  • Episode 77: "Wrapping Up 2020 With Love"

    This is a summary of what you’ve heard me say most of the year. No, this isn’t about Covid. It’s not about the President. It’s about the need to put Humanity First. It’s about Love. It’s about eliminating the idea of Us and Them. It’s about ending poverty. In short, this is Classic Fred.

    This also contains an actual music break. I haven’t done that in nearly a year. It really adds to the feeling I’m trying to create, though.

    I hope you find some sort of Joy in your holiday this year. It’s probably never been so difficult. My hope is this will bring you just a little.

    Happy Holidays.

  • Episode 76: Star Trek, Autism, Me and You

    I'm beginning to learn a little more about myself.  I'm understanding, a little more deeply, why I love Star Trek so much.  Spock, Data, and Reginald Barclay are excellent reflections of who I am... and perhaps, we're all reflections of you.   And it could be all of us are a bit neurodivergent, which is a word I'm just beginning to learn.  It means we process emotions differently than most people.


    The video that inspired this episode can be found here:

    The music in this episode was licensed by Artlist, so it's perfectly legal, but I want to give a plug to Katrina Stone, whose music I am using with increasing frequency.  She did the opening and the closing.  I've never met her.

    You can find her music here:

  • Episode 75: "Little Light of Mine - The Season of Giving"

    I mentioned our greatest theater production, but I didn't tell you its name.  It's called "A Bigger Table," and it's available free on Patreon.  The link is here:

  • Episode 74: Hard Work and A Living Wage
    Obviously, I would prefer that no one be required to work, but I also live in reality.  We have to.
    If, however, we're going to do the work, let's make sure everyone earns enough to live.

  • Episode 73: Do I Have to Hate All 70 Million?

    This will probably be my most controversial episode.  I'm likely to piss off both Liberals and Conservatives.  I apologize in advance for that.  I don't intend to upset anyone.


    I don't know how to hate 70 Million People.  I don't believe I want to do that.


    This is my plea for peace.  It's not Kumbaya.  It's not Pollyanna.  It's my honest assessment of the situation.


    It's also my birthday present to myself.

  • Stargazer Virtual Community Theater Presents: "Only Through Fire"

    Welcome to Week 3 of Shocktober!


    This is the first of what I hope will be many Stargazer Virtual Community Theater productions.  


    In this episode, we're taking you to a small isolated village in 1666.  We have assembled a great cast of amateurs who do the work for the love of the Art, and the results are what you will see (yes... you should be able to see the show in your imagination) and hear in the next 20 minutes or so.


    Part 2 arrives on Patreon only on 10/31/2020 at 10:31 AM.  If you want to get your ticket now, you can support either Jenner or me on Patreon.  It not only means you get to hear the end of the story, but it means you will be keeping our little theater going.

  • Episode 69: "The Golden Arm"

    This is the classic campfire story, told in this most frightening manner I can imagine.  Seriously, don't drive a car when you're listening.  Stay with me after the story for a nice epilogue about the most fun I ever had telling it.


    Special thanks to Jenner Zeno for his post production brilliance.  He's most of what makes this work so incredibly well.


    Extra special thanks to Spooky Dexter.  Thank you for that, Jurine!

  • Episode 68: The Tell Tale Heart

    This is a rendering of Edgar Allan Poe's classic horror story such as you've never heard before.  


    Do not listen to this while driving a vehicle.  


    No commercials, openings or closings this week.  We even left out the Gratitudes to keep the mood.  Prepare to be frightened.


    Special thanks to Jenner Zeno for his amazing post production work.
