The life and death of my friend Diego Fresco;
Some suggestions for taking advantage of COVID;

ROMA 42 (Meteor Impact)
Hear that? That's the sound of shit hitting the fan. In this episode (not for the faint of heart), I trace current events back to the marriage of modern advertising and politics in the 1980s and the fragmentation of media. We're in for a wild ride, folks. It's just beginning.

Anya Kaats and Erin Ginder-Shaw (Whore Rapport Podcast)
Anya and Erin are two of my all-time favorite people. Whore Rapport is their podcast, where they explore and discuss a version of sexuality that is healthy, strong, and aware, by "delving into topics such as gender, orientation, intimacy, and power without pathologizing desire, victimizing femininity, or demonizing masculinity."

My favorite podcast
Always there when I need you most in my life...
I’ll tune back in
When a guy who spends most of his time in a van and in the woods keeps his political views to himself.
The ego, man
As his listenership grows, his confirmation bias grows, as his confirmation bias grows his ego grows, as his ego grows, his certainty grows... you can se where this is going. Go back to the post-modernist enclave from which you have dragged yourself Dr. (Phd) Ryan, stop gloating to your donating listeners that you do not have a job, we know, we used to listen to you at work.
