Heard Tell

On this Heard Tell Good Talks, our guest Elijah Gullett joins to talk nuclear power, energy crisis, and the environment. Elijah uses the example of the state of North Carolina passing legislation to cut carbon emissions, and how such goals are only reachable while reducing fossil fuels by increasing nuclear power. Elijah covers how nuclear should be the centerpiece of an "all-of-the-above" energy policy in a time of energy crisis, rolling blackouts, rising costs, and geopolitical challenges. Elijah also breaks down how the debate over nuclear has changed, and how the conversation about the environment could be muich more productive when addressing energy concerns.

Your Heard Tell for Wednesday, September 14th, 2022 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern the time we live in by cutting through two ridiculous trending news stories - golf course zoom photography and the Queen's funeral - involving former president Trump that are a waste of everyone's time, unless you are are news media and need the Trump name to move numbers. We skip the caterwauling and spinning over the Consumer Price Index and inflation numbers by reading the full release and source information from the US Bureau of Labor and Statistics including year-to-year comparisons and trends on more than just the headline making numbers. Our guest today is Eugene Ralph, Jr. a Young Voices contributor and economist and joins to discuss his piece "A Recession Is Necessary, Though Unwelcome." Eugene talks the necessity of the economy having ups and downs, how the metrics and debate over "is it/isn't it a recession" miss the point and are often wrong, infalted, or don't tell the whole story. Eugene also talks bureaucrac, corruption, housing policy, and all sorts of economic issues and the cultural and political discourse surrounding them, plus his architectural hopes for King Charles III. Also, we talk the continuing movement in numbers among Hispanic voters in Texas in the RVG and border communities, and how politics is still local even with a hot button national issue. Finally, we end the show talking about people who talk to their plants, and how it may actually not be a bad thing at all.

From the Thursday, the 21st of July 2022, of Heard Tell:

Heard Tell is turning down the noise and getting to the information we need by taking an episode to once again focus on mental health, both our own and how the issue is portrayed in culture and media. We replay a conversations we had for the Heard Tell Podcast with Clinical psychologist, writer, author, and podcaster Dr. Kathryn Gordon. Dr. Gordon returns to Heard Tell to talk mental health and healthcare. We talk about how the pandemic and various issues that came with it affected different age groups, how folks adapted, how some did not, and how technology is both a blessing and a curse for fighting isolation. We have a real, grown folk talk about suicide and suicide prevention, what you can and cannot do for someone else, and Dr. Gordon's own book "The Suicidal Thoughts Workbook." Plus, as we do every time we talk, we ask her for some examples of good mental health depictions in movies, TV, and media, and you might be surprised by some of her answers. All that and more on this episode of the Heard Tell Podcast.
