The Levity Floatcast

In today’s episode of the Levity Floatcast, Dave and Troy discuss some of the hot topics percolating in pop culture. 

With the recent release of Dave Chappelle’s special “The Closer” and the nation-sweeping Netflix series "Squid Game", there is a lot going on in the realm of multimedia! We contemplate what is next for Chappelle now having fulfilled his contractual obligations with Netflix.  We toss around the topic of whether or not he deserves to be canceled and the right to freedom of speech. We wind our way through the creative genius of exhilarating Squid Game and the struggle faced by the creator while trying to get the show on the air.

This was a really fun episode to record and we know you’re going to love it.

On today’s episode of the Levity Floatcast it’s another dynamic duo moment. 

Due to a last-minute guest cancellation, we had to pick up the pieces on our own. Feeling overwhelmed with gratitude for how far we’ve come, we decided to reflect on what we feel are some of our best episodes. Diving all the way back to the beginning of our timeline we discuss several personal and fan-favorite guests, and what they’re doing now. It was a bit of a bumpy ride but we all made it out through in one piece.

Phil has been a creative for many years and draws great inspiration for his work from floating. He is a regular in the tank and sees it as a tool to further himself and his creation. We unravel how Phil Seth got into art from being more of a troublemaker and an angsty youth to a kind and gentle person looking to express himself through visualization. 

Gear up for a deep one because Phil will totally warp your mind.

We’re diving down deep into the archives once again. 

It’s important to always stay in touch with your roots and we really enjoy showing you just where we came from. This podcast and everything we do is from the mud. It’s just us folks! This episode dates to the throes of covid. Dave and Troy discuss how covid has been affecting them as business owners. Dave has owned Levity for almost 7 years while Troy began his business venture one month prior to the beginning of covid. Different perspectives and different levels of knowledge and wisdom create some interesting tangents. Business aside, amidst all the chaos this was a time where we were able to take a little back seat and sit with some of our thoughts and concerns daily. It’s relieving to listen to our thoughts and feelings less than a year ago and see how far the world has come. 

A lot to digest here and be thankful for.

On today’s episode of the Levity Floatcast we cover more ground than we knew we could handle. 

In our ever-expanding and changing world both individual and conglomerate, actions are constantly brought to question. Is Simone Biles wrong for pulling out of the Olympics? Is unionization within Amazon a real possibility? Should we be testing the efficacy of marijuana on certain forms of cancer? 

Whether you’re for or against any of these possibilities they are things that require further discussion and a societal push to become real. 

We jump straight into the action and hold nothing back.
