Today we're getting into extremism on both sides of the spectrum. What would it take to convince us that the other side of the climate debate was correct. And Paddy recounts Tucker Carlson's interview with Putin. Once again Trent demonstrates his awesome power to ask for a break and then just end the podcast. We hope you enjoy.

In today's episode we try to come up with some useful advice to give people who are coming of age now. We spend a lot of time talking about work and education, as well we try to come up with some advice about life outside of career. This seems like something that we'll be revisiting in the future, so rest assured, or be warned, that there will probably be some more of this in the future.

We showed up without a topic today and this is the result. We start off in the middle of a conversation about the recent expansion to our hometown's light rail network, and how crappy it is. From there we transition to how media using anger to gin up engagement is really starting to effect us negatively.

The regular scheduled episode of Radio Free Ortona had to postponed this week do to illness. In its place we present another of our behind the scenes clips episodes. Topics include a rehash of our not at all confusing nautically themed political spectrum. Why some countries drive on the wrong side of the road. Left handed presidents. Why do all tyrants seem to come from the middle class.

All that and a little bit more on another Episode of Radio Free Digression.

Today we're talking about the recent events in Israel and Gaza with a focus on reactions to it in the west. We ponder where all the open antisemites came from, and whether they seem to be clustered on one side of the ideological divide. We talk a little bit about whether the impetus for this attack came from within or outside of Gaza, and who benefits from it, because frankly, we don't see how Hamas or Gazans do. We also talk a little bit about the military situation and what a ground incursion into Gaza by the IDF would look like. Please give it a listen.

Today we're talking about the massive shift in demographics of the developed world. Simply put, we're not having enough kids and our societies are threatened as a result. Shrinking populations means serious economic woes ahead as smaller generations of children will be unable to support the benefits promised to their parents, and this problem gets worse as subsequent generations become smaller and smaller. We try to figure out where this will lead, but as normal, this isn't the place to come for answers, just more questions

We just kind of jump into it in this one with no introduction. Topics include...well I'm not really sure. Hopefully it's more illuminating to you than it is to me.
