Welcome to the Blip Report's Interview Series!

#10: DALI, DREAMS, & DEPRIVATION

Salvador Dali was a firm believer in the power of sleep and micro naps. He once said, “When we are asleep in this world, we are awake in another.” What about the 70% of high school and college students today that are sleep deprived Dali? They might very well be asleep in this world, but, I think they are probably napping in the other one. Let’s talk about it.  CREDITS: Produced and hosted by: John Money Theme music by: Josh Money [https://www.josh.money/] The Blip Report with John Money podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcast, and other streaming platforms.

#8: TEENS, TRANSPORTATION, & TRAGEDY

In a memo last week, two representatives from Pennsylvania, one republican and one democrat, created a proposal to lower the driving age to 15, under the pretense of age discrimination and extending job opportunities. America, hear me when I say, this has nothing to do with age and opportunities and has everything to do with an old system vs a new one, let’s talk about it.  CREDITS: Produced and hosted by: John Money Theme music by: Josh Money [https://www.josh.money/] The Blip Report with John Money podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcast, and other streaming platforms.
