On this episode of DragonKing Dark, host Karl Stern continues his look at the social issues plaguing the world, in particular the United States, and this episode looks at lies. The lies we are being told by the media both right and left. The lies we are being told by politicians of both sides. The lies we are learning on social media from fake people and propaganda. And the lies we are telling each other and believing because we don't know any better.

Episode 52 of the When It Was Cool Podcast is back as Karl and Tonya discuss a variety of pop culture topics this week including the anniversary of the death of Michael Jackson, Don Henley and The End of Innocence album, Paul Simon farewell tour, Helen Keller, listener feedback, Boston, and why do people irrationally hate late 1970s and early 1980s mainstream classic rock music? All this plus more retro pop culture talk.

A favorite topic of the DragonKing Dark Podcast and host Karl Stern is fear. What are we afraid of and why? We have done shows about this in the past but it seem relevant again with all the social unrest and division in the world and it is our contention that much of it is driven on fear, in particular, keeping you and me afraid. This week on DragonKing Dark we talk about the fear that is driving society and how not to fall prey to it.
