  • Speak Freely!

    The use of the word "folk(e)s" also makes the name inclusive and welcoming to a wide audience, and just happens to be a play on my often misspelled last name.
    If you want to listen to a show that conveys a sense of freedom and exploration, where you can discuss your thoughts and ideas without fear of judgment, a podcast where people from all ages, races, and cultures are encouraged to express their perspectives in a civil, intellectual, and educational discussion, then Folk(e)s Unfettered| Speak Freely is the show for you.

  • Memorial Day Episode: Honoring the fallen

    Welcome to the Folk(e)s Unfettered Show. Today, we remember the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces and died in combat. We honor their sacrifice and pay tribute to their service.

    A History of Memorial Day

    Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering and honoring those who have died while serving in the U.S. military. It is observed on the last Monday of May, which is also the unofficial start of the summer holiday season.

    The holiday was originally called "Decoration Day" and was first observed on May 30, 1868, at Arlington National Cemetery. The purpose of Decoration Day was to decorate the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers who had died in the Civil War.

    In 1971, Memorial Day was changed to its current name. The holiday is now a time to remember all those who have died while serving in the U.S. military, regardless of when they died or what war they fought in.

    A few recommendations on how to Honor Memorial Day

    There are many ways to honor Memorial Day. Here are a few ideas:

    • Visit a cemetery and decorate the graves of fallen soldiers.
    • Attend a Memorial Day ceremony.
    • Fly the American flag.
    • Donate to a veterans' organization.
    • Write a letter to a deployed service member.
    • Simply take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices that have been made for our country.
    • Be a good American!
    • No matter how you choose to honor Memorial Day, please take a moment to remember those who have given their lives for our freedom.

      Thank you for listening to the Folk(e)s Unfettered Shows Memorial Day special episode. We hope you will join us in honoring those who have served and sacrificed for our country.

    • Stop DeInsantisy!

      We discuss the recent bill signed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis that states Florida Colleges and universities will not teach Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Which the Governor went so far as to say was Discrimination, Exclusion, and Indoctrination. What in the world are we becoming as a nation? How long will we remain polarized, angry, and unwilling to embrace a conversation, at least, about the things that were created that disparaged, and disenfranchised an entire group of Americans? This is my perspective on the matter, and hopefully, this will encourage you to consider this subject, and the actions that seek to limit DEI, in a more fair and balanced way.

    • Is this America?

      Mass Shootings in America Since April 30th, 2023

      We usually attempt to focus more on people, and those internal issues that lead to the state of our mental, physical, and emotional well-being. However, this week has been one of loss due to mass shootings, and we will address this matter as it seems to be an epidemic that is taking over the lives of all of us.

      I really hope this is not the state of our country moving forward, we must do something to deal with the underlying issues causing people to murder innocent Americans for misguided beliefs accentuated by unmet or undiagnosed mental health issues. We cannot just incarcerate, or institutionalize people, we have to address this mental health crisis in this country.

      Is this America? What happened to the land of the free, home of the brave?

    • Welcome 2 The CyberFolk(e)s Experience

      We are happy to announce the launching of our new tech-focused show we are calling The CyberFolk(e)s Experience. As a long-time tech enthusiast, I have watched the technology landscape change over the years. My predictions on how technology would change our lives have been accurate in some areas and exceeded in others. One could never truly anticipate the rapid rate technology would evolve and the ways it would be deployed. I have been called an early adopter, I have a passion for technology that goes beyond a hobby. When properly integrated, technology solutions can enhance our existence, and level the playing field in almost every area of our lives. We navigate the digital Universe covering topics from A(I) to Z, yup, I said that.

      The Folk(e)s Unfettered Show will still continue discussing lifestyle topics, while The CyberFolk(e)s Experience will be a show focused on Discussions with Tech Entrepreneurs and their visions of the future, Digital Transformation solutions, and how organizations can integrate them creating strategic advantages, the concept of Posthumanism, as well as the ethical, social, and moral implications of using technology to enhance our lives. If you are looking for a how-to platform to solve your biggest organizational tech challenges, improve your personal life, or are simply concerned about technology becoming more intrusive, then this is the show for you.

    • The Book of Ruth: A Son's Requiem
      I recorded this episode as a requiem for my mother, Ruth. I take a moment to reflect on my mother and our relationship on the day of her birth 04/19/1943. It has been three years since she passed away suddenly and I wanted to record my thoughts on how she affected my life and still influences me today. We all lose someone close to us at some point in our lives, and it is my sincere hope that you embrace your love ones while they are still with you and to make peace with them while you can, reach out to them while you're able, and to connect with them to make memories that may heal your soul and theirs. We are all connected and affect in some capacity, now is the time to seize an opportunity to embrace your love one in a way that could change your loge forever. Happy Heavenly Birthday to Ruth Evelyne Moneke, Love you Mucho Grande!
