July 15, 2012 Show#70 -07/15/12- Neil Ellwood Interview
I'm back again for what is turning out to be a once yearly podcast. How did I ever do this weekly back in 2005? Today's interview is with Neil Ellwood, age 22. He grew up all over Canada and is a smart young man who is a fan of the show, and has thought about the questions. I love talking to young adults, as they always make me ponder if I lost the fresh view of life!

April 12, 2010 Show #67 -04/11/2010- Creativity vs. Hormones, Who am I really?
After another long haitus, more surgery, I suddenly pop back in with a new show.
No guest, just something that has been preying on my mind over the last year.
I ask a lot of questions around Creativity, and if it is caused by our hormones only and what do you do when they go away? Can you still be creative? I ask the listeners to send me email or audio on their ideas on the subject. I really am looking for the answer to this one, so I hope you all participate!
My email address is:
[email protected]

Gmail takes files up to about 20Mb, so if you record audio - send it to me at 64 or 96 kbps, and if it is too big, break it up into a couple of emails. Otherwise send me an email on your ideas and I'll read it on a follow up show to this one. Thanks everyone! I hope to hear from you!

July 19, 2008 Show #65-07/19/2008- Mikko Interview and 3rd Anniversary Show!
Welcome to the 3rd Anniversary show of Uncomfortable Questions!
This is a very fun interview with a guest from Finland. I loved doing this one. I talk to Mikko, age 31 -
Transhumanist, do-gooder and Asshole.

He is delightfully cheeky, and a deep thinker. Some of the concepts he
presents are not immediately intuitive, so he sent me a link to a 1 page paper he wrote on his philosophy.
Please read it, it is funny and makes things a lot clearer. Get it at: http://mjr.iki.fi/texts/lue

The link Mikko mentions on the show for the Singularity Institute is at:
http://www.singinst.org

Also a link to more information on Transhumanism - http://www.transhumanism.org

June 15, 2008 Show #64 -06/15/08- Late to the Universe and other musings
I'm back! This is a short show, to get me back on track after surgery, and
too much life in general.

A listener sent me in a 10 minute piece for her own podcast that was her
answer to the "What Is the Universe?" show that I did a few months ago.
Check her out at www.braindouche.net.

I included her piece and also went on with some musings of my own on
"Is Life Fair - And Should It Be?".

Send me your own thoughts or comments at [email protected] (if you want to send a sound file, use this one - it can handle upwards of 20MB files - or you can send mail also to : [email protected].

Next show is my 3rd Anniversary show, and I hope to bring you something really special.

April 13, 2008 Show #63 -05/13/2008- Dan L. Interview
This turned out to be a very different show. I interview Dan L.,
age 62, a free thinker from Texas. He was a career military man, and
I was interested to hear about life from him, as I have little contact
with that world.

He was unsurprisingly quite the realist, but did surprise me with the
depth to which he believed in empowering people and elevating humanity.

There is a lot of talk of politics, which I try to avoid, but it tied in so much
with the views of how governments should use the military, so I left it all in.
Take it as another world view, whether you agree with it or not!

March 02, 2008 Show #62 -03/02/08- Christy Interview
Today we go back to the traditional interview format, and talk
to Christy, age 25 - A free spirited Engineer.

Sorry this one is so late - I collided with the nasty flu going around
that the flu shot doesn't protect you against. Followed by another
cold - 4th one this winter. Do I get a prize for collecting them all?!!

January 28, 2008 Show #61 -01/27/08- Exploring and Transcending the Me
This is a non-traditional single question show. I got only 3 answers on last months question to the audience:
If we are here for a reason, are we here to explore the me, or
transcend the me?

The ones who braved the question were:
- Big Phil, from show #36 - of Big Phil's Love Parade
- Graviton Ring, show #48
- Christy - (a guest of my roommate who was wandering through the house. Yes I will go to any lengths to get answers - no one is safe!).

As always, email me at:
[email protected]

Next month we will have a full traditional interview with my new found victim, Christy!
