Weary from that dreadful commute to work? Need a break from that mundane pile of garbage you know as reality? Perhaps you’re seconds away from rearranging your co-worker’s face for incessantly talking about election fraud, yet you’re just not ready to face the charge? We know what you’re thinking, life shouldn’t be this monotonous? Well, Boredom be damned! We’ll be your attention vaccine! Quell your dull and lackluster existence by listening to an episode of The Slayers of Boredom podcast! News, social and cultural issues, obscure history, and music are just the tip of the ice burg within our coherent rants. We’ll keep you up to date on our preferred stories in the media, deep dives on historical events, and we’ll tackle social and cultural topics with factual information. Locally, in Harrisburg, Pa, we also hope to bring some attention to a variety of hometown artists involved in our music and arts community, while opining on our personal pillars of music, TV, and film. Your brain is pleading for relief and we are here to proclaim, ”Boredom will be slayed, on the airwaves!”

    We compare the economic plans of Harris and Trump, as well as go over Trump's relationship with Netanyahu and how he won't do anything but make the situation in Palestine and the greater Middle East much, much worse.  Don't throw away your vote on the Green party; hear us out on why...

    S3 Episode 2 : Terrorist attack in Moscow, Aaron Bushnell, Einstein Academy philanthropy, Boeing Whistleblower, Haiti

    We catch up a bit on media we've enjoyed during the hiatus, then we jump into the attack on Moscow, the Einstein Academy's billion dollar donation which will result in free tuition for every student accepted there in the future, the self-immolation of Aaron Bushnell in protest of the genocide taking place in Palestine at the hands of Netanyahu and the US taxpayer funded IDF, the extremely suspicious "suicide" of a Boeing whistleblower, and a brief discussion of the crisis in Haiti, among a few other topics.  Strap in!

    S3 Episode 1 : Artificial Intelligence : The good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful

    Sean did a deep dive on AI, where the technology is now, where it's going, and how long it'll take.  The good side pertains to medicine and climate change.  The bad pertains to education and the violent nature of humans which, until AI is self-aware, will have influence on the technology.  Will it lead to the dumbing down of society?  Will it be the new cliff's notes of the younger generation?  At the same time, could it benefit future students by fine-tuning their learning capabilities and focusing on a self-tailored curriculum?  You decide...

    S2 Episode 8 Season Finale : The conflict in Palestine and Israel, part 2

    We address some statements from the first part now, that new information has come to light, and we continue the conversation on the horror taking place in Gaza which has now taken nearly 20,000 lives with almost 8,000 of them being children.

    S2 Episode 7 : The conflict in Palestine and Israel

    We spend an entire episode diving in to the recent attack on Israel by the terrorist group known as Hamas and the less-than-stellar response from the IDF so far.  As of this writing the IDF has killed more than double the amount of victims that Hamas left in their wake over a week ago.  Playing the numbers game with civilian casualties doesn't do anything justice, and that certainly doesn't absolve the atrocities committed by Hamas in the least.  Our main goal is to go over some history of the region, and spread awareness for our listeners in regards to who is suffering in this conflict : civilians.  We consider both the IDF and Hamas to be terrorists, but it's important to distinguish their methods, intentions, and distinctions as far as funding, battle-readiness, and ideologies.  There is no good vs evil in our opinion unless you're standing up for civilians.  Killing civilians on either side is evil and it shouldn't be hard to understand.  There is too much nuance involved in this topic that, like many conflicts in this world, cannot be summed up in black and white terms.  We may be naive in our idealism at times, but make no mistake, we are humanitarians above all else.  Killing people for land, religion, idealogy, is absurd.  Having said that, we try to understand the psyche of an individual growing up in that region.  We mention many times that we would kill anyone that hurt our children, but what drives a person to hurt a child in the first place.  The answer is not so simple, but can be explained in simple terms: love begets love, violence begets violence, hate begets hate.  The world needs to help these regions with love and aid, not weapons and bombing campaigns.  At the very least, that's a good place to start...

    S2 Episode 6 : Maui fires, Trump mugshot, the dichotomy of Oliver Anthony, Prigozhin plane crash

    We discuss the inaction that we feel led to more death in Maui, and how the disgusting practice of disaster profiteering is being implemented and thrust upon a mourning community of people.  We have some good laughs about the Trump mugshot, why that man is milking it for all its worth, and why you shouldn't fall for his latest grift.  We follow up with the interesting dichotomy of Oliver Anthony and how he is one of the most naive and completely out-of-touch internet sensations in recent memory.  Lastly, we discuss the alleged murder of Putin's former chef, Wagner Group leader and oligarch Evgeny Prigozhin, and what we feel is in store for Putin as a result.  Enjoy!

    S2 Episode 5 : Florida insurance crisis, the despicable Jason Aldean, hottest temps the worlds has ever seen, dangerous 3rd party presidential candidates and more...

    We go over the insolvency of many insurance companies in Florida and why the rest are leaving the state.  We also discuss the deplorable, cowardly, and outright hypocritical Jason Aldean and his tone-deaf crappy new song.  The world has seen its hottest days ever and how the rich will continue to ignore the problem until it (hopefully) affects them.  We also touch on a couple of potential third party dem candidates who, if they run, will undoubtedly seal a victory for the GOP and plunge us deeper into the regressive hole our democracy is so desperately trying to crawl out of...scary times, folks.  Stay safe, take care of your loved ones and your neighbor.
