    Turning Down The Noise On The NY Trial of Donald Trump w/ Attorney & Writer Em Carpenter

    Your Heard Tell Show is turning down the noise and getting to the information we need by talking to our good friend, attorney, and Senior Editor at Ordinary-Times.com about the start of the New York trial of Donald Trump, how NOT to follow the trial, how celebrity trials are just different, understanding factors that might affect the vedict, seperating good coverage from bad coverage, importance of a jury trial, why even calling it a "hush money" trial already sets a narrative and perspective, and insight into how criminal proceedings go.

    The GOP Primary Isn't Over, It Never Was; Personal Update; Uvalde Report; Iran; Elevator Talk & more

    Your Heard Tell Show for January 18th, 2024 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by talking about the GOP primary not being over, because it was never a primary in anything but name in the first place as Donald Trump crushes in Iowa and is cruising to the Republican presidential nomination. We update folks on why there hasn't been a Heard Tell in a while, what it means, and how things might be a bit different for a while as we try to continue with the program. Then we talk about the DOJ's released Uvalde report and how the lessons that need to be learned had better be, and that only happens with public pressure and accountability. We go overseas where Iran is making all sorts of enemies and now has picked a fight with Pakistan on top of everything else. Finally, we talk elevator conversations, and the stupid things we say in public places to avoid actual conversations.

    Aliens, UAPs vs UFOs, AI, and Executive Orders, Oh My, w/guest Yael Ossowski

    Aliens, UAPs vs UFOs, AI, and Executive Orders, Oh My, w/guest Yael Ossowski

    On this Heard Tell Good Talks, our guest is returning friend of the program and Deputy Director of the Consumer Choice Center Yaël Ossowski who hashes out aliens - or at least the new nomenclature of UAPs as opposed to UFOs - with a skeptical host Andrew, why the US government is doing some different and interesting things in this field, how other worldwide governments are responding, what we should and should not worry about in the skies above us, and how this all comes down to funding like all things do. Plus, Yael talks about information security, privacy, and what is likely to be the never ending struggle between confidentiality, personal information, and the booming market to monetize both for both the government and private sectors. Also, we talk a bit about AI and the latest Executive Order from the Biden Administration and Yael's latest writings on how regulating something that isn't even properly understood will have vast implications going forward.

    Grown Folk Talk About Career Path, Finances, Retirement, Influencer Culture, Social Security, & more

    Grown Folk Talk About Career Path, Finances, Retirement, Influencer Culture, Social Security, & more

    On this Heard Tell Good Talks, our guest is John McCumber, who returns to Heard Tell to talk about the current discourse over financial planning, careers, and retirement from the POV of someone who did the "sell everything and move to Florida" thing after several successful careers. John not only was part of the more than 4 million folks that retired and dropped out of the workforce during COVID, but is also part of the millions who have returned to it part-time or with side hustles. John and host Andrew talk about how the news media coverage and the rise of "influencer" online are skewing and doing a disservice to folks trying to make life plans and decisions, why you have to hustle in your 20s and 30s to enjoy your 60s and beyond, grown folk talk about Social Security and the "safety net," why acquiring skill sets is more important than just getting credentials, and sharing life experiences that can translate to better decision making for the future.

    Reviewing GOP Presidential Debate, Micro Nuclear Reactors, Discussing Factions in Conservatism & more

    Your Heard Tell Show for Thursday, November 9th, 2023 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by talking about the 3rd GOP presidential primary debate as host Andrew reviews the five candidates, what they said, how they behaved, watching the debate with a teenager, and what it all means as Iowa draws near. Our friend Sarah Montalbano of the Alaska Policy Forum returns to Heard Tell to talk the huge potential of small and "micro" nuclear reactors, energy policy, environmental discourse, and how hopes for a bright green future still need to be rooted in practical applications folks can get behind and support. Then, we welcome in Shakira Jackson of Young Voices and CFACT to talk the factions and infighting within conservative circles, role social media plays in political infighting, how "freedom conservatives" differ from the MAGA/"new right" drift of recent years, and how to use history properly in discerning and understanding current events, politics, policy, and the personalities that are driving them.

    Using '23 Elections to Prep for '24; SAFER Banking/Cannabis; DeSantis Boot Scootin' Politics & more

    Your Heard Tell Show for Thursday, November 2nd, 2023 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by talking about how we can use the 2023 election results - and more specifically the coverage there of - to calibrate our news media and social media intact leading up to the 2024 election. Sarah Anderson of R Street Institute returns to Heard Tell talks about her piece in Reason about the SAFER Banker Act and how the devil is in the details with not just legal cannabis, but for the mess ball of federal and state laws and regulation that have to adapt to new laws like marijuana legalization. Host Andrew then talks about how to keep perspective on post-election coverage and analysis, and how while elections keep coming one after the other we can all change our situational awareness of them. Then, Garion Frankel of Young Voices returns to take up the inane online debate between the Trump folks and Ron DeSantis supporters over the Florida governor's boots, lifted or otherwise, and why this is a great microcosm of a lot that is wrong not only with political coverage, but with political followers who eat this sort of nonsense up. We end on a good note, with cans of food being works of art as well as feeding the needy.

FAMJRPE ,

My Favorite Podcast

I really enjoy the opening monologue that Andrew does. Don’t always agree, but it causes me to consider.

This is a great show. It’s relevant, personal, and deeply informative. It’s my go-to show with my morning coffee

Trainedmoose ,

Great podcast

Great to listen to for down to earth discussion. Love the lighthearted end segments.

Omac247 ,

Podcast for grownups.

Andrew and his crew bring on guests that not only know what their talking about, but are able to “turn down the noise” as Andrew says that has the tendency to drown out those that know and understand and replace them with vitriol and sound bites. Neither a Jacobean Revolutionary nor a rabid cult follower, Andrew brings a refreshing down the middle appeal to the podcast and allows the facts of the topic to stand on their merits. Give it a listen, you won’t be disappointed.
