In the wake of the Jacob Blake shooting, yet another example of police terror against the black community in America, & other recent events, such as the white supremacist terrorist attack & murders at the resulting protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the responses by major sports leagues, notably the NBA, & the death of legendary actor, icon, & philanthropist, Chadwick Boseman, we felt compelled to discuss what's been happening in America recently. To share our thoughts & feelings on social justice, representation, racist oppressive systems in America, platforms, political participation, & our solidarity with the black community & Black Lives Matter.

Peace & Love,

Sam & Harry

Note: Apologies for the choppy segmentation (if you're listening on Anchor). Harry took his first go at editing and, well, he's learning!

Apologies in advance for the poor audio quality this week on Sam's end – wasn't the best recording environment, but hopefully the noise reduction editing helped – & alas, the show must go on! Also, sorry from Sam & Harry to our mother for all the "um's" & "likes" – something to work on.

The Taggart brothers are back for another one! This time, we listened to feedback, narrowed it down, & went a little deeper.

Today, we live in the age of technology – no one can argue that. But is technology good or bad? If you’re reading this, then technology is obviously a part of your life. And whether you don’t think much about the implications of technology, or you think about it frequently, we think this discussion will be worth your listen either way.

In this episode, you’ll find music from an artist Sam discovered thanks to AI technology, plus some positive psych, and Sam & Harry dive into our relationship with mobile devices, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, robotics, the idea of putting chips into our bodies, and the fundamental questions of 1. is technology good or bad? and 2. where is the world headed as it pertains to technology?

We hope you enjoy! As always your comments and feedback are appreciated.

Peace & Love,

Sam & Harry

Hi, we're Sam (33) & Harry (25) Taggart – brothers from South Philadelphia, although Sam is currently located in Istanbul. The past few months have been a challenge, but also they've brought us closer together in a way. Thanks to technology, we've been talking more and helping each other through some real moments, & recently we decided to start a podcast – something we've thought about for a long time. In our first episode, we started with sports, which is a natural place for us, and tied in the pandemic, Black Lives Matter, other social and societal issues, and a few other subtopics. (It's eclectic!)
