For many voters, the upcoming US election isn't really about the border, or the deficit, or guns, or healthcare, or abortion. As many pundits have now suggested, it's about the vibes. It raises an unsettling question: does policy even matter anymore? Is the spin more important than the substance? There's no one better to answer that question than the Chairman and Co-Founder of Purple Strategies, a bipartisan public affairs firm, Alex Castellanos. Alex is one of the America's best known and most successful media consultants and strategists. He has served as media consultant to seven U.S. Presidential campaigns, and has been credited with the discovery of the “political soccer mum” and called the father of the attack ad.Follow Will Kingston and Fire at Will on social media here.Read The Spectator Australia here.

Kate Petrie is a 54-year-old classically trained actor, voice actor, drama teacher, and makeup artist from Morayshire, Scotland. Drama school and stage acting offered her the opportunity to travel across the globe residing in France, England, and Spain. Ms. Petrie spent her childhood in rural Scotland where she “was bitten by ticks many times.” She “had lots of health issues when [she] was younger,” but suffered severe symptoms including rashes, swollen glands, loss of voice, and “horrendous fatigue” after a tick bite at the age of 17. Her doctors diagnosed her with “ringworm” and “the kissing disease” and urged her not to “kiss too many boys.” Despite growing up in a tick endemic community and suffering from classic migrating Lyme disease symptoms, she was not accurately diagnosed until she was 50 years old. Doctors misdiagnosed Ms. Petrie with Endometriosis, Graves' disease, and arthritis. Finally, she hired a “private doctor in London” who sent her blood work to Armin Labs in Germany. Today, Ms. Petrie has become a Lyme education advocate because she believes that if she had “known about Lyme” and had received early “treatment” her “life would have been very very very different.” If you would like to learn more about how education can protect you and your family from Lyme disease, then tune in now! PS Children's Lyme author Alex Castellanos served as a special guest co-host with Rich for this interview.

Terrible - causing or likely to cause terror; sinister. With Halloween coming up, it's fitting for gamers everywhere to play and revisit some of their favorite scary video games. TRG is doing the same but with a game that may not be on everyone's radar: Metroid Fusion. The Metroid series has always been accustomed to themes of sci-fi, isolation, and even dread. But Metroid Fusion took these themes and cranked the dial up to 11. Friend of the show, Jonathan Steele, joins me on the mic to discuss the 2002 GBA classic, Metroid Fusion.

Death Stranding is arguably Hideo Kojima's most polarizing game. But it's one worth persevering through. Death Stranding is a game that is like an onion with some deep, deep layers.

This is something that was noticeably absent from many reviews and reactions when it first came out. There was plenty of talk about how the game is a walking simulator in many a review but is Death Stranding merely a walking simulator?

Madeline Castellanos is a 9-year-old actor, student and author from Los Angeles, California. Her Lyme disease journey began 4 years ago when her mother, Alexandra, took her to an urgent care facility when she noticed the child had an “alarming rash." After being dismissed by the urgent care doctor, the formerly energetic Madeline began to nap frequently, fall asleep during car trips, suffer daily migraine headaches, and fall behind her classmates academically in school. The developing symptoms and a new “bullseye” rash caused her mother to schedule Madeline for an examination by her primary care physician. Madeline's primary care doctor diagnosed her with Lyme disease after she tested positive on a Western Blot test. Sadly, Madeline's doctor acknowledged that he did not have the experience or training to adequately treat her disease, so he urged Alexandra “find a good doctor” for her daughter. Alexandra's quest to find a “good doctor” required the pair to travel across the country from California to the birthplace of Lyme disease: Connecticut. There, Madeline treated with the famous Dr Jones of New Haven Connecticut for “10 months nonstop” before she achieved symptom relief. Today, Alexandra helps Madeline to prevent symptom flare ups through diet, limiting direct sun exposure, and avoiding stressful situations. The Castellanos family's Lyme journey taught the mother and daughter many powerful lessons that they wanted to share with other parents and children. Their first outreach project was to co-author a children's book about a young child's Lyme disease journey titled “Mylie's Lyme Story.” Mylie's Lyme Story is now available wherever books are sold including Amazon and ironically Target. If you would like to know more about how Lyme disease inspired a mother and child to share their journey through a child friendly medium, then tune in now!
Colin Moriarty has been working in games media for nearly 20 years. Starting as a technical writer for IGN, Colin worked his way up to editor at IGN. Later, he would leave IGN for Kinda Funny and ultimately starting Last Stand Media, Colin has offered valuable insight into the world of gaming for years. In this episode, Colin shares about how reviewing games works, why Super Mario Sunshine is better than Super Mario 64, the hurdles conservatives face within games media, and more. Colin also shares about how his perspective on God has changed since Fireside Chats, where he released a series of episodes interviewing pastors, mormons, and Christians alike.

Trigger Witch also gets a fair amount of love in it's unique "Legend of Zelda with guns" style gameplay. Discussion (21:23) We wasted no time getting into the discussion for this episode. Colin spends time discussing how reviews work for video games, as well as his stance on numbered ratings on reviews. We spend some time discussing the shift in culture of games media and ask if a conservative voice can even make it. From there, I ask Colin about his perspective on God, and if it's changed since his series of episodes of Fireside Chats focusing on religion. We round out the discussion with questions submitted in by our Patreon supporters.

Political strategist David Axelrod and Alex Castellanos join Chicago Council President Ivo Daalder and pollster Dina Smeltz to discuss partisan trends from the 2015 Chicago Council Survey of public opinion on US foreign policy, and how they might affect the race to the White House.
Trump is basically in "last place" in campaign spending and fundraising. But yet "first place" in all the polls. So we ask: How truly necessary are the Big Donors and all the TV Ads for our primary candidates? Surprisingly, perhaps, Trump shows strength with working class "Union" voters -- Might they be peeled away from the Democrats? Trump praises America's "men in blue" as he brings several policemen on stage with him during a speech in Tyngsborough, Massachusetts. Trump also discusses "the dreamers" and asks if it's acceptable to think of "our children" as being dreamers too. Xenophobia? Meanwhile, veteran GOP consultant Alex Castellanos sees Trump's support solidifying, noting that "doubters" have returned and sense they "may have only one last chance to rescue their country." Plus, we review new developments in Hillary Clinton's ongoing email situation, and we take a listen to Jeb Bush's quavering interview on CNN this morning -- Does he know it's over? With music and listener calls.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
