Rusty's Escape Pod

A Meaningful Existence - I aim to provoke thought on this matter for awe, wonder, and the hope that we focus more on positivity while leaving behind an accurate representation of ourselves for future generations.

Hello! This is the first in-person podcast after the past few months of being in a pandemic, so what better way to celebrate than with my two best friends?!?

I close with a mediocre optimus prime impression. I know, what a weird addit...

In this episode I talk to myself. Me and I discuss the current state of affairs with the COVID-19 virus and everything that's going on right now as of 6pm on March 23rd, 2020, which is crazy. Sprinkled with a little bit of politics here and there, you'll surely find things to agree and disagree with. Please be safe and be respectful out there! I mentioned a podcast with Dax Shephard and Sanjay Gup...

Since things are currently weird with the coronavirus stuff, I have to say that this was recorded a week prior to today's release, so there are already a couple of dated statements around the virus, but everything else is good to go!

This is another installment of my random solo podcasts that either have many subjects or can perhaps be more specific. This one is a bit more specific. I talk mostly about Greta Thunberg, the general discourse and polarization around climate change and the (lack of) information people use to solidify their opinions on very important issues. Have fun. Photo of Trump found on Google, but cannot loca...

(See links below) I've known Micah for several years and I'm sorry to say that this is probably the most I've ever talked with him! Honestly, Micah does most of the talking, and I'm totally okay with that. He talks a little a...

A quick podcast about some recent realizations and a weird experience I had through meditation recently.

Just gabbin' away at something I know nothing about... Political affiliations and electoral debates. Educate me. At one point I failed to remember the title of a PBS documentary I was referring to, which is called 'College Behind Bars'. Do check it out. (It streams free from their app/site)
