Whenever there's rain in Austin TX, host Morgan Booksh heads outside and records an episode! Like the rain, they are a fleeting nourishment; they fall sporadically and you never know exactly what they'll bring! The range of topics varies from solitary reflections on life and all its heavy questions to just joking around about the preposterous state of this, that and the other. Sometimes a friend or fellow conversationalist will be around when it starts to rain as guest host for that Rainstorm's Brainstorm! Next time you hear the thunder start to wonder; 'what will he talk about now?'

    “Currents of Crypto” - Asset Rain

    Morgan, who knows that weather isn’t only used to describe ecosystems, takes a rare recording absent of natural rain to talk about the current rain of asset growth occurring on crypto-currency markets. He gives a beginners explanation of the differences between decentralized cryptocurrency financial institutions and centralized banks. He hopes to assuage fears in the minds of older investors more accustomed to banking and engender excitement amongst younger generations towards the potential of blockchain powered credit systems that Bitcoin represents. He uses an in-app incentive system to demonstrate the differences in how financial institutions empower or disenfranchise consumers and investors.

    "Post Truth; Uncouth” - Discontented in the Winter of 2020; [Rainstorm Brainstorm, Episode 10] Time: 3am Condition: Clear, Moonlit, 40 degrees Location: (Austin, TX) Guests: none [Topic:] Exploring U.S. 2020 presidential election credibility as a demonstration of how fact and framing interact in the era of social media. Narrative Abstraction: Engagement-driven algorithmic media-marketing has led us to a spot where truth is harder than ever to objectify. // Eschewing the comforting patter of droplets on grass, Morgan ventures out into the woods near his house to engage in a Yuletide ritual with the Moon and its somber reflections. Once situated he discusses bothersome habit our culture has developed of DIS-engaging in RESEARCH and OVER-engaging in ASSUMPTION, and outlines a first step towards preserving discourse in the current political and economic climate. As a case study, he offers the topic of election credibility in the U.S. Somewhere a crow flies east as a thunderhead forms. //END E10 /references from cast -Bad Faith Podcast w/ Brianna Joy Gray & Virgil Texas: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bad-faith/id1531192509 -Common Sense w/ Dan Carlin: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/common-sense-with-dan-carlin/id155974141

As he watches the droplets plummet and puddle he ponders on how surrealism and artistic expression can give insight into the teachings of Zen Buddhism, and vice versa. As a remedy to existential angst he indulges in this whimsy with gusto. He thinks he feels a song coming on..." END E04
