February 09, 2022 Spotify’s Sticky Situation
The quest to "cancel" Joe Rogan continues, this time with compilations of him using the N-word in different contexts. Spotify is in an odd place as being a platform for podcasts, not a publisher, yet the calls to throw Rogan off of the service are white hot.
Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur weighs in on this predicament, which he believes to be a bad precedent as far as furthering sometimes uncomfortable conversations.

January 26, 2022 Dr. Raymond Schuck - Cultural Impact of Don McLean’s American Pie
In 2012, BGSU Firelands professor Dr. Raymond Schuck co-authored a collection of essays with his father about Don McLean's smash hit "American Pie." It hit #1 in January of 1972, and the figures and meaning inside the lyrics continue to be left up to interpretation.
Dr. Schuck and Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur went through their interpretations of what "American Pie" may mean, but also the cultural impact of the song and what was occurring in the late-1960s and early '70s in America.
