    Is local news dying? The short answer is yes. The long answer is also yes. But there is still time to save it. On this episode of HDI Kevin rings in 2021 with a topic that threatens our democracy as we know it. Also John gets pretty drunk. Not intentionally...he's just a lightweight. Happy New Year, Mistorians!

  • I Don't Like Doing Peyote In Crowds

    Before Kevin's baby came into the world to dominate his life the crew recorded a quick series of episodes to publish while Kevin is out of commission. The theme: things that make us uncomfortable. On the first of the series Greg leads us in a conversation about enochlophobia. We know what you're thinking...what the hell does that mean? It means he has a fear of crowds. Another thing we know you're thinking: that guy is afraid of everything. You are correct.

  • The Golden Gorge of California

    Donald Trump did his best to destroy and pillage some of the most beautiful places in this country. Hopefully beginning in mid-January we can work to undo...well...pretty much everything he did in the past four years. On this episode John guides us through a discussion about national parks and federal land. We talk about Teddy Roosevelt, the massive efforts over the years to protect federal lands, and how one administration sought to destroy those efforts in record time. Also, Greg really, really likes Cool Ranch Doritos.
