A Walk Through the Mind podcast

A Walk Through the Mind

We all have our favorite podcasts that we listen to, so I try to keep it short. I take 15-30 minutes and discuss a topic that's bouncing around in my mind and invite you to listen. Find a topic that I've riffed on and see what you think of it.

Monosodium Glutamate

Apparently, I make bougie ramen, and it all started from looking at the back of the packaging of regular ol' instant ramen noodles and my attempt to veer away from MSG in my ingredients. But it appears that MSG isn't as bad as it has been portrayed in the past.

Nothing to Fear

Election day is over; hooray! But now we get the post election coverage, and as much blame as was passed around in the come up of the election, we are now getting ready to assume a defensive stance from the assault of the victors. And I feel was this was best displayed through Tim Walz's wife's, Gwen, introduction speech. But if we look at what obsticals we, as a country, have over come, and what other prominent figures have spoken in the past, I know we have nothing to fear.

Let Your Imperfections Shine

This weekend a friend came over to build a table on a budget. And working on a budget, we were only able to afford materials that took a little bit more work to clean up and came with some natural imperfections. My friend took a hyper focus on these bits, making it difficult to see how these features add a bonus uniqueness as opposed to being "not perfect."

To a Publisher or Not to a Publisher?

I recently sat in with Abs 'na 6 Pack: Tattle of the Douchebags, and I had to bring two people who I believed did the biggest tattling/snitching/narcing: Edward Snowden and Julian Assange. Both, big names, have been associated with releases of damning government information. How each is known for their release of information is quite different between who published and who had it published. Right or wrong, was the information they released good for the outcome, 13-11 years ago to now? Have we improved with the information we've been given? Have we continued to follow up?
