Behind the Veil - The Mystery of Malaysia Flight 370    Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared on March 8, 2014, during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, and its wreckage has never been found. The cause remains one of aviation's greatest unsolved mysteries, with the leading theories pointing to a deliberate diversion and crash in the Southern Indian Ocean.    The Disappearance The Boeing 777, with 227 passengers and 12 crew members on board, last communicated with air traffic control less than an hour after takeoff. The aircraft's transponder and communications systems were then manually turned off, and military radar showed it deviating from its planned route, turning westward and flying across the Malay Peninsula before heading south into the remote Indian Ocean.  Automated "handshake" signals with an Inmarsat satellite indicated the plane continued to fly for hours until it ran out of fuel and crashed. Analysis of these signals and ocean drift modeling of subsequent debris narrowed the likely crash area to a specific arc in the Southern Indian Ocean.    Key Evidence and Theories Debris: Beginning in 2015, over two dozen pieces of debris washed ashore on coastlines in the western Indian Ocean, including Réunion Island, Mozambique, and Tanzania. Three pieces were positively identified as being from MH370, confirming the plane crashed in the ocean. Pilot Involvement: The leading theory among experts is that someone with intimate knowledge of the aircraft deliberately diverted the plane. Evidence supporting this includes the manual turning off of the communication systems and the discovery that the captain, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, had conducted a simulated flight into the Southern Indian Ocean on his home simulator less than a month before the disappearance. Incapacitated Crew: Another viable theory is a "ghost plane" scenario, where the crew and passengers became incapacitated, possibly due to a fire or rapid decompression, and the plane continued on autopilot until it ran out of fuel.    Current Status (Late 2025) The official, government-led search efforts by Malaysia, Australia, and China were suspended in January 2017 after an extensive search of the seafloor yielded no wreckage. A subsequent private search by the American marine robotics firm Ocean Infinity in 2018 was also unsuccessful.  A new "no find, no fee" search by Ocean Infinity was approved by the Malaysian government in March 2025 and began shortly after. However, this latest search was suspended in April 2025 due to seasonal weather conditions but is planned to resume at the end of 2025. 

THE 27 CLUB The 27 Club is a popular culture phenomenon and urban legend referring to the unusual number of influential musicians, artists, and actors who have died at the age of 27, often due to drug or alcohol abuse, suicide, or accidents.  While scientific studies have debunked the idea of a statistical spike in musician deaths at this specific age, the perceived coincidence continues to capture public fascination. The myth gained prominence in the early 1970s with the deaths of several rock icons in a short period, and the narrative was reinforced after Kurt Cobain's death in 1994 and Amy Winehouse's in 2011.  Notable Members The most prominent figures associated with the 27 Club include: Robert Johnson (d. 1938): A pioneering Delta blues musician, he is considered the "first" member of the club and is part of the legend that he sold his soul to the devil for musical prowess. Brian Jones (d. 1969): The founding member and original leader of The Rolling Stones, he drowned in his swimming pool after consuming alcohol and drugs. Jimi Hendrix (d. 1970): The innovative and highly influential rock guitarist who died of a drug overdose involving barbiturates. Janis Joplin (d. 1970): A powerful blues and rock singer, she died of a heroin overdose in her hotel room. Jim Morrison (d. 1971): The enigmatic lead singer of The Doors, whose cause of death in Paris was officially ruled as heart failure, though drug use was suspected. Kurt Cobain (d. 1994): The frontman of the grunge band Nirvana, he died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound, with a high concentration of heroin in his system. Amy Winehouse (d. 2011): The British singer-songwriter known for her soulful voice, she died of accidental alcohol poisoning.  Other artists and actors sometimes included in the broader list are artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, Grateful Dead keyboardist Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, and actor Anton Yelchin.  Cultural Impact vs. Statistical Reality The enduring nature of the 27 Club is less about a true statistical anomaly and more about the power of storytelling and media reinforcement. The concentration of several highly famous deaths at the same age within a short timeframe (1969-1971) created a powerful narrative that stuck in the public consciousness.  While one study published in the British Medical Journal in 2011 found that young adult musicians have a higher death rate overall than the general population, it concluded there was no specific increased risk at age 27 compared to other young ages. However, the myth itself has led to increased visibility and cultural prominence for those who die at that age, perpetuating the idea.

Raven shares why he demanded a “warts and all” story when it came to his new documentary, Nevermore: The Raven Effect. He explains how insecurity shaped his early career, what really happened when he walked away from Vince McMahon and the WWF office, and how five minutes of “divine inspiration” created the Raven character. He and filmmaker Geordie Day talk about the wild reality of ECW in the '90s, and why the Dreamer feud, Sandman storyline, and Crucifixion angle worked so well. Raven also recounts the truth about his relationship with Paul Heyman, his favorite episodic stories from Portland, the WrestleMania 17 golf-cart fiasco, the frustrations of WCW and the Flock, the chair-shot debate with Dreamer, the real story of Shane McMahon staying at his house, and the ending beat of the film that Raven loves the most.

BIG CAL AND THE MADDAWG HATE PEOPLE WE REALLY DO        

Dr. Carole Lieberman is a board-certified Beverly Hills psychiatrist, author, and media personality who specializes in forensic psychiatry and media psychiatry.    Education and training M.D.: She received her medical degree from the Université Catholique de Louvain in 1975. M.P.H.: She earned a Master's of Public Health from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Residency: Lieberman was Chief Resident in Psychiatry at NYU-Bellevue. Clinical Faculty: She has been a member of the clinical faculty in UCLA's Department of Psychiatry for many years. Other Training: She studied at the Anna Freud Hampstead Clinic and the Institute of Psychiatry/Maudsley Hospital in London.    Career and notable work Forensic Psychiatrist: With over 20 years of experience, she works as a forensic psychiatrist and expert witness on hundreds of civil and criminal cases nationwide, including high-profile cases like the Jenny Jones Talk Show murder trial and celebrity divorces. Media Personality: An Emmy-honored media personality, Lieberman frequently provides psychiatric expertise on news and talk shows such as Oprah and the Today Show, and hosts a radio show and podcast. Author: She is an award-winning author of several books, including Bad Boys, Bad Girls, and Lions and Tigers and Terrorists, Oh My!. Activism: She has testified before Congress multiple times to advocate for mental health awareness in the media. Hollywood Consultant: She has worked as a psychiatric script consultant for soap operas like The Young and the Restless.    Controversies Analyzing Public Figures: Dr. Lieberman has faced criticism for providing analyses of public figures she has not personally met, which goes against the American Psychiatric Association's "Goldwater Rule". Criticism from UCLA: An article in Shockya raised questions about the use of psychiatric evaluations by UCLA-trained psychiatrists, including Lieberman, to potentially discredit individuals who challenge established interests. Video Game Controversy: In 2011, she suggested that video games contribute to aggression and sexual assault.      SOCIAL MEDIA EXPLOITATION – HOW IT WORKS Social media platforms exploit and manipulate psychological mechanisms to drive excessive engagement, often at the expense of users' mental well-being. While Dr. Carole Lieberman has not specified a distinct list of mechanisms, her public stance as a "Media Psychiatrist" aligns with a recognized set of issues identified by mental health professionals, researchers, and tech critics.  Key psychological mechanisms that make social media platforms harmful include: The variable reward system Social media platforms use an intermittent, variable reward schedule similar to that of a slot machine.  The dopamine hit: Each notification, "like," or share is a potential reward that triggers a release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain's reward pathway. The unpredictability factor: Since users don't know when they will receive a reward, they are incentivized to keep scrolling and checking for updates. The unpredictability of the reward makes the platforms highly addictive.  Social comparison and curated reality Social media platforms present a distorted view of others' lives, leading to a constant and often unhealthy process of comparison.  The "highlight reel": Users primarily post curated, idealized versions of their lives, showcasing achievements, vacations, and happy moments. Feelings of inadequacy: When a user's unfiltered reality is constantly compared to the polished "highlight reel" of others, it can create feelings of low self-esteem, envy, and inadequacy. Filters and altered self-perception: The pervasive use of filters on images and videos further promotes unrealistic beauty standards, which can lead to body dissatisfaction and a disconnect from one's authentic self.  Fear of missing out (FOMO) Platforms capitalize on the fundamental human need for connection by creating a fear of exclusion.  Anxiety and compulsion: Notifications and feeds highlighting the activities of friends and acquaintances can trigger the fear of missing out on social events or experiences. This anxiety can drive compulsive checking and over-engagement. Displacement of real-life interactions: The desire to stay "in the loop" online can cause users to prioritize virtual engagement over genuine, in-person social interactions, leading to feelings of loneliness and isolation.  Design features that drive compulsive use Social media platforms are deliberately engineered with features that make it hard to stop scrolling, even when a user intends to log off.  Infinite scroll: This feature eliminates stopping points, allowing users to consume an endless stream of content without having to make a conscious decision to start a new page. Autoplay: Platforms like YouTube and TikTok automatically play the next video in a queue, seamlessly prolonging a user's session without requiring any action. Personalized algorithms: Artificial intelligence (AI) is used to constantly learn a user's preferences, ensuring that the content delivered is as engaging and attention-grabbing as possible.  Targeting of adolescents Social media companies disproportionately impact younger users, whose brains are still in a sensitive period of development.  Vulnerability to reward systems: Developing brains are particularly sensitive to social rewards, which makes young people more susceptible to the variable reward systems of social media. Impact on developing brains: Excessive social media use has been linked to changes in the parts of the adolescent brain related to emotional learning, impulse control, and regulation. This can lead to increased emotional sensitivity and compromised decision-making.  This is for informational purposes only. For medical advice or diagnosis, consult a professional.

GREIF IT'S NOT THE SAME FOR EVERYONE The Many Faces of Grief: Various Ways People Handle Grief 1. Understanding Grief Grief is a natural response to loss—whether it's the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a major life change, or even the loss of identity or health. While it's universal, the way each person grieves is deeply personal and influenced by culture, beliefs, personality, and life experiences. 2. The Classic Model: The Five Stages of Grief Psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross outlined five common stages: Denial – Refusing to accept the reality of the loss. Anger – Feeling frustration or resentment about what happened. Bargaining – Wishing or imagining ways the loss could be undone. Depression – Deep sadness, withdrawal, or hopelessness. Acceptance – Coming to terms with the reality of loss. These stages aren't linear; people move back and forth between them, or skip some entirely. 3. Cultural Expressions of Grief Different cultures have distinct mourning rituals: Western traditions often emphasize funerals and memorials focused on remembrance. Eastern traditions may focus on honoring ancestors and maintaining spiritual connections. Collectivist cultures tend to grieve communally, while individualist cultures may encourage private processing. 4. Emotional and Behavioral Differences People express grief in diverse ways: Emotional expressers cry, talk openly, and seek support. Instrumental grievers cope by staying busy or focusing on tasks. Avoidant grievers suppress emotions, sometimes appearing “strong” or “unmoved.” Chronic grievers experience long-term sadness and difficulty moving on. 5. Coping Mechanisms Healthy coping can take many forms: Talking it out with friends, family, or therapists. Creative outlets like writing, art, or music. Spiritual or religious practices such as prayer, meditation, or rituals. Physical activity as a way to release emotional energy. Some may also resort to unhealthy coping, like substance use or emotional withdrawal, highlighting the need for support and compassion. 6. The Growth That Can Follow Grief While grief is painful, many people experience post-traumatic growth—a newfound appreciation for life, deeper relationships, or renewed purpose. 7. A Universal Yet Unique Experience No two people grieve the same way. Understanding that can help us be more compassionate—toward others and ourselves.

  WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO CHARLIE KIRK Background Charlie Kirk was a prominent conservative political activist, co‑founder and CEO of Turning Point USA. Wikipedia+2Wikipedia+2 On September 10, 2025, he was speaking at an outdoor event at Utah Valley University (UVU) in Orem, Utah, as part of his “American Comeback Tour.” Wikipedia+3Wikipedia+3Encyclopedia Britannica+3 The event was attended by about 3,000 people. KCCI+3Encyclopedia Britannica+3Wikipedia+3 The Shooting: Timeline & Mechanics At 12:23:30 p.m. MDT, while responding to audience questions about mass shootings, Kirk was struck in the neck by a single bullet. Police1+3Wikipedia+3Encyclopedia Britannica+3 The shot is believed to have been fired from a rooftop of a building approximately 140–180 yards (roughly 130–165 m) away—investigators refer to it as a sniper-style assassination. KCRA+5Wikipedia+5Encyclopedia Britannica+5 Witnesses and video show people in the crowd scattering and screaming right after the shot. KCRA+4Wikipedia+4Encyclopedia Britannica+4 Kirk was carried by six men to an SUV and taken to Timpanogos Regional Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. Encyclopedia Britannica+4Wikipedia+4Encyclopedia Britannica+4 Investigation & Manhunt Weapon recovered: Investigators found a .30-06 Mauser M98 bolt-action rifle in a wooded area along the presumed escape route. KCCI+4Police1+4Wikipedia+4 Forensic evidence: Palm prints, forearm imprints, a footprint (shoe impression), and smudges at the roof edge were collected. PBS+3Wikipedia+3Police1+3 In the first hours after the shooting, some people were held as persons of interest but later released. Encyclopedia Britannica+2PBS+2 The main suspect, Tyler James Robinson (age 22), surrendered on September 12, in Washington, Utah. Wikipedia+2Encyclopedia Britannica+2 Robinson was formally charged on September 16 with aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, obstruction of justice, witness tampering, and committing a violent crime in the presence of a child. Prosecutors intend to seek the death penalty. Wikipedia+2Encyclopedia Britannica+2 A roommate of Robinson, who is transgender, has cooperated with law enforcement. In text exchanges, Robinson is reported to have said, “I am … sorry,” and “I had enough of his hatred.” Encyclopedia Britannica+2PBS+2 Political & Public Reaction The Utah governor labeled the killing a “political assassination.” KCCI+3Encyclopedia Britannica+3PBS+3 Many media and political figures condemned the act. Former President Trump, Republican leaders, and others blamed “left-wing ideologies” or groups even before motive or motive evidence was fully public. KCCI+3Wikipedia+3Encyclopedia Britannica+3 There was a surge of speculation and misinformation: allegations targeting transgender communities, Israel, or political opponents. Wikipedia+2PBS+2 Thousands attended memorials and tributes. For example, a large memorial service was held on September 21, 2025 in Arizona at State Farm Stadium (with overflow to Desert Diamond Arena). Wikipedia Uncertainties & Open Questions Motive: Authorities have not definitively established motive. Some officials suggest Robinson had “leftist ideology” or had become radicalized via online communities, but this is not confirmed. PBS+2Wikipedia+2 Security gaps: Questions have been raised about how the shooter was able to access the rooftop, and how security around the event was arranged and managed. KCRA+2KCCI+2 Conspiracy theories & misinformation: Many unfounded theories have circulated, including claims of pre-knowledge by others, misattributed motive, or alternative shooters. Authorities caution about misinformation. Wikipedia+2PBS+2 Full motive interpretation: It remains unclear whether the assassination was strictly ideologically driven, personally motivated, or influenced by extremist content.

Bruce Van Natta had a near-death experience after a workplace accident. He was suddenly out of his body watching the scene after the accident down below. He traveled back and forth from his body to the other side, during which he ascended through a tunnel bringing him to Jesus. Finally, though, he was saved by angels and prayed back to life. In this interview, he describes the power of prayer, the importance of listening to God, and how he was able to verify his NDE.

These stories of life after death are able to provide wisdom, comfort, and peace to those alive on Earth right now. When someone has an NDE, they typically recount heaven/ the afterlife as being a place of immense love, kindness, and of having no judgement. There is life after death. During an NDE experience, those who are clinically dead will often take lessons from the afterlife that we usually learn too late. This is why these life after death experiences are so important: dying teaches us how to live.

"MY FAMILY PLAYED SINATRA RECORDS ALL THE TIME." ​Lifelong Sinatra fans are fascinated when they hear Tony Sands start to croon. They think 'Ol Blue Eyes' has come back to life! For more than thirty years, Tony Sands has been perfecting his act, and wooing audiences all over the United States. Sands caught the Sinatra bug as a child growing up in South Philly. "When I was twelve or thirteen years old, that's when I first wanted to sing," Sands says. "My family played Sinatra records all the time, and I started singing along. The next thing I knew, I just fell in love with his music…and here I am." “WHEN I WAS TWELVE OR THIRTEEN YEARS OLD, THAT'S WHEN I FIRST WANTED TO SING.” Tony's silky, mesmerizing, and tantalizing rendition of the Chairman of the Board's style, has caught the eye of the entertainment community, and audiences from around the country. He's performed in theaters across the country, as well as many Manhattan restaurants, Zanzibar Blue Jazz Club in Philadelphia, The Ritz Carlton Hotel in Philadelphia, The Harvard Club, and The Breakers Hotel in New York City, just to name a select few.   During the winter months, Tony performs at various venues all across Florida, to standing ovations every night. Tony's impressive resume includes performances at Trump Castle and Casino, Tropicana Casino & Resort, and Harrah's Hotel and Casino, all in Atlantic City. His performances in Reno, Nevada at the Eldorado Resort Casino have been sold out, night after night. Tony has also made many television appearances up and down the east coast. ​ One of Tony's productions is a never before seen musical journey about the life and times of the late Frank Sinatra called, ‘Sinatra' ~ The Musical. This production includes all of Sinatra's best loved songs from the early days with Tommy Dorsey, to the bright lights of New York City, and then to the silver screen of Hollywood, leading up to Sinatra's 'Main Event' comeback.   Another performance of Tony's that you don't want to miss is Sinatra's ‘That's Life' Concert. Tony brings in his BIG BAND, Swingtopia, and performs all the popular standards that you can sing along to. Tony captivates his audiences with the romance, mannerisms and illusion that have made Sands one of the most popular entertainers around.   In 2010, Tony produced a widespread favorite show, 'Rat Pack Together Again.' Tony's portrayal of 'The Legend,' in this revue is 'spot on!' Dean, Sammy, & Frank's onstage banter will keep you ‘in stitches,' just like the ‘real' Rat Pack did back in the day. ​ Finally, 'Start Spreading the News' with Liza and Frank, is a spectacular tribute to Frank Sinatra and Liza Minnelli, and it's Tony's latest production. It stars Tony Sands and Whitney Grace with the electrifying Live Big Band, Swingtopia. Get ready for a night of pure magic as two powerhouse performers bring the legends to life in this dazzling tribute that plays to sold-out crowds, and earns unanimous standing ovations across the country! Whitney Grace stuns with Liza's most iconic hits, from "Cabaret" to "All That Jazz," and Tony brings Sinatra's charm and velvet vocals to classics like "Come Fly With Me" and "My Way." Then, prepare to be blown away as they come together for a show-stopping duet of "New York, New York!" This is more than a concert — it's a musical time machine through the golden era of American entertainment.

DALTON BIOGRAPHY Lacy J. Dalton (born Jill Lynne Byrem on October 13, 1946 in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania), is an American country singer and songwriter with a career that has spanned many decades and touched the hearts of millions of music fans. In March 2017 Lacy J Dalton was inducted into the North American Country Music Association International Hall of Fame, and in 2022 she was awarded a Lifetime Career Achievement Award from the Josie Music Awards, the largest independent music awards show in the country.   She's one of the most instantly recognizable voices in music – the woman People Magazine called “Country's Bonnie Raitt.” From the first time Lacy J Dalton caught the public's ear, that soulful delivery, full of texture and grit, has been a mainstay of Country Music. When you sit to listen to a Lacy J Dalton album, you find yourself pulled in by the very power and heart of this vocalist, because she's not merely performing a ten-song set, she's bringing each and every tune to life. It's as if they were all written especially for her.   Prior to recording with Harbor Records in 1978 as Jill Croston, she like many before her, held many jobs to survive and support her family. As a truck stop waitress and singer, she would wait tables and then take the stage to sing a few songs. In June 1979, Lacy J Dalton was signed by Columbia Records and quickly rose to national prominence with Crazy Blue Eyes, which she wrote with her longest friend, Mary McFadden, and which raced to #7 on the Billboard Country Charts.  Her hard work and dedication paid off in 1979 when she was awarded the Academy of Country Music's Top New Female Vocalist of the Year.   Lacy's success was powered not just by the artist's recordings, but by a stage show that truly electrified audiences. She quickly became one of the few women who could successfully open a show for the likes of Hank Williams, Jr., Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard or Charlie Daniels. Not only could she do it, but she left audiences across the country hollering for more. Her signature song 16th Avenue, became the Anthem for Nashville songwriters.  Her other hit records are legendary million-airplay cuts and include Crazy Blue Eyes, Takin' It Easy, Everybody Makes Mistakes, Hillbilly Girl with the Blues, Hard Times, and the worldwide hit Black Coffee.   In addition to her Top New Female Vocalist award, she also brought home numerous Grammy nominations and 3 prestigious, back to back (1979, 1980, 1981) Bay Area Music Awards for Best Country-Folk Recordings. Lacy appeared on those shows with the likes of Neil Young, The Grateful Dead, Grace Slick and the Jefferson Airplane.   Lacy's collaboration with Willie Nelson on his platinum Half Nelson CD was a high spot for her. Lacy is the only woman featured on that recording (which included singing legends Ray Charles, Neil Diamond, Merle Haggard, Julio Iglesias, George Jones, Leon Russell, Carlos Santana, Mel Tillis, Hank Williams Sr., and Neil Young), and was awarded a Platinum Record for it. She also received a Gold Record from Hank Williams Jr. in 1985 for her support performances throughout his Five-0 Tour, where she opened for him at a time when it was unusual for a woman to do so. Her career includes accomplishments in music, film and radio.  In music, they range from her instantly recognizable charted hit songs to her notable duets recorded with George Jones, Willie Nelson, Bobby Bare, Glen Campbell, Eddie Rabbit, David Allen Coe and many others. Her film debut was in the motion picture Take This Job And Shove It, and her acting has also included live stage and theater performances. Until recently, Lacy J Dalton also hosted a weekly radio show called Mustang Matters.  Podcasts of past shows are available to listeners on the internet at www.americamatters.us   Following a successful career in country music, Lacy decided to draw on all her musical experiences including country, rock and folk, and cross over into the Americana genre.  This blend of musical styles allows her to express herself in a way that demonstrates all the facets of who she is as a singer/songwriter.  She became an independent artist and formed her own label called Song Dog Records.  Under this label, she has released three albums to date.  The first was Wild Horse Crossing in 1999, followed by the Last Wild Place Anthology which went #1 on the World Independent Chart, and a year later went #1 on the American Western Music Chart. Then Allison Eastwood, Clint Eastwood's daughter, used the hit song Slip Away from the Anthology CD on the sound track of her independent film, Don't Tell. In 2010 Lacy also released a tribute to Hank Williams Sr. entitled Here's To Hank.   Today, Lacy continues to record new music and perform live shows whenever possible.  She tours mainly west of the Mississippi and loves small boutique venues and old theaters with great sound quality and warm, receptive audiences she can really connect with.  She recently recorded some electrifying new music for an EP that was released in January 2019.  When hearing the signature song Scarecrow, her good friend Reverend Barbara Ann Fletcher remarked “that song makes you a whole new you, and it makes me a whole new me.”  And that's exactly the response Lacy was hoping for.  In 2024 Lacy released an album titled For The Black Sheep, a collection of songs with meaningful lyrics and messages of unity and acceptance for all of us.   In addition to her musical career, Lacy has been involved in various service projects through several charitable organizations – namely, the Let ‘em Run Foundation, William James Associates Arts in Corrections, and Rotary International.

About Our Open Forum Concept An open forum podcast is a format where one or more hosts, often with a moderator, engage in a structured discussion on a specific topic. It's characterized by a natural, often improvised, conversation between the hosts. This format encourages diverse perspectives and allows for a more collaborative and dynamic flow than a scripted interview.  Here's a More Detailed Look at What We Do: Moderation: Our moderator guides the discussion, keeps it focused, and ensures all voices are heard.  Co-hosting: Affectionately called, "The Pitbull", Amelia Balerio Chapman is the podcasts long time co-host and often provides varying & interesting viewpoints and commentary leading to very thoughtful and inciteful conversational flow.  Natural Flow: The conversation is always improvised, creating a sense of spontaneity and engagement for listeners. Even WE don't know what's coming next. Topic Focus: Open forums often center around a specific theme or trending topic, allowing for in-depth exploration. While we never have a "set topic" we often have a general idea where we are headed. This keeps us from going completely "off the rails", so to speak. Community Building: The relaxed and conversational style can foster a sense of community among listeners, making them feel like part of the conversation. We have an active in-shoe "LIVE" chatroom that is always active and never shy about expressing their collective viewpoint. Join them.
