Sorry for the long absence, but life has gotten to both of us and different times these last many months.

In this episode, we start with a quick update on what life has been serving up, a' la carte. After which, we suit up for the heat and stand as close as we can to the dumpster fire that is the current state of social media. From tweets to subreddits, we touch base on a varied stew of social media platforms and the recent policy changes that have fired up users, alienated third-party developers, and even gotten the attention of certain government entities. So, join us for our most recent observation on how hot the social experiment will get.

In this episode, we discuss a topic that has been making waves in the social, political, and academic worlds for the last few months. How has Critical Race Theory worked its way into the American landscape and why are so many people against this doctrine?

If you have thoughts on this subject, please share so that we may see a different perspective.

As we wrap up our series on information and how it's delivered, we discuss the theoretical root of the issue at hand.

The spotlight is shining brightly on a very popular podcaster and an old man, but these are just the most recent players that have found themselves in the limelight. The real issue is much bigger and over the next few episodes, we will address the topics that we touch base on here.    Music: Parasail by Silent Partner obtained via YouTube Audio Library Logo by Jason Baker Download or Subscribe: https://twominds.podbean.com Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2ADLFr6mADZ79E4ox1Ba1Q twomindspodcast@gmail.com Twitter:  @twomindspodcast Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/twomindspodcast

Then we discuss some strange places in the United States that have had some very interesting events occur.

There are many ways people react to the cold of winter. Some bundle up and find comfort in the warmth of a nice home and the company of family. Some focus on the holiday season and the joy it brings. Then there are the others. Those who react to the bitter cold of winter by shuttering the outside world. It is this group that we focus on in this episode. What does winter depression look like and how do people react to it. Also, where might you go to break the cycle of winter depression. If you could choose anywhere to go, where would it be?

Our 25th episode shines light on our favorite TV remakes/reboots as well as those that didn’t quite make it into the favorites category. We offer up our opinion of what makes for a good remake and how others fail. We also discuss a few random shows that aren’t necessarily remakes or reboots; we just love them. We also give a quick shoutout the “The Dancing Outlaw”, Mr. Jesco White and reveal one comeback we are both stoked for.

In this episode Mr. Hamm gives us a little insight into why he has been absent and what exactly a train feels like.  We discuss the influence electronic devices may be having on the development of both children and adults.  We also talk about how society has put knee pads and helmets on the inherent risks one takes while growing up.

Mr. Hamm usually writes these so I'm lost. In this episode, Mr. Taylor once again graces me with his presence as he fills in for Mr. Hamm who is still recovering from illness. We wish you a speedy recovery. Try to follow our meandering conversation as we go from whiskey to books to WWII to millenials to bigfoot.

Sometimes every star in the night sky is blotted out by clouds. In this episode we discuss how even star power can’t save some of Hollywood’s attempts to remake iconic films. Joining us in studio is a special guest and longtime friend, Richard Taylor. He lends his opinions of the good and bad of Tinseltown remakes. Though there are many bad out there, there are also some really good ones and we balance out this episode with our opinions of both.

Happy Mother’s Day everyone who qualifies!  Quick…..the first thing that comes to mind when I say Kentucky.  I bet you thought bourbon or racehorses.  There is actually a lot more to the Bluegrass State than just these two things.  We talk about many of the natural wonders to be found, make a few suggestions of places to see, and a brief history of a frigid fighter plane.

We are joined by the brothers Calder from A Brothers’ Quarrel podcast in this very special crossover episode! We discuss, as best we can, the responsibilities of social media outlets and break our own rules about discussing politics. Jake and Bob lend their opinions, humor, and insight into how social media is used and abused. No holds are barred in this one, so hit play and hold on for this rollercoaster of an episode!!! Also, if you just can’t get enough of Mr. Claywell and Mr. Hamm, get another audio fix at A Brothers’ Quarrell.  We join Jake and Bob and try to settle (to no avail) their quarrel once and for all as well as play some silly games.

Digital… Vinyl… DIGITAL!!! VINYL!!! We kick things off with a discussion about our audio medium preferences and then dive right into the world of tomorrow. How far are we from becoming completely self sufficient and what implications would that have on our social structures? Maybe we even stumble upon a fix for those social interactions by looking back at our college days. Make sure to come back next week for a very special episode with very special guests.

We all have our vices and in this episode we dive into some from our past. In the words of Charles Dickens, “Vices are sometimes only virtues carried to excess.” We also share some of the ways we indulge and reward our good behaviors. To wrap things up, we pay homage to the great Stephen Hawking and give a word of encouragement to the voices of the “March For Our Lives” movement.

In the words of Dr. Sam Beckett “Oh boy.”  We have had a doozy couple of weeks here at Two Minds.  From starvation to gunshots to being attacked by zombie rodents. Then there were anniversaries, Olympics, and learning about the worst financial week ever experienced by the MGM grand hotel.

We begin this episode by discussing the recent tragedies in Texas, Kentucky, and Florida.  Then we move on to topics that lift our spirit and warm our hearts.  If you start this episode in tears we hope you finish with laughter.

For all the parents out there who are hearing "Let's watch it again!" for the fourth time today; here is a fun way to watch the animated world of Pixar. For anyone else who just loves these animated films; here is a fun new perspective on these classics.

You ever play a video game online and just think that either you're that bad or everyone else is cheating?  Well maybe neither of those things is the case.  Maybe the other players just have more money than you.  What would it be like to buy a game and the a few months down the road lose access to content that was there when you purchased it?  Also, what the hell is everyone talking about swatting?  Are there that many flies around here?

Well, net neutrality is dead. Is there anything worse we can talk about? I'm certain I can find something.

Grandmother used to tell me a ghost story about a spectral locomotive that would rocket past the farm where she grew up. Ok, not our grandmother, but it is a line from one of the best supernatural films of all time. Speaking of ghost stories, let us tell you some of our favorites with a special guest, Kevin from the Open Casket Tales and Folklore podcast.
