In the newest episode of the Life In General Podcast we discuss the COVID-19 pandemic sweeping across the globe. Since we both work in a local emergency department, and have been receiving daily updates from the hospital and CDC that conflict with some of the information we are seeing online, we try to lay out the information as we currently know it. We also talk about how this might change our society for the long term, and what we might learn from this pandemic. Music provided by DJ F.A.M.E. and be sound.com.

In the newest episode of the Life In General Podcast we go back to a topic we covered all the way back in episodes 10 & 90 of LIG, people we admire. When we originally came up with this idea, we thought it would be something we would do on a semi-regular basis. I guess by “semi-regular” we must have meant one per year. We have covered a wide range of icons in the past, including FDR, Thomas Jefferson, Elvis Presley, and Ian Anderson. This time we discuss comedian George Carlin and baseball hall of famer Jackie Robinson. Music provided by DJ F.A.M.E. and bensound.com.

In the 106th episode of the Life In General Podcast we take a look at the state of the current music industry.

We also talk about a conspiracy theory that music executives in the very early 90’s were heavily invested in the private prison industry, and benefited financially from the promotion of criminal activity through rap music.
