Cognitive Dissonance, 11.06.09

Podcasts will slowly return. I'm getting caught up, but this was an extra-special podcast. The podcasts will probably be somewhat out of order, but they'll be here. This week's show featured Dustin Von Krosigk, producer for the group Goon Squad, and a youth member of The State Advisory Council on Juvenile Justice (SACJJ). The SACJJ is made up of twenty-five people with training, experience or special knowledge concerning the prevention and treatment of juvenile delinquency or the administration of juvenile justice. Dustin was in and out of the juvenile system in Wyoming for non-violent offenses and saw the lack of focus on rehabilitation first-hand. He was also recently interviewed for a documentary on juvenile justice. It was fitting to have Dustin as a guest on Cognitive Dissonance on the second half of the "Know Your Rights" special - I read each amendment from the Bill of Rights and explained the meaning. The Angry Malcontent was ranting about car trouble since he was stuck in Fort Collins, but the Fundits were present. They debated the vote in Maine to overturn the governor's signing of a law to allow same-sex marriage. We had multiple d-bags o' the week. Finally, hip-hop group Goon Squad (produced by Dustin Von Krosigk) premiered two songs on the show.
