    Episode 199 - Two Gen Xers Talk About Zoomers & Millennials

    What takes us older folks time to get our heads around is second nature to the younger generations. Instead of worrying about whether climate change is real, they’re devoting their lives to fixing it.

    Episode 198 - Not Being a Misery Guts

    We often end up taking turns being grumpy at work or in our relationships. Sometimes it doesn’t feel fair to have to bring the energy. Sometimes all we want to do is throw a temper tantrum or sulk. How can we deal with this better, and how do we help others to recognise our own emotional labour?

    Episode 197 - Prematurely Dismissing People

    It’s all too easy to dismiss people these days but this wasn’t always possible. Subjects that can be skirted face-to-face come to the fore on social media. We talk about strategies for dealing with people who give us those red flags. Sometimes they deserve a second chance.  OUR NEW PODCAST! https://canyouseemyscreenpodcast.com  Streamed Live on https://twitch.tv/michaelforrest, Friday 25th March 2021 ---- Stuff we made ---- Squares TV https://squares.tv?ct=pod Ivanka’s Blog https://ivanka.blog ---- This Week's Links ---- [1] Game Theory - Tit for Two Tats - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tit_for_tat  [2] Louis Theroux - Forbidden America - https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0014khc/louis-therouxs-forbidden-america-series-1-1-extreme-and-online  ---- Credits ---- Talking is by Ivanka Majic and Michael Forrest Music available on Apple Music | Spotify | Bandcamp Patreon: https://patreon.com/grandpodcast https://twitter.com/ivanka https://twitter.com/michaelforrest https://twitter.com/PodcastGrand Hosted on Acast.

    Episode 195 - Spotify

    Joe Rogan is happy to promote misinformation and extremist voices on his podcast, and many artists recently left Spotify as a result of his continued inclusion on the platform. We talk about our history with Spotify as consumers and as an artist, and wonder what the hell CEO Daniel Ek is doing.

    Episode 194 - "Benefits" of Brexit Report

    The British government released a report on the “benefits” of Brexit this week and it is so heavily predicated on questionable premises, and so one-sidedly targeted to a pro-Brexit audience, that it is difficult to discuss. We attempted to discuss it nevertheless.

    Episode 193 - Investing

    Episode 193 - Investing We’ve been experimenting with “assets”. How do you make money work for you? How do you play the game when you realise that for rich people, money isn’t a thing you earn and spend, it’s a magical up-and-down merry go round of arbitrary financial gain. Do we even have a “net worth” if we don’t do this stuff?
