We’re done with intermission and on to the 2nd act of Hamilton! As we break down the first part, we dive into familiar faces playing new roles, always saying no (to Maria Reynolds), and how good it is to be besties with George Washington. From there we move on to Thomas Jefferson’s pursuit of the Presidency, Hamilton’s (stupid) decision to write about his affair, the Phillip throwing away his shot. To wrap up, we look at how tragedy brought forgiveness and end with Veep Aaron Burr (sir).

We’re not throwing away our shot... to bring you more about all things Hamilton! This week we’re wrapping up Act 1 by diving into some of the best songs and performances, including Helpless, Wait for It, The Duel Commandments, and what could possibly be the best song of the entire musical, Yorktown! John and I also dive into who this musical is really about, the similarities between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr (sir), and how Lin-Manuel managed to fit all of these incredible moments (which could be an entire musical on their own) into just the first Act!

I am Alexander Hamilton... not really, but we are talking about all things Hamilton this week (and the next few weeks actually)! John & I, much like the rest of the world right now, are filling our COVID quarantine days watching Hamilton. So we thought it would be fun to take some time and deep dive into the musical, but in a slightly different way. There’s plenty of people out there bringing you reviews of the musical - and frankly doing it much better than we could. So instead, we wanted to break it down for all of you, focusing on the music, the story, and emotions that bring it all together!

So enjoy our breakdown of Act 1, Part 1 - and come back next week for Part 2, leading us into the intermission break.

The NBA is back (hopefully) and we’re here to talk about all things NBA! John and I go through the power rankings for the final 22 teams and predict how they’ll do in their remaining 8 games. We talk winners and loser, and make our conference finals predictions. Who’s got a chance to win The Finals this year??? We’ve got our pick and want to know yours as well!

Sports! Are they back?? This week, John & I talk about all things Major League Baseball and the potential return of sports in a COVID world. We discuss the proposed changes to a shortened season and the long-term impact that it could have the game of baseball. We also talk about baseball’s most prized possession - the Hall of Fame - and what records will look like if there are future MLB seasons with less games. With everything considered, does it even make sense to try and come back and play? We discuss potential injuries, the lack of fans, travel restrictions, and everything else that possibly wasn’t thought of when planning the return of America’s pastime.

This week’s topic is... John, what’s this week’s topic? Oh that’s right... we’re continuing to talk about all things keto, 106 days later! J

John and I reflect on my journey into keto over the past 3+ months, and look ahead on what I can expect next. We talk about what to do when the weight loss slows down, tips and tricks to stay motivated, and best practices to keep the pounds (hopefully) dropping off. Next we dive into intermittent fasting, breaking down 18:6 and 20:4 methods, and why those 2 hours really matter! Saving the best for last, we take a moment to give thanks and hope that we can continue to pay it forward to anyone out there who may be inspired by our journeys.

We are back and still talking about all things photography! So... during our little break, I bought a camera, kinda, and this week we’re breaking everything down. John and I discuss what camera and lens I purchased, what makes the most sense for a second lens, and some additional items that all photographers should plan to purchase. Here’s a hint: start saving your money now! And make sure to listen until the very end to get a glimpse at why I “kinda” bought a camera...

There are far more important things in the world today than John & I talking about cameras. So instead of asking you to give us 21 minutes of your time, we're going to ask that you give that time to these other podcasts:

Pod Save the People w/ DeRay (Crooked Media)
Higher Learning w/ Van Lathan & Rachel Lindsay (The Ringer)
What Matters (Black Lives Matter)
1619 (NY Times)
Black History in 2 Minutes (Be Woke Presents)

"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor." 
-Desmond Tutu

“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”
-Nelson Mandela

“It’s up to all of us — Black, white, everyone — no matter how well-meaning we think we might be, to do the honest, uncomfortable work of rooting it out.”
-Michelle Obama

With everything happening in our country today, everyone has an opportunity to start a conversation and ask questions with the intent to gain perspective and knowledge. Times like this bring to the foreground the undeniable fact the racism is not only a part of our past, but rather intertwined in our present. It lives in our homes, in our businesses, in our government, and in our society. 

We here at TwentyOnePod believe that it’s our responsibility to start our own conversation and to share it with you in hopes that it will inspire our listeners to do the same. This isn’t a time for decisiveness or debate. This is an opportunity for education, for knowledge, and for growth. This is the time to listen, empathize, learn, and move forward, together.

We would love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Reach out to us on social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) @TwentyOnePod, or send us an email at [email protected]. You can also visit us online at TwentyOnePod.com.

This is part 3 of our multi-part series where John and I discuss all things photography. If you haven’t listened to the first two parts yet, go back and listen to them first.

On this week’s episode, John and I dive into camera manufacturers, and John gives his Top 4 purchasing picks. We discuss Sony, Fuji, and Canon cameras, and even dive into a little bit of an education around f-stop aperture meaning. We wrap up this episode with John’s Top Pick, and his best recommendation for what setup to get, down to lens types and functions.
