The Albritton Letters episodes

  • Handwriting

    Episode 18 – "Handwriting" – Cursive handwriting has just about become a lost art. This episode is about handwriting in general, not just cursive, but all types of handwriting; cursive, block printing, shorthand, pictographic, etc. etc. The Albritton Brothers talk for 30 minutes about making marks on paper that represent sounds or ideas...or language. Sounds deep, huh? Well actually, it isn't, and they never really answer any real questions. They just talk about stuff.

  • Old Cars

    Episode 16 – "Old Cars" – The golden era of the automobile! That's what it was called; those years in the 5os, 60s and 70s when cars were made with "style". Big engines, and sleek fenders, shaped like the speedy space ships they emulated. This episode is about some of those old cars and why they were so cool. Also, why they continue to be restored and live on. The Albritton Brothers don't answer any big questions at all. They just talk about things! Have a listen, enjoy and share.

  • Segregated Funerals

    Episode 15 – "Segregated Funerals" – Since the Civil Rights movement began back in the 50s and 60s, most institutions have become more or less racially integrated. It has been a long process and even has further to go, but we have made much progress in this area in the south. Except for funerals and mortuaries! The Albritton Brothers take on a subject that it seems nobody wants to approach. Namely, the still mostly segregated funeral business in the south and possibly other places as well. Why is this? The Albritton Letters talk about it in this episode, but as always, they don't try to answer the big question.

  • The Pursuit of Trivia

    Episode 14 – "The Pursuit of Trivia" – Why was the parlor game "Trivial Pursuit" so popular? In this episode Lloyd and Phillip address the phenomenon of "trivia", and why our society seems so obsessed with knowing trivial bits of information. Are we just entertaining ourselves with this useless knowledge, or are we cluttering our minds with this stuff? An interesting topic, for sure, but do the Albritton brothers answer any of these questions, definitively? I think not. They just talk about them.

  • Sleep and Sleeping

    Episode 13 – "Sleep and Sleeping" – Do you know about circadian rhythms? Well, the Albritton brothers take on a rather somnambulistic subject for this episode; sleep. Joined for this episode by their oldest brother Ronnie Albritton, they talk a little about sleeping needs, what happens to us when we are asleep, why some people CAN'T sleep, and creatures that sleep during the daylight hours. All very interesting aspects of this topic. You must understand that much of what they say is pure speculation if not downright fabrication. But let's just leave it at that. They never profess to solve any important puzzles, they just talk about them.

  • Guns, Pistols and Rifles

    The Albritton Letters - Episode 11 - Guns, Pistols and Rifles - This episode includes Lloyd and Phillip's older brother, Ronnie Albritton, as a guest host. Ronnie is a retired Florida Highway Patrol officer and collector of all kinds of firearms. His skill and knowledge is far greater than most folks so our discussion takes on an element of truth and knowledge in this episode. As always, we don't approach any particular stance, politically, or otherwise with this discussion of guns. We just talk about them.

  • Johns And Johnsons

    Episode 10 – "Johns and Johnsons" – A short tribute to a couple of euphemisms that we all use at some point or another, how they originated, and a little about WHY. Lloyd is not shy about wavering off topic, so they also discuss a Johnson family of boys they grew up with and other fellows who had dyed hair. This episode introduces another one of the Albritton brothers as co-host; Ronnie, the oldest brother of the group. All one has to do is listen to a few of these podcasts to know that these guys don't ever really answer any deep questions. They just talk about stuff.

  • Careless Comments

    Episode 9 – "Careless Comments" – Have you ever made a comment to someone, and instantly regretted it? "Say Clarence! Is that a flashlight in your pocket?" It's easy to put one's foot into one's mouth...you just don't think before talking! Lloyd and Phillip discuss briefly some of the embarrassing things we sometimes say to people without thinking, and how to prevent such a faux pas from happening. Of course, as always, they don't attempt to solve anything. They just talk about it.
