Millennial Shelter

Let’s get ready to have our lunch money stolen, because we’re talking Kpop and Anime. For our fourth episode, I wanted to examine why eastern media has recently exploded in popularity within the west.Joining us for this topic is Kpop scholar Shannon Locke, who reveals some differences in eastern vs western stardom. Then, writer Cody Ziglar discusses the moral code of Dragon Ball Z, and dissects coming-of-age stories written in Japan. Lastly, I take a deep dive on why falling into the rabbit hole of another culture can feel so good. Plus, how it can actually smooth out differences between you and the community around you.Act One (1:36) || Act Two (31:25) || Act 3 (1:01:08)Our art was done by Jaya Nicely (www.jayanicely.com) and our intro music was mixed by Wade Ryan (Gold Sedan on Spotify).

Stopping to smell the roses doesn't get you passive income--so why do it? For our third episode, I wanted to examine our relationship with work. Why are we always thinking about it, and why are we so prone to feeling burnt out? Joining us for this topic is author Eliza Clark, who reveals whether or not her enjoyment of writing changed once it became a job rather than a hobby. Then, Nick Wiger discusses his relationship with fast food, as his hit podcast Doughboys has reviewed over 300 chain restaurants at this point. Lastly, I take a deep dive into modern work culture, and whether or not a dream job actually exists.

Treat others how you want to be treated, unless you’re on the internet. For our second episode, we talk about a topic that's difficult to avoid nowadays: online arguments. We're joined by author Dana Schwartz to discuss how a tweet about South Park went out of hand. Then, TV writer and podcast host Andrew Ti reveals his thoughts on who an internet argument is really for. Lastly, we take a deep dive and try to answer the question--is it possible to change someone's opinion online?Act One (1:18) || Act Two (25:32) || Act 3 (52:12)Our art was done by Jaya Nicely (www.jayanicely.com) and our intro music was mixed by Wade Ryan (Gold Sedan on Spotify).
