nd, so we talk about some comical gifting and parties! And who knew? Our 13th episode would be the Halloween Episode?!
"Lucky" 13!

44 min - Non-Toxic Positivity & 51-51In this episode, Jane and "Rusty" continue their examination of Toxic Positivity with actual positivity. We talk about the Wyomissing Area School District and their partnership with the Wyomissing Public Library for a project that spread positive messages throughout the borough.How this is toxic, YERGZ will never know! (Couldn't resist the name switch!) Then one of our regulars, Craig Bennett, was Inspired (yes, capitalized. Our regulars know why!) to write his own contribution about positivity and how he sees the world.For a copy of Craig's manuscript, stay tuned. Yergz edits our show notes. He's obtaining permission from Jane, who's obtaining permission from Craig to post....Then, before we go, Jane drops the "Rusty..." Let the digging commence!As I sit here, 3:30 in the morning, I couldn't think of a better end to my day. My son is sleeping over at a friend's. My dog is sleeping at my feet. And I'm not sleeping because at 51 years and 51 weeks, (yes, my birthday is in less than one week), I have a job that is a second career. It's not paying at the moment. But I'll be getting up in the "morning" for another long-ass day. I wouldn't have it any other way! BTW, my drink is Dr Pepper and a QUALITY spiced rum. I'm not a cheap date!Show notes always available at Yergz.com / Up The Middle / Show Notes / Both Sides NowSponsored by (DAMMIT we gotta start putting these guys in the show!)AromaByPeter.com/YergzLimitBreakDigital.com/YergzStay in contact at:And save this number (hint / hint):1-888-88-YERGZEnjoy!34 min
- Donna Usavage of Boyertown Forward
In this episode, Jane and Yergz get a visit from the Chairperson of Boyertown Forward, Donna Usavage. Today, we talk about how to counter the lies and political actions of Moms for Liberty and Boyertown Patriots. Our efforts to reach out, hear concerned citizens, and counter those who are spreading inaccurate and outright lies from tyrannical hate groups.
Yergz shares his first-hand knowledge as both a political scientist, and a Florida resident, on how to counter this phenomenon. And not without next week's guest, David Beckemeyer, host of Outrage Overload, where he taught Yergz on how to convince an opposing side.
From the quality of schools and the direct connection to property values, to the lies told by M4L candidates, to the outright control that these organizations want, Donna tells us the efforts of our home town to keep a small, conservative town from becoming fascist.
This is simply the first step, in what will be a series, even Yergz gets "voluntold" to help bring both sides together. This episode is only the beginning, and Yergz and Jane are both very passionate about this, as clearly is Donna!
