"Question: what was the longest solo activity you have done recently without any earbuds or other forms of media? Phone included"

This text sparked my little activity and episode.

I've been on a death penalty kick. I read and obsessed over The Bet by Anton Chekov months ago. That story led me to looking into solitary confinement and attempting to rewrite my own version of the story. I ended up reading and really liking The Executioner's Song by Norman Mailer. Researching ideas from Mailer's book led me to Dale Brumfield.

Click here to learn more about Dale M. Brumfield, Journalist, Author, Cultural Archaeologist, Criminal Justice Reform Advocate. Check out his website for his books and articles. Dale recommends reading Closing the Slaughterhouse: The Inside Story of Death Penalty Abolition in Virginia for a history of the death penalty in Virgin.

This is my interview from Moz 15 The Reunion, a virual reunion of the 15th cohort of Peace Corps Volunteers to serve in Mozambique.

The target audience in Moz 15ers, non Peace Corps listeners should be able to follow along, but nothing will be explained.

Bryce has been classified as the right wing nut job in my friends from back home group chat. He denies the claim. When surveyed by the Pew Political Typology Quiz, Bryce scored a stressed sideliner which is left leaning. The chat group was skeptical. In episode 16, I vet Bryce to see if he is a right wing nut job or a stressed sideliner. What do you think?
