Hosts Michael Sorg, Katie Dudas, and Dave Podnar are back with another fun-filled episode of AwesomeCast, bringing their favorite geeky picks and tech stories of the week from Pittsburgh and beyond.

Join host Jim Ellermeyer, behavioral health therapist, for a powerful Fishing Without Bait conversation on living with integrity, building internal validation, and focusing on solutions rather than problems—even in the face of political division and global conflict. Jim shares the five core attributes that shape a grounded life: knowing right from wrong, having a moral compass, being dependable, being honest, and treating others with courtesy and respect. Drawing from his deep roots in the 12-step recovery world, Jim explains why magnifying problems only fuels negativity, and how “studied indifference” and critical thinking can help us see past misinformation in today's polarized media environment. He and co-host Mike discuss the need for unity, the dangers of outside forces driving division, and the importance of leaders who act with integrity. Jim also offers a heartfelt reflection on the Israel–Gaza conflict, expressing support for Israel's right to exist while condemning the killing of innocents and calling for compassion for all human beings. His words challenge us to look beyond sides and politics, focusing instead on shared humanity.
