EP8-The Most Important Election Ever

EP 12: Abortion and Magic

EP 12 Abortion and Magic [https://thenewmercury.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/ep-12-Abortion-and-Magic-final.mp3]Download [https://thenewmercury.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/ep-12-Abortion-and-Magic-final.mp3] It’s been a long while since a topic has moved me to make a podcast, but the idiocy on full display on all sides concerning the matter of a woman’s inherent right to choose an abortion was getting too much to bear silently.

EP 11 – Immigration

https://thenewmercury.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Ep-11-Immigration.mp3 [https://thenewmercury.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Ep-11-Immigration.mp3] In this episode I take a look at the “invasion” of drug-war refugees marooned in Tijuana. Turns out that its very existence is a problem that the federal government of the USA itself created; just like every other problem Americans pointed to as being the biggest one facing the country in a recent Gallup poll. Also, at some point during the fourteenth minute, I inadvertently invent the word “imaginitary.” Or, actually, that might be a Rickyism [http://trailerpark.wikia.com/wiki/Rickyisms], though I can’t say for sure.

EP 10 – The New Mercury Thanksgiving Extravaganza

This then takes an odd segue into the writings of the Late Stoics, specifically Marcus Aurelius, and how mindful thankfulness was one of the many aspects of his philosophy. Happy Thanksgiving!

EP9 – Do You Know What Your Problem Is?

https://thenewmercury.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Ep9-Do-You-Know-What-Your-Problem-Is.mp3 [https://thenewmercury.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Ep9-Do-You-Know-What-Your-Problem-Is.mp3] In this episode I lead off with the not-all-that-bold-really assertion that the government itself is the single biggest problem any American person has; and, if not, is only making whatever is one’s biggest problem worse. It’s only twenty-two minutes long because I limited the number of examples cited to a handful, there are plenty more examples but only so many hours in a day. And, more to the point, only so much time anyone’s gonna wanna listen to me go on and on about something anyway. Enjoy!

It’s an analysis you aren’t likely to find in many other places. Probably for good reason; oh well, I hope you enjoy anyway!
