Urban Teaspoon

The recent shooting and student response protests have brought up some old and new thoughts about my personal experiences protesting as a high school student and the law. This episode contains a lot of hearsay and is not the result of research but the experiences lived through and stories shared by alums of the school. In order to keep within the ten minute constraint set for each episode a lot had to be left out including some comments on the racial, ethnic, and socio-economic diversity of the school which was a considerable range during my personal tenure. There could still be clear distinctions and social divisions between groups (athletes, theatre kids, South Asians, African Americans, etc.) despite friend circles that did not adhere to these categories.

Have you ever been so angry that you felt your core temperature rise? Not just a degree or two, but almost like the fury of your rage was cooking you from the inside over the course of an hour or two? Welcome to a rage fever.

In case you missed it, I like podcasts. Lore never has back episodes I have to catch up on, if you know what I mean.

Neither Aaron Mahnke nor anyone connect to Lore (podcast, book series, or television show) has contributed to my financial or material gain. That said, here is a link to the webpage so you can check it out for yourself: http://www.lorepodcast.com/

A lot can happen on the drive home. This episode contains real emotions and touches upon anxiety and some aspects of PTSD connected to motor vehicular collisions.

Episode 3 (Partnership and Who’s the Boss?)

Not about the TV show (though Judith Light is always worth it), but about a text conversation and who does the dishes.

Here are some images of the text conversation (yes, they are from the perspective of my friend. I delete things; it happens.): [If images do not appear please go to UrbanTeaspoon.com and visit Episode 3 (https://www.urbanteaspoon.com/episode-3/).]

Teachers develop superpowers (even though they are still just regular humans) that can lead classroom conversations through a list of topics in just a few minutes.

This is the first go on what this podcast would be and why. A brief, crackly, look at the beginning.
