Main Street Midday

Back from hiatus.

Taking a bit of a cool down week this week. Taking the opportunity to try something new. Something mini and mobile.

Answering listeners questions about life, providing perspective, encouragement and honest support on a variety of topics

Give a quick listen for all the details of the big event tomorrow!

As of 4pm eastern time the jackpot is over 1.2 billion. I update my calulations and comments from earlier.

Last night 23 year old mega star Shawn Mendes cancelled his first world tour since the Pandemic for mental health reasons. Good for his long term health and that of his young Gen Z fans who are also struggling.

Sadly today, all too often we listen to react or respond, not understand. That has to change and I believe it can.

Rare Monday podcast. A random one at that, from my heart and tired mind. Oddly, I think it works -pretty well. Enjoy

If the Stephen Ayres types in your life want to come home, please, for the sake of your life, your community's life and the country, let'em.

Also thanks for supporting episode 100!

Episode 100. In celebration of episode 100, I spend a lot of time talking about New Star Trek at the end. But before that, some serious words about what happened in Japan overnight, less serious words about Boris Johnson, something about Bernie in an online poll, episode 100 gratitude AND lots and lots of Star Trek at the end.

Mitt Romney wrote a piece in The Atlantic yesterday detailing how America is in denial. I have been thinking the same thing lately. How do we get from here to where we need to be, a few thoughts.

Update from a remote location!

Short take today as I am deep in primary mode. Full edition tomorrow. Chat then!

Little update and sincere thank you to our early adopters on patreon. Thank you!

And perspectoive on facist Fratboy Madison Cawthorn from my own experience.

Video streaming services that are key media access points for folks like us on Main Street and communities just outside had a bad week. More about that in this episode.

The assumption that Trumpism core support comes from Baby Boomers and older is false. The key demographic that tips the vote in their favor are voters born between 1965 and 1980. Gen X, The Red Dawn/Day After/Doomsday Generation. What The Hell?

This episode is inspired by one of the January 6th trials going on. I was struck by his story because it seems so common and thus says so much. News analysis without hate.

Main Street Midday is on Patreon! Reminded this weeked how characters in the novel 1984 actually had it easier than we do TV news wise, and a truly Conservative response to Rightwingnuts(tm) who try to get you to blame LGBTQ folks for everything.

Real Estate Prices in Canada's capital are off the hook,Skilled Trade education continues to surge in popularity, So Called Conservatives continue to advocate for authortairianism while other groups test market it from overseas. The 48th lawmaker announces he is leaving Congress at the end of his current term. Whew

This the first draft of our 'less is more' 3 minute format: a quick take on one news item, with a 30 second ad slot. It's is a bit bumpy but I like it. It is the first, sustainable, step toward where I want to be long term. Easier sell and a companion to longer content in the future. On we go!
