Parents, you need to (especially in this internet age) talk to your children about the issues that are hard to talk about. I know it's difficult but the things you don't teach your children, they will pick up second hand. The things you don't tell them, someone else will. In this Mini I tell about my experience doing this very thing, maybe a week ago.  To leave feedback: feedback@thegreatdivi...

Episode 2 of The Great Divide: Revisited has us revisiting the Two Chimps and an Elephant episode. I felt like I needed to explain the animals vs slaves paradox a little bit further. It was off topic for the point I was driving home about how I feel about animals but not long enough to do a whole show about. So hit me up and let me know what you think of this little gem.

  This quick first episode is meant to be an orientation to what Revisited is. Whenever there is a deep topic on the regular TGD show and I think about it and have more to add later, that is the purpose of TGD: Revisited.  We are dropping the first five episodes of revisited on the regular TGD feed but after the fifth, the rest will continue to go live on the TGD Premium feed as they (an...

Welcome to the first TGD (mini). TGD (mini) is everything that the regular TGD is but in bite sized pieces. So you will still get the same topics, punch, humor and rawness that comes with TGD but the mini episodes will be shorter. They are intended to keep you sane in between the regular shows. The first five minis are being posted to the regular feed, however, after the fifth episode you will hav...

Two chimps and an elephant walk into a bar and the bartender says... Shout out to all of the new TGD page followers. We just went from 136 to a stable 243 and so I just wanted to send a special shout out to all of you for your support. From the bottom of my heart – THANK YOU!

This is a quick mini episode that we are testing on the feed, as TGD-Minis will get their own show under the new model. Presently there is a lot of migrating feeds and other administration going on in the background in preparation for the new model. This is just one of those tests to make sure everything is working accurately. The clip you are listening to can be heard on an earlier full episode o...

 As I was taking an afternoon walk I began to reflect on my time in the Pacific Northwest and realized in two months I will be coming up on 10 years living in Oregon. This is one of the longer shows I have recorded and is basically a series of short episodes I have had in this area since I’ve been here. Towards the end I have an unexpected guest that actually had me cut my thoughts short, so...

 As much as I love the internet, I also hate it. I am fascinated by it, and afraid of it at the same time. That is part of the reason why I chose to study it post-secondary.  However, the way my studies have gone, they connect mostly at the social angle of technology. I am pursuing a law degree with an emphasis on three areas: criminal, civil rights and technology. In preparing for law s...

It is Memorial Day weekend and reflection on our heroes, lost and fallen, made me realize that while we take today to honor those who were lost and fallen in battle that many of our soldiers come home with bits and pieces of them dead. They might not’ve lost their lives but many come back having lost something, and in a lot of cases, something significant. A small way to help our vets while helpin...
