  • Nick’s Non-fiction | ADHD
    Welcome back for another episode of Nick’s Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz
    Often highly creative and single-minded in pursuit of a self-chosen goal, those with ADHD symptoms possess a unique mental skill set that would have allowed them to thrive in a hunter-gatherer society. As hunters, they would have been constantly scanning their environment, looking for food or threats; they’d have to act without hesitation; and they’d love the high-stimulation and risk-filled environment of the hunting field. With our structured public schools, office workplaces, and factories those who inherit a surplus of “hunter skills” are often left frustrated in a world that doesn’t understand or support them.

  • Nick’s Non-fiction | Either / Or
    Welcome back for another episode of Nick’s Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz
    Kierkegaard reflects upon the search for a meaningful existence, contemplating subjects as diverse as Mozart, drama, boredom, and, in the famous Seducer's Diary, the cynical seduction and ultimate rejection of a young, beautiful woman. A masterpiece of duality, Either/Or is a brilliant exploration of the conflict between the aesthetic and the ethical - both meditating ironically and seductively upon Epicurean pleasures, and eloquently expounding the noble virtues of a morally upstanding life.

  • Nick’s Non-fiction | How to Talk Dirty
    Welcome back for another episode of Nick’s Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz!
    During the course of a career that began in the late 1940s, Lenny Bruce challenged the sanctity of organized religion and other societal and political conventions; he widened the boundaries of free speech. Critic Ralph Gleason said, "So many taboos have been lifted and so many comics have rushed through the doors Lenny opened. He utterly changed the world of comedy.” Although Bruce died when he was only forty, his influence on the worlds of comedy, jazz, and satire are incalculable. How to Talk Dirty and Influence People remains a brilliant existential account of his life and the forces that made himont of the most important and controversial entertainers in history.

  • Nick’s Non-fiction | The Secret Life of Salvador Dali
    Welcome back for another episode of Nick’s Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz!
    Painter, designer, and filmmaker Salvador Dalí was one of the most colorful and controversial figures in 20th-century art. A pioneer of Surrealism, he was both praised and reviled for the subconscious imagery he projected into his paintings, which he sometimes referred to as ‘hand-painted dream photographs.’ Here are fascinating glimpses of the brilliant, ambitious, and relentlessly self-promoting artist who designed theater sets, shop interiors, and jewelry as readily as he made paintings and films.
