The 86th episode of the Life In General Podcast is our big vinyl episode for September. In this episode we are joined by Mandy to discuss several vinyl related topics. We talk about upcoming September vinyl releases that we are looking forward to, some interesting albums we have picked up over the last month, memorable records from our youth, and some records we think are essential to a complete collection. We also get a little sidetracked talking about a machine from the early 80’s that can skip songs on a record, the short life of LaserDisc, and the feud between Roger Waters and David Gilmour of Pink Floyd.

In the 85th episode of the Life In General Podcast we do something that we haven’t done in a while, a movie review. We take a look at the recent Netflix movie The Dirt that was released earlier this year. The movie looks back at the formation and career of the rock band Motley Crue, that by the late 1980's were one of the biggest, most notorious bands in the world. There have been quite a few of these music biopics that have come out the last couple years, and we look at how these movies compare. We also get a little off topic discussing some of our favorite cover songs. Music provided by DJ F.A.M.E. and bensound.com.

In the 84th episode of the Life In General Podcast we try tackle a lighter topic than in our last couple of episodes. In the wake of so much seriousness in the world today, we turn our attentions to the "new American dream" and discuss what we would do if we won the lottery. We also get a little sidetracked talking about mosquitoes, strange interactions with managers, what kind of businesses we would like to start, and if the monarchy in England serves any real purpose.

In the 83rd episode of the Life In General Podcast we discuss a difficult topic that is at the top of many news programs, the recent mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio. There have been some common sense proposals that have been discussed in the wake of these shootings, but we discuss whether or not any of these ideas could become legislation (we primarily look at the proposals that have been put out by Pete Buttigieg, who is running for the Democratic nomination for president). We also eventually get to our intended topic, which is under reported news of 2019. We also somehow get very sidetracked and end up having a rather heated conversation about the current state of American politics, but eventually make it back around to our original topic.

The 82nd episode of the Life In General Podcast is our big vinyl episode for August. In this episode we discuss several vinyl related topics. We talk about some upcoming August releases that we are looking forward to, some interesting albums we have picked up over the last month, how likely it might be that vinyl records are able to chip into streaming service’s market share, and the environmental impact of vinyl records. We also get a little side tracked talking about the great blues musician Robert Johnson. Music provided by DJ F.A.M.E. and bensound.com.

In the 81st episode of the Life In General Podcast we are joined by Mandy Fowler to discuss some creepy unsolved mysteries that we have come across on the internet. We have discussed this topic previously on episode 38 of LIG, and enjoyed it so much we decided to cover it again. Some of the mysteries we talk about include strangers watching people through windows on a desolate mountain in New Mexico, a missing woman whose husband ended up chopping up their children with an axe then blowing up their house, a 60+ year old couple who were attacked at a secluded rest area in rural Canada, a young boy who was found shoved into a cardboard box in the 1950’s, and a series of unsolved murders in Bardstown, Kentucky among others.

In the 80th episode of the Life In General Podcast we discuss a topic that both of us find very interesting, conspiracy theories. It’s a topic we have talked about in pervious episodes, but this time we are focusing on conspiracy theories that surround the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Surprisingly though, there are numerous conspiracy theories that involve several different aspects of that dark day in American history. We also briefly discuss the comical attempt to get a group of people together to storm Area 51 in September, in search of the aliens that they believe the U.S. government has been hiding there for decades.

In the 79th episode of the Life In General Podcast we are joined by Mandy Fowler to discuss the past, present, and future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With the recent success of MCU movies, and with several new series starting on Disney’s new streaming service Disney+ later this year, we try to look into the crystal ball and figure out what path they can take in future installments in this franchise. We also get a little sidetracked discussing several different topics, including, reality television, 90’s boy bands, terrible movie accents, and board games we played with our families. Music provided by DJ F.A.M.E. and bensound.com.

The 78th episode of the Life In General Podcast is our big vinyl episode for July. In this episode we discuss several vinyl related topics. We talk about a very interesting album that was released in late June that seems to mock President Trump on its cover, some upcoming July releases that we are looking forward to, some interesting albums we have picked up over the last month, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame snubs, and some of the more rare albums we would like to find on vinyl.

In the 77th episode of the Life In General Podcast we discuss our thoughts on the first 2019 Democratic debate. Twenty 2020 Presidential candidate hopefuls took the stage in Miami, Florida this past Wednesday and Thursday, ten each night, and there were definitely some interesting moments for the candidates. We throw in our two cents and talk about if anyone really stood out or potentially torpedoed their candidacy. Music provided by DJ F.A.M.E. and bensound.com.
