Welcome to Episode 268 of Spun Today, the podcast that dives deep into the world of writing, creativity, and the stories that both inspire and challenge us. I'm your host, Tony, and in this episode, we're exploring a rich tapestry of thought-provoking topics, from the emotional connections we share with loved ones, to the narratives we craft about ourselves. We'll delve into the teachings of renowned authors like Steven Pressfield and Walter Mosley, discussing the dichotomy between self-criticism and the quest for authentic storytelling. I'll share my reflections on two intriguing books—Ma Rothman's "Multiverse," a techno-thriller that piqued my interest despite my usual disinterest in sci-fi reading, and Charlamagne Tha God's "Get Honest or Die Lying," which offers powerful insights on self-evolution and nurturing creativity in children. Additionally, we'll touch on practical writing tips, the impact of cultural icons like Stephen King, and even get into a discussion about the film "Ford vs Ferrari" and its storytelling mechanisms. Whether you're a seasoned writer or just looking for a burst of creative inspiration, this episode is brimming with valuable insights.

Karel's anger at Covid, Charlemagne and MaskholesKarel's anger at Covid, Charlemagne and Maskholes boils over in this controversial and angry episode. Feeling hopeless in Nevada where Covid rages, Karel cannot understand why there is no leadership and why there is still a debate on whether or not to really lock the country down.How can we not? If you follow the CDC, they said the numbers are probably 10 times worse, which means as of today, there are about 40 million infected Americans and 1.4 million dead. And what's worse, is the complacency. Covid can and wants to kill you or you family and make life horrible. So why aren't Maskholes seen as attempted murderers? They are just that. Every time someone is not complying , they are saying they do not care if you or your family dies. DIES as in dead.Charlemagne, the dumb radio host, not GodCharlemagne the God, a rehabbed criminal who went on to write best selling books and has a radio show in New York, has criticized Joe Biden for saying Trump is the first racist President because 12 Presidents owned slaves. And? Truly. And? What, exactly does this man want us to do about the 12? We can only deal with the one.But here's the hard facts, an Black person in America saying "hurry up and pick a Black running mate so I can be excited to vote for them since I'm not excited to vote for you..." First, if he chooses Mickey Mouse as his VP, you still have to vote for him to Save America, period. Doesn't he, Charlemagne, get it? Doesn't he understand that in order to save America we must empty the White House of it's current occupants? Does he really think sowing seeds of dissent against Biden is going to help? Well, if he does, he's not that bright.Karel's Anger at Covid, Charlemagne and Maskholes is not the easiest episode to hear, and it wasn't easy for me to do. Because at the moment, I'm feeling hopeless, like so many, I'm feeling lost, afraid, and very alone in the fight at times; again, like most. Yesterday, that anger, that emotion got to be too much. Today, it manifests in anger towards so many that are trying to destroy the very nation I've lived in 57 years.
