About Friends In Wonder

Friends in Wonder is a podcast co-hosted by Vince Kern and Joe Luther, two lifelong friends who were born at the tail end of the classic "baby boomer generation.” Since they were curious grade-schoolers walking their dogs late at night, their conversations always delved into a vast array of topics through the lens of wonder and awe. They have maintained this journey throughout their varied professional careers during the technical revolution and friendship spanning over five decades. Listen as they explore a wide range of topics through their soulfully connected adventures in self-growth by asking the question; “How does this help?”

On the RFK Jr. Campaign Trail in Michigan

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1996740/open_sms] Do you ever wonder how media and corporate interests shape our political landscape? Join us on this special edition of the Friends in Wonder podcast as Vince Kern and Joe Luther reconnect to delve into Joe's passionate involvement in the Kennedy campaign in Michigan. Joe, an attorney with a rich background in political science, shares his motivations and experiences as a volunteer coordinator, underscoring his belief in the candidate’s integrity and dedication to transparent political discourse. We'll uncover the grassroots efforts that shaped his year-long journey and discuss the challenges and triumphs he faced along the way. Explore the pervasive influence of media corporations on public discourse and political division. Our discussion examines how profit-driven media companies manipulate public perception and foster conflict, making it difficult for people to see the larger forces at play. Joe provides a unique perspective on generational differences in media consumption, noting the younger generation's savvy navigation of the complex media landscape.  We also tackle the challenges faced by third-party candidates like Mr. Kennedy, who strive to bring genuine grassroots movements into the political arena. Learn about the concept of "corporate capture" and the importance of seeking diverse sources of information. This episode highlights the significance of community involvement and personal responsibility in political engagement, urging listeners to take an active role in shaping the nation’s future.

SEASON 1 FINALE: Let the Fireworks Begin!

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1996740/open_sms] Following an unexpected break after a raucous Season 1 wrap-party lasting three days and causing them to miss last week’s show, The Friends In Wonder crew have been released on bail.  While their sentence was reduced to community service because the judge and jury loved the podcast and wanted them out for a second season, FIW was ordered to take a break and develop even more and better shows.  Never ones to run afoul of the law before, Joe and Vince humbly accepted the sentence without appeal. So, this much anticipated episode is a thank you and goodbye – for now – packed with the twists and turns of Season 1 and a finish you won't want to miss.  We welcome, value and appreciate all feedback.

Publishing Your Passion: How to Share the Art That’s Inside You

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1996740/open_sms] Have people told you "You should write a book," or "You should publish your art?" Is that little voice inside you asking the same question? Do you just need that final inspiration and guidance to share your gift with the Universe?  Even if you don’t have a “book inside of you,” you’ll be inspired by Donna Zetterlund’s adventure as she balanced her art and work life to become a self-publisher. You'll be uplifted and connected to the innate human desire to share our gifts.  Join us, as we interview Donna and hear her story about how she went from a child newspaper creator to an artist, media director and self-publisher of three books of children's stories and poetry.  She's even created a “how-to” guide (available on request at talk@friendsinwonder.com [talk@friendsinwonder.com] ) that will outline the process of self-publishing because she's passionate about helping others achieve their dream.  We welcome, value and appreciate all feedback.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
