On Conversation Ep.23

Welcome back to Season 2.  On this episode Dr. Brad and the legend was philosophic-ish on the idea of "Insta-perfect" aesthetic and the homogenization of trends and styles in light of social media.  Later in the show Dave Chapelle's newest comedy special, The Closer, is discussed; and Keith demonstrates his cool analog gadgets.

Welcome back for Season 2!  It'll be a bit choppy this time around as Dr. Brad is back to class and The Legend continues to do what he does best: nothing. On this too quick episode, we discuss litter in a our local community of Emerald Isle, NC.  And, invariably, we tumble into politics.  

Today's episode find the dynamic duo of Brad and Keith discussing the limits of technology through metaphors with sound.  Exciting, no?  Join us as we get out there discussing the limitlessness and timelessness of art and sound.  Later in the show the duo discuss music and art they do and don't like.  And, finally, Keith ends up skating on the thinest of ice as he critiques the critique of Woodstock '99.

On this episode of On Conversation we discuss education.  At least, we try to.  Sadly, we get caught, as many do, in the politics of education.  What are the pros and cons of education?  What is the future of education?  Can education ever be apolitical?  Find out as we kick it around.

 On this episode we discuss the politics surrounding election fraud: from 2016 on there has been a growing distrust of the voting system and Brad and Joe are itching to debate.  Later we discuss drug humor or the lack of it and our most recent novel experiences.

Happy 4th of July!  This week Brad and I begin with a discussion of the miscellaneous debris floating around where I grind my axe.  Later, when Joey joins in we discuss Universal Basic Income (U.B.I) and how it applies to America now.

We're back! This week we discuss CRT.  What is CRT?  Critical Race Theory... and it's a doozy.  Join us as Brad and Joey get into one heck of an argument about academia and me try to get a word in and fail.  Several times.  Later in the episode we discuss my road trip to Ohio through West Virginia.

This week we discuss what constitutes a productive use of time.  The war of generations is predicated upon the newest generation being lazier and not engaging in meaningful activity.  Is that so?  Join us and find out.

Don't miss out on our existential special.  Joey takes the day out while The Legend and Dr. Brad discuss living your life according to your beliefs or values.  What's the difference, how are they formed and what do they mean for us in today's world?  Find out.  Also, there is a goody-gum-drop for anyone who sticks around long enough in this episode.

Happy Memorial Day from us here at On Conversation to you and yours.  THANK YOU to our current service members and our Veterans for all they have given. On this week's episode we discuss Henry VIII.  Strangely enough, from this point we leap into a much wider and deeper discussion about how our current socio-political society is built and what we may see in the future.
