In the 56th episode of the Life In General Podcast we look back at the second year of LIG. We discuss some of our favorite episodes from the past year, talk about where we would like the show to go in year three, and give a sneak peek at what else we are currently working on. As always, we also get a little off topic and delve into eye exams and eye surgeries, Janeane Garofalo, the American Pie movie series, and if Pink Floyd are overrated as a band, among other things.

It’s that time of year again, time for a “very special episode” of the Life In General Podcast. It’s the 2nd annual NYE trivia game on LIG! This year we are joined by Mandy and Eric to play a game called Horror Movie Trivia. Since Ian and Mandy are both big horror movie fans, we decided to split them up on different teams to make it fairer. I think we all had a blast playing something different and we were all surprised by who won the game. Music provided by DJ F.A.M.E. and bensound.com.

In the 54th episode of the Life In General Podcast we are once again joined by Mandy to discuss some of our favorite baseball movies, and why we think these movies are better than other types of sports movies. We also somehow get sidetracked by discussing some of our memories from high school. Music provided by DJ F.A.M.E. and bensound.com.

In the 53rd episode of the Life In General Podcast Ian gets his shot at running the show and we discuss the recent controversy surrounding the Christmas song “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” and if it should be played on the radio. We also talk about whether “blue laws” could improve the happiness of Americans (spoiler, one of us is in favor and one is adamantly opposed to the idea).

In the 52nd episode of the Life In General Podcast we once again find ourselves without a central topic (this time it’s Nick’s fault) but we are joined by Mandy Fowler and Eric Lindquist to discuss a wide range of topics including a University of Michigan study about trigger warnings, space exploration, the 2018 lame duck session in Michigan, and with the release of Creed II we even get into the racial background and history of the Rocky franchise.

In the 51st episode of the Life In General Podcast we discuss our thoughts on the new film Bohemian Rhapsody that came out a couple weeks ago.

We also talk about the 2018 midterm elections and what we will think (or hope) will happen going forward. Music provided by DJ F.A.M.E. and bensound.com.

In the 50th episode of Life In General we discuss what we think are the most influential years in modern music since the 1950’s. Since we both are rock (and some rock-ish pop) fans, that is the lens that we tend to look at this subject through, but we also attempt to incorporate other genres into this discussion. Music provided by DJ F.A.M.E. and bensound.com.

In the 49th episode of Life In General we are joined by Mandy Fowler to discuss some of our favorite horror/Halloween movies from our youth and today.

In the 48th episode of Life In General we discuss the future of the Star Wars universe. With how poorly the movie Solo did at the box office, what direction will the franchise go, and will the poor box office showing be foreshadowing for how Episode 9 will perform? We also briefly discuss the Brett Kavanaugh SCOTUS confirmation. Music provided by DJ F.A.M.E. and bensound.com.

In the 47th episode of Life In General we discuss the resurgence across the world of flat-earth conspiracies over the last 10-15 years. These conspiracy theories have now grown into the mainstream with worldwide conventions being held in places like the U.S. and England in recent years, and even prominent athletes and entertainers have come out publicly as FE believers. We also attempt to delve into some of the reasons certain people cling to these types of ideas and conspiracies. Music provided by DJ F.A.M.E. and bensound.com.
