He then has a brief meditation session where he becomes the instructor and gives a little homework to meditate better. He also talks a little bit about Podcoin. Once again, he is podcasting outdoors in natu...

Host Chris Wright is at it again with another episode of "Podcasting in Nature." The sound quality is much better as he has found a way to drastically reduce the wind noise with a simple DIY (do-it-yourself) fix. He talks about memes, a new podcasting app (the Podcoin app), social media, mental illness, and nature. He also reads from some historical events from this day in history as well as some...

He also discusses some thi...

They also watch some classic adv...

Co-hosts Chris Wright and Graeson Korte are back at it with another episode. Graeson was on time for the first time in a while which was a little off-putting. They handle heavy topics such as what a sport is, whether "e-sports" are sports, and whether the new Star Wars movies are any good. Chris' new fish "Bob Newhart" died because his older fish "Lenny Bruce" was a little too dominant. Graeson go...

Co-hosts Chris Wright and Graeson Korte have possibly their most fun-filled episodes ever. Graeson was late thought, but it didn't matter. We were joined by two surprise guests, Tina O' Malley, and Justin Amaker. We play a couple of fun games plus we sing some great songs. We pay homage to the great and powerful god, Harambe, in Elon Musk's latest song "RIP Harambe". Fish and different accents in...

Graeson has his longest and most intolerable speech about Halo (and the future of the franchise) yet and Chris tries to lighten it up with more light-hearted discussion. Chris tries talking about extremely old video games (Pong, Winky Dink), and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (as opposed to Obsessive-Co...

Co-hosts Chris Wright and Graeson Korte have got a banger of an episode this week. Graeson was late and unfortunately missed the bitching introduction of the show that Chris commenced.

Graeson rants about Apple and virtual reality. Chris bri...

Co-hosts Chris Wright and Graeson Korte explore some new topics in this episode. Chris presents arguments both for and against free will (as Graeson ignored him and did "more important" things in the background). The two also celebrate International Women's day. Chris was going to read a few lines from the "Vagina Monologues," but Graeson thought that would be a bad idea. Chris also thought of a g...

(Answer: yes) What is the least funny country? (Answer: inconclusive but the poll done on it was completely wrong) What is the proper way to pronounce "coupon". Graeson decided that his prior time commit...

Host Chris Wright has to single-handedly host this episode because Graeson Korte was unable to make it because he was "busy". Chris goes into a whole lot of issues such as recent MMA news, and a couple of TV shows. Some news issues are covered including Belarus possible merging with Russia, Brexit, and the European. Out of fairness, he tried to show both sides of the issues. He also was required t...

Co-hosts Chris Wright and Graeson Korte once again bring on Michael House as a guest to help facilitate the show along and keep it running smoothly (well, smoothly for Point Counterpoint).  Please excuse some of the strange noises, there were some technical difficulties. Chris worked tirelessly to optimize the sound quality which was originally dreadful. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? What tattoos would...

As usual, muting the mics is commonplace with loads of aggress...
