On this episode, Mark and George talk about their cities' respective NFL stadiums currently under development. Atlanta and Minnesota are both using public financing for the development of these professional sports teams. Is this fair? Does the community benefit from these facilities? Or does this amount to corporate welfare for very wealthy team owners?

On this episode of the North & South of Things podcast, Mark and George discuss the great and growing divide in dialogue and civility in America. What role does social media play in dividing us? (July 19, 2015)

On the second episode of the North & South of Things podcast, Mark and George discuss aging LGBT issues. We talk about aging issues in the gay community as presented in the Netflix series "Grace & Frankie" (2015) as well as two documentary films - "Before you know it" (2013) and "Out Late" (2008).

It's appropriate that our first episode of North & South of Things takes place in Pride month and on a live LGBT streaming event with www.Pride48.com. In this episode we talk about Pride events, a bit about our experiences with these events, and a special interview with Buck Cooke, Executive Director of Atlanta Pride. #AtlantaPride #Pride #LGBT @georgeinatlanta @laffingbuddha
