The World As I Like It To Be Podcast

On today’s show Denise from California (twitter:@denisefromcalif) and host Eric D Small (twitter:@ericdsmall) give insight and analysis of the year. From the political, to entertainment to the personal. What did we learn and what are we hopeful for in 2022? Happy New Year to everyone.

A look back at the best episodes from this season with host Eric D Small (twitter.com/ericdsmall). We had so much fun this season. Show guests and contributors never disappoint. If there is anything I want you to take away from the show this season, it's what I learned from these guests. Take a listen.

On today's final LIVE episode of 2021 host @ericdsmall discusses the top cases and lawsuits everyone is talking about. First, the Minneapolis police department is on trial once again as officer Kimberly Potter stands trial for the killing of Duane Wright. Will defense attorneys, instead of blaming the victim (like Derrick Chauvin), blame the department? The trial is starting just as the head of Minnesota sheriff's department put MPD on blast for "hunting protestors" during the city wide protests. Then, the Crumblys are on trial Michigan. Son Ethan is on trial for psychotically gunning down students in his school, while the parents are on trial for buying him the gun to do it. Meanwhile Darrell Brooks, a man who drove his truck into a parade killing adults and children, feels like he is being demonized by the court of public opinion. The more serious concern we have is what this will do to efforts at criminal justice reform. Finally Theranos trial comes to a close and Ghislane Maxwell trial is just getting started!

On today's special podcast only episode, @denisefromcalif joins @ericdsmall to discuss Build Back Better, the Gosar centure vote, Kyle Rittenhouse verdict and more. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Two very different trials, but the same unprecedented act made by the defense.Like the Kyle Rittenhouse case, the defendants, who have a right to remain silent, decide to take the stand.Why?Are they so confident in their innocence or that the jury will believe them?In Elizabeth Holmes trial, much has been said of the former CEO’s way to cast a spell on people to do her bidding. Will she be successful with this jury?Host Eric Darnely Small shares a report on her testimony from Friday. Meanwhile, in the case of the McMichaels in Georgia, the judge has already said race has played a part in the jury selection.Is Travis McMichael hoping white nationalism and racial solidarity will help him? An analysis of the testimony.

On today's LIVE show, host @ericdsmall goes over the highs and lows of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. Did the prosecution make its case?

On this special Friday episode host @ericdsmall and contributor @denisefromcalif take a closer look at the elections last week.The press says election day was all doom and gloom for democrats thanks to progressives in Washington.But the truth is people of color, democrats and progressives defied political history, gained and in some cases held seats. We discuss all of this and reconciliation and bi partisan bills.Will Biden's infrastructure plan help democrats in 2022 and 2024?

On this podcast only episode host @ericdsmall continues the conversation with retired detective Darnley Small. What is the paradigm and how can it explain everything from racism to the resistance to the covid-19 pandemic and perhaps even the partisan divide in America? How can Eric Adams use the four p's to create collusion that helps the city, the police and the people?

On today's show host @ericdsmall follows up on the ballot initiatives from last week. Did they win or lose? Then the trial of the killers of Ahmad Arbery in GA and shooter Kyle Rittenhouse in WI. Once again stand your ground and the second amendment are on trial. While in CA, Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes face down her investors as jurors become bored over the evidence. Finally, part one of a two part conversation with Detective Darnley Small regarding his friend NYC mayor-elect Eric Adams.

On today’s LIVE gaffe filled episode (sorry for the lost audio), host @ericdsmall plays a small portion of SCOTUS LIVE testimony over the TX abortion law. Then a quick look at the governor’s race in New Jersey and Virginia.But most of the show is spent reviewing propositions, questions and statements aka ballot initiatives in Colorado, Maine, New York, Texas and others.Some, like in Minneapolis, will have dramatic impact on the community, the state and black lives matter/criminal justice movements.
