The 95th episode of the Life In General Podcast is part one of our big vinyl episode for November. The episode went a little longer than expected, so we decided to break it into two parts. It ended up being a good thing since episode 96 accidentally got deleted, so part two of this episode will be out next week. In this episode we discuss several vinyl related topics. We talk about some upcoming November vinyl releases that we are looking forward to, some interesting albums we have picked up over the last month, and the upcoming Record Store Day Black Friday event. In part two, which will be out next week, we discuss Jethro Tull vinyl. Music provided by DJ F.A.M.E. and bensound.com.

In the 94th episode of the Life In General Podcast we are joined by Mandy to discuss some horror movies that we think should be remade. Since Halloween is right around the corner, we wanted to stick with a topic that celebrates Ian’s favorite holiday, and as big horror movie fans we thought it would be fun to look back at some of our favorite horror movies that could benefit from being remade/reimagined.

In the 93rd episode of the Life In General Podcast we are joined by Mandy to discuss whether we think ghosts really do exist. Since it is so close to Halloween, we figured we would have a little fun and discuss something we have talked about privately for years. We also talk about some personal ghost stories (or from other family members or friends). Music provided by DJ F.A.M.E. and bensound.com.

In the 92nd episode of the Life In General Podcast we are joined by Mandy to discuss our top 10 movies of the 1990’s. We always enjoy doing these top 10 lists, and this one seemed a little more difficult than others to put together, but we had fun trying. We also get a little sidetracked talking about the moon landing conspiracy theory, and Mandy’s hatred of Jethro Tull. Music provided by DJ F.A.M.E. and bensound.com.

In this bonus episode of the Life In General Podcast we discuss a topic that has been all over the news the last couple weeks, the possible impeachment of president Donald Trump, and what the Democrats will do (but probably shouldn’t) moving forward. This is potentially an important topic and something that both of us have strong opinions on (and not always the same), but didn’t fit into our upcoming recording schedule, so we decided to do a bonus episode to cover it. We also get a little sidetracked discussing (sometimes in a heated way) the current state of American politics, overall corruption and power in politics, and grey areas in politics/ our criminal justice system/ life.

The 91st episode of the Life In General Podcast is our big vinyl episode for October. In this episode we are joined by Mandy to discuss several vinyl related topics. We talk about some upcoming October vinyl releases that we are looking forward to, some interesting albums we have picked up over the last month, the success of the new blink-182 album NINE, and some of our favorite musical guilty pleasures. Music provided by DJ F.A.M.E. and bensound.com.

In the 90th episode of the Life In General Podcast we go back to a topic we covered all the way back in episode 10 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. It has taken us a little while (80 episodes and about 29 months) to come around back to this topic. The first time we covered this, we talked about FDR and Thomas Jefferson. This time we kept it to musicians and discuss Elvis Presley and Ian Anderson. Music provided by DJ F.A.M.E. and bensound.com.

In the 89th episode of the Life In General Podcast we discuss some of the podcasts we have enjoyed listening to over the years, also the shows that inspired us to start our own podcast. We also talk about Ian being an anti-technology old man, especially his inability to return a text message in a reasonable amount of time. Music provided by DJ F.A.M.E. and bensound.com.

In the 88th episode of the Life In General Podcast we didn't plan on having a central topic, so we discuss a number of things including adventures in nursing school, the importance of social life in high school, the vaping ban in Michigan, and a school in Tennessee that has banned Harry Potter books because students have been using magic on their teachers. Music provided by DJ F.A.M.E. and bensound.com.

In the 87th episode of the Life In General Podcast we discuss how reality TV has affected not only television, but also our society. TV in general has undergone a large evolution over the last 25+ years, and much of this can be attributed to these unscripted programs that typically cost a fraction of what traditional scripted programming costs to produce.
