Rational Boomer is a contrast to what people believe Baby Boomers to be. It's about insight, intelligence, compassion, logic and truth regarding politics and news of the day. It's about nostalgia and stories of the past. It's about information and entertainment. A place for rational boomers to rally around.
The Rational Boomer Podcast is a refreshing and thought-provoking show that offers a nuanced perspective on the current state of our nation. As a 61-year-old listener from Virginia, I have found Mike's perspective and posture to be highly enjoyable. Unlike many hyper-left or hyper-right citizens, Mike tends to lean towards the greater good without sacrificing anyone's well-being. As someone who traditionally votes conservative but does not align with Trump, I appreciate having another voice of reason in today's polarized political climate.
One of the best aspects of The Rational Boomer Podcast is its focus on governance. Mike recognizes that the capability for national, state, and local governments to apply effective governance has been broken due to hyper-divisive partisan posturing. He encourages discussions on how to reintroduce and invoke governance through negotiation, compromise, and real dialogue. This topic allows voters to consider smarter and better-equipped elected officials who can work towards the common good.
While I don't mind the occasional use of potty language on the podcast (as I indulge in it myself), one aspect that could be improved upon is the stereotypical name-calling. Mike sometimes uses derogatory terms like "braindead rednecks trumpers," which can erode the platform he has built as a voice of reason. It is important not to mass-load or group people in negative ways, as it only adds to the growing divide in our society. We should strive to reconnect with one another without contributing to further division.
In conclusion, The Rational Boomer Podcast provides an invaluable perspective in today's political landscape. As a listener who values rational discourse and thoughtful analysis, I appreciate Mike's approach and platform. While there are areas that could be improved upon, such as avoiding generalizations or stereotypes, overall this podcast offers a much-needed voice for those seeking reasoned conversations about governance, politics, and bridging divides in our country. I look forward to continuing to listen and engage with the podcast in the future.
