Come along as we vent our spleens about events of the day. We'll discuss subjects as diverse as why Brexit caused a fuel shortage in Lebanon. Which politician could best serve their countries by retiring? Why 9mm versus .45 ACP is the wrong question. How, after 116 years of business, Harley Davidson has only just started making decent motorcycles? Electricity is cool but are batteries really the future? Do women even like men anymore? In truth we're just 3 people with disparate backgrounds and experience trying, in good faith, to use those differences to make sense of this mad mad mad world

Gun Control Episode 3. Have you hugged your rifle today? 01.08.2022 3:23:20

In this episode we try to conclude our series on gun control and it's effects.  It went longer than any of us expected and as always is full of digression.  Also it got a little more sweary than normal.  Steve yells at Trent. Paddy names people he'd rather were Prime Minister in iambic pentameter.  Trent expresses his disdain for Jordan Peterson's most frequent podcast guest. L...

Gun Control Episode 2.1 28.07.2022 1:12:12

Welcome to our second episode on Gun Control.  Due to some time constraints we didn't get all the way through the material we wanted to cover, so there will be at least one more episode on this topic.  Sorry for stringing you along like this.  In this pod we back track a bit to cover why Paddy and I think that the Government in Canada is acting in bad faith with regards to gun contr...

Gun Control Part 1 11.07.2022 2:10:10

Today we take our first crack at gun control.  We try to focus on the 1st and 2nd order effects of gun control, while our next episode will attempt to take a crack at 3rd and 4th order effects.  Break out your aluminum foil hats for that one. As always if you have any questions or comments, please direct them to complicatedpod@gmail.com   Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!)...

Is Good Faith Dead? 20.06.2022 1:43:06

Today we take on Good Faith. The three of us certainly agree that there's a real lack of it in public discourse. The proper functioning of our western liberal democracies and indeed our societies, seem to depend on good faith to continue functioning in good order.  What does the death of good faith mean for us going forward?  Will we be able to function as free societies if good faith is...

The Glossary Episode 16.05.2022 2:01:13

Thanks for tuning into Episode 2 of Radio Free Ortona.  In this episode, we try to come to agreement on terminology, so we can communicate more clearly with each other in conversations going forward. Then we digress to CEO compensation. Trust me, it's not nearly as dry as it sounds. Please send your comments to complicatedpod@gmail.com Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): http:/...

What The Hell Is Wrong With Higher Education 17.04.2022 1:47:49

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Radio Free Ortona. We're 3 people with some stuff in common and some stuff that gives us different perspectives, which is why there's 3 of us instead of 1 of us. We know that the sense making infrastructure is broken, and 3 middle aged bald assholes aren't going to fix it. But maybe we can, in our own small way, contribute to helping everyone try to make sens...
