Courage to speak

This week we discuss why Socrates was executed, the Raleigh call by Lee Oswald, the sainthood of Mother Teresa, the politics of Francis, and the one-world, non-surprise that is Anthony Fauci. Fairly broad, no?

What deep revelations happen when contemplating the mysteries of the Holy Roman Church? Well, listen in and find out. Sometimes Patrick Swayze has all the answers. This week we witch some wells, explore the rivers, and look for the flood.

Why the nation seems a little schizo in 2021... and some wisdom from modern pop songs. A nation born in conflict is bound to suffer a little mental fatigue from time to time, and isn't that just the nature of the world?

Shortie. Stay tuned. BC

A poem to start, some talk of Sleepy, and Demolition Man's epic Dennis Leary rant.

This week we open up Pandora's box and explore a little modern monetary theory and what sorts of things the Germans did wrong... and the Romans... and Mao... and Stalin. It's a regular fun-a-palooza of a podcast. Plus a public apology for being an insensitive jerk, followed by what some will call me being insensitive about Grandma dying. Cause that's how we roll. Thanks for listening. Reference links below:

"When you come close to selling out, reconsider." That's what the woman said. It's what George Bailey did. And it's what we should all do as often as possible. This week is a discussion about not selling your soul, literally or figuratively. Helping me articulate are Reel Big Fish, Lee Ann Womack, Frank Capra, and Jimmy Stewart. Thanks for listening.

A discussion about poor folks and their poor ways, local politics (Owensboro), a few interruptions from my inner Bob Uecker, and a word of thanks... let's face it... 2021 isn't perfect at all, but it's an improvement thus far overall. Doesn't mean we have to like everything, but maybe this holiday weekend it would be okay to count our blessings. 

Why is that bridge so far out of town, btw? Find out here. Why did they have that vote during an ice storm? Find out here. Are the answers certified? No. Is the host certifiable? Perhaps. The name is ses-Sil. Today it is, anyway. Thanks for listening.

She's not a lawyer, but she plays one on FaceBook... Kourtney Keown is our guest this week for a wide ranging conversation about career, live music, comedy, politics and religion. Yeah, all the high points. Longer episode than usual because we had a lot to discuss. Hope you enjoy. Thanks Kourtney for joining me. -BC
