Allegro Ma Non Troppo

Suicidal Empathy

In this episode I talk about suicidal empathy, the idea that western civilization has lost its will to survive. I reference a couple of books that are pertinent to the subject and hope you don't find things too depressing. There's a brief update on election primaries and a raft of headlines that should provide you with a laugh or two as we sink into the abyss. This episode's cultural recommendation is one of my favorite songs by the then progressive rock band, Genesis. As I am so very fond of dozens of their songs, you'll have to listen to find out which one I chose. Enjoy!

Laboratories of Democracy

In this episode I follow up from last week and discuss the deeper meaning of Memorial Day. Just what is that our servicemen and women sacrificed their lives for? I also touch on the Jaxson Dart situation and give it to the sports media, but good. My cultural recommendation this week is a sports movie. You'll have to listen to see which one. And there is a profusion of headlines that include college students, Texas hunters, Hunter Biden, Zohran Mamdani, carjackers, trigger happy dogs, and a French Open tennis player who really had to go. Enjoy!

Allegro Ma Non Troppo

As I lacked a bit of imagination this past week and couldn't think of a subject to discuss, I decided this would be a good time to get to your questions. On top of that are the usual legion of headlines including UFO's, a black history museum, Punjabi devils, looksmaxxing, Harvey Weinstein, Luigi Mangione fangirls, Meta employees and so much more. And to complete the podcast you'll get not one, but two cultural recommendations. Wishing you an enjoyable Memorial Day Weekend.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles

In this episode I share with you my experiences of my recent trip to Los Angeles. What transpired at airports, hotels and various modes of transportation. I also touch on friends and family. There is a collection of headlines to start the show and they include horny teachers, IKEA., Harvard scientists, Florida man, the Secret Service, Angelina Jolie, Charles Barkley and so much more. And my cultural recommendation this episode is my favorite podcast... no, not American Nuthouse (which is a close second), but the Adam Buxton podcast. Give it listen and enjoy!

And the World Keeps on Turning

In this episode I give you a rundown of the events that have taken place these past few weeks. The attempted assassination of the president, James Comey being indicted, the SPLC being indicted, Dr, David Morens being indicted and so on and so on and so on. Basically, catching up the events I neglected as the previous three episodes avoided politics. Yes, there are a cluster of headlines including birth tourism, malnourished sloths, congressional hearings, Public Enemy's 911 is a Joke, a Vermont farmer, Tupac's stepbrother (featuring your favorite rapper and mine), and so much more, And a movie recommendation. Some Kind of Monster... a documentary about Metallica as they were recording their St. Anger album. Enjoy!
