  • Let's Discuss the Issues of Stereotypes & Double Standards w/ Paron Part 2

    Paron and I pick back up in our discussion on stereotypes and double standards. We bring in several elements to consider while you are listening, such as the importance of recognizing the impact of censorship and social media on these issues. It's also interesting to consider the influence of celebrities and politicians on double standards in terms of establishing norms we observe in daily life. I especially like the term used by Paron, "overstand," which emphasizes the importance of empathy and lifelong learning. Most of all, as you listen to the episode, try to come away with the idea that everyone has their unique approach to life, so let's try and work together to learn and make this world a better place for us all.

  • Author of, Miracles & Freak Accidents, Christen M. King

    Have you read Christen King's personal narrative "Miracles & Freak Accidents"? It's a powerful book that explores her experiences with love, loss, and trauma. She writes with raw honesty and vulnerability, sharing her journey of healing and self-discovery. The book is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, we can find hope and strength within ourselves. I highly recommend giving it a read.

  • The Day Santa Steve Herring Came to the Podcast

    It has been a wonderful year in podcasting, and what a way to bring it to an end with my holiday episode. With this year's holiday episode, I reached out to the North Pole and was able to get connected with Santa Steve Herring, who was my elementary school PE teacher.

    During our conversation, we discuss his journey as Santa, covering topics of his many years of experience, family traditions that impacted him, Santa code of ethics, Santa organizations, his custom suits, how his business works, the behind-the-scenes workings of each gig, and some tricks of the trade. This was truly an amazing conversation that I hope brings joy to all who hear it. Have a safe and happy holiday season.

  • Step Into the World of BattleTech / MechWarrior with Zachery Free (Part 2 of 2)

    In part 2, we pick up by discussing the history of the MechWarrior video game series and go into the premise and basic elements of the games. Once we get some groundwork laid, we go into the basic primer of the 5 Great Houses and the Star League to understand more about the universe. To wrap up the episode, we go into the favorites, along with the prediction of where Zach sees the BattleTech and MechWarrior universe is heading in the future. Thank you for listening to this 2 part series about such a fun, great gaming universe.

  • Step Into the World of BattleTech / MechWarrior with Zachery Free (Part 1 of 2)

    In this episode, I find myself returning to the nostalgia of sitting in front of my computer in elementary, middle, and high school, enjoying playing MechWarrior 2 & 3 games, both recommended by my buddy Zach. During episode 1 of 2, we go into the background of BattleTech and MechWarrior, his introduction to the series, and the origins of the series.


    Correction at 13 minutes and 18 seconds when talking about the Shadowhawk being from Crusher Joe, it is wrong. It comes from an anime called Sun Dougram.
