Diary of a Senior Geek

I talk about the difficulty in communicating with people you disagree with and finding common ground.

The Clear+Vivid with Alan Alda podcast episode I spoke about is here:

You can find the Political Orphanage podcast episode I refer to here:

http://tiny.cc/pfd9rz

Along with these two podcasts I also like to listen to:

· Politics, Politics, Politics

· The Phileas Club

· Editor’s Picks from the Economist

· NPR’s Up First

· NPR Politics

· The Oath with Chuck Rosenberg

For lighter fare that’s also informative try:

· We Have Concerns

· The Bugle

· The Bugle Presents… The Last Post

Search for any or all of these in your favorite podcast app.

Here's a couple of links to the journal Dad used to record his life:

In this episode I talk about the pandemic, a couple of news stories, and why I consider competence to be the most important attributes for an elected official.

I’ve included, with permission, clips of Justin Robert Young (JuRY) interviewing folks waiting for last week’s Trump rally in Tulsa, OK. I’m interested in how folks who attend Trump rallies think, and I don’t get much chance to talk to them. These clips are a narrow window into how they see the world.

Some of the clips are relatively long because I wanted them to have some context. If you want to get the full context of these clips please listen to JuRY’s Politics,Politics,Politics podcast episodes from Friday June 19th and Monday June 22nd:

LIVE from the Tulsa Trump Rally! http://www.politicspoliticspolitics.com/blog/2020/6/19/live-from-the-tulsa-trump-rally

Tulsa Trump Rally As It Happened! The crowds, the COVID anxiety (and lack thereof) and the protests!

You can find these and other episodes of PX3 here:

Many thanks to JuRY for allowing me to use these clips.

I talk about how freaked out I am about the demonstrations over George Floyd's death at the hands of the Minneapolis police, and how I've recently discovered how insidious White Privilege is in this country. You know, fun for the whole family. :)

If you have Apple Music you can find "Trouble Every Day" here. Use it as the opening theme music to this epsode:

https://music.apple.com/us/album/trouble-every-day/1440928854?i=1440929208

I think John Lennon's "Imagine" would make a good closing theme:
