"Christ is my center but ... my boundaries are permeable." Kimberly Knight Matthew 28:16-20 (The phrase “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations” might lead to many understandings of the word “nations” for Biblical times and today, but “Go” seems absolutely unambiguous) #IC 128: Proud to Know You (9/2/13) Walk The Earth 11 (3/27/14) #IC 85: What It Means to Worship (4/2/12) Kimberly Knight on Patheos, 2012-2017 Spotify page for Inappropriate Conversations, Walk The Earth, Film Year podcasts
I honestly could describe this as a re-blogging, or re-broadcasting, of someone else's podcast. Except for the occasional clip in compilation shows, I've never done this before. My friend Tom (The Ramble Redhead) died this month. Cancer took him quickly, and it was a shock to those who knew him and loved him. Wanting to hear his voice again and knowing his podcast was no longer available online, I went to my personal archives. Past Ramble Redhead shows included interviews with Taylor from Pod Is My Copilot, Christina from Greetings From Nowhere, Toppie from The Smellcast, Margaret Cho, and more -- including me. The majority of this Inappropriate Conversations podcast is sharing Tom's interview with me from September 2015. Those of us who knew Tom will never forget the redhead from Indiana who loved us all.

"Life's an essay test; we're obliged to give essay answers." The Author Acts 17:16-34 (I proclaim to you now what you worship as Unknown) #IC 1: Introduction to Inappropriate Conversations (3/7/10) #IC 150: Opening the Scriptures (9/23/14) #IC 97: Any One Being Ashamed (8/8/12)
The apparently upcoming demise of a former employer has led me to thoughts about topics I've sidestepped in the past on Inappropriate Conversations, keeping work and personal life separate. Perhaps it makes no sense to protect an organization that no longer exists, and I don't think the stories I could tell are really that embarrassing. I consider them to be more revealing about the gap between what a group says it values compared to the culture it actually creates. If that's an Inappropriate Conversations show update, then the update for Walk The Earth is about a plan for daily "devotional" podcasts during Lent, starting on "Fat Tuesday" and ending on the Monday after Easter. Lent Roll. The inspiration for such short 2- or 3-minute shows came from the Different Drummer this week, someone I don't even know by name. Different Drummer: (j)ula of soundwavesoffwax

The next podcast I post will be a new short-form considering movies by year. I'm not replacing Inappropriate Conversations or Walk The Earth, just adding something new. The starting point will be Film Year 2009. Different Drummer: Charles Tashiro Note: the first half of this episode raises questions about the consequences of a recent Supreme Court decision, and I don't know the answer for how this will impact governing in the United States. By my reckoning, things certainly could get very ugly. Consequences are not bound by our lack of accountability.
Feeling challenged in more than one way, I'm recommending the 2022 movie Close as one of the best films in years. It directly reminded me of a past Inappropriate Conversations podcast with Mark Greene as the Different Drummer. His work, and the director of Close, directly refer to this episode's Different Drummer, too. I was reminded of my childhood, at the same age as the central characters in the film, and a sense of disconnection that came from a change in school districts. I also was challenged by how our defense mechanisms seem to presume something inappropriate (directly or indirectly incestuous) might make an unwanted appearance in the plot of a film like this. I don't blame the filmmakers. It's more the way our society is driven to sexualize, seemingly, everything, even when nothing of the sort is going on.

"Sounds Like a Serious Offense" has not come up before in poetry-focused episodes of Inappropriate Conversations, and that's mainly due to the use of rape as a literary comparison. It's uncomfortable, and I would never want to dilute the meaning of such a heinous crime. Having said that, I've had conversations with people of both genders who have been used, manipulated, and socially shunned. This is how they feel.

Some Assembly Required (A NeoSurrealist Forsaking a Habit for Lent) was completed on April 1, 1994. It's nonfiction title was Temptations from the Wilderness II, a second Lenten writing experiment. This one was a jumble of 40 different writing styles during Lent of that year, including traditional omniscient narration of plot-driven action, a recipe, sermon, poetry, drum music, and more. Three years ago, these eight chapters were shared in a serialized form of sorts through seven Inappropriate Conversations episodes -- each with its own Different Drummer, etc. This file pulls the entire novella, such as it is, together.
I don't like it when podcasts I enjoy disappear. Even if they gracefully pod-fade, I've been known to wait weeks or months before finishing the last episode. It's worse when things stop abruptly. One thing I've thankful for each Christmas are the parts of lost shows I've been able to save via a clip show. I'll link to that "best of" episode below. And I don't want to name any part of that retrospective of a lost network as "best of the best" either. But Christmas doesn't seem complete without this story from the long-gone Crimes Against Food podcast. Inappropriate Conversations #178
For this perspective on how modern horror movies have squeezed out traditional thrillers, I've called the selection a 6-pack while sneaking in a few extras within the anthology film entry. The essay was written in 1999 and shared on an Inappropriate Conversations podcast in 2012. The films: A Cold Night's Death Carnival of Souls Invasion of the Body Snatchers The Scarlet Claw The Other Asylum The House That Dripped Blood Trilogy of Terror #IC 103: The Thriller Is Gone
As I've noted in the (old, but) most recent Inappropriate Conversations podcasts, work-life balance and other issues have led to a pause in postings. Work-life balance has shifted again, recently. I can't say yet whether or when this will lead to new episodes of Inappropriate Conversations or Walk The Earth, but I do now that content will be starting to flow again. Starting today, I'm planning to post at regular intervals. During what turned out to be a hiatus, I pulled the plug on promotional clips of past podcasts on SoundCloud. The IC_Greg account there is gone. That experience did lead me to create stand-alone files for some work, including speeches, poetry, and prose. I'll begin with "10 Areas of Agreement about Abortion" as a consolidation of a two-part podcast topic from 2011. Because our national dialog has not progressed much on the issue since the 1970s, the argument still seems somewhat fresh in spite of ignoring a decade of recent current events. Thanks for listening!
From horniness in the workplace to toxic online comment sections, hosts Chris Binning and Evan Cox discuss the awkward inappropriate conversations they've been a part of. Plus, a raccoon filled Chris with joy, Evan felt un-zen in a bookstore, and they both wonder if meteorologists do their own research.
If you are married or in a committed relationship, do you feel as if private and intimate conversations that do not involve touching or kissing with someone other than your spouse or partner is cheating? How about engaging in inappropriate conversations via text with someone you work with, or knew back in the day or someone from a Social Media site? Some of the most destructive infidelities that have broken up marriages, did not even involve another person, but financial deceit. Cheating can happen in various ways in your relationship or marriage, but it is important to understand the difference between appropriate and inappropriate actions. Join Coach Martez and Licensed Therapist Woodrina Layton on the next episode of The Coach Martez Woodrina Layton, LPC Show as they share insight and bring a unique perspective to what cheating looks like in your relationship.

One reason to share this early episode of Inappropriate Conversations is the way the Different Drummer segment relates part of a story I've revisited in multiple ways -- my testimony, so to speak. I intend to "TalkBack" to other episodes in upcoming months that tell the story more directly. Another reason is the topic itself: types and forms of knowledge. Along those lines, new introductory material looks at opposition to vaccination from a perspective that, frankly, presumes hypocrisy. Many of the same people who were enthusiastic about following the ex-president quickly through Operation Warp Speed are the ones who seem more interested in undermining the new administrative branch than saving their own lives. It's almost as if this is more about who is president than about the positive impact of vaccination during a pandemic. http://www.inappropriateconversations.org/e/48-four-things-i-know/
It's always a risk to post a TalkBack episode from almost 9 years ago without reviewing it first. For Pride this year, I'm taking that risk. Since #IC #107 focused on moments in my past I'm not proud of, interacting with gays without recognizing and checking my ingrained homophobia, I figure this one would have embarrassing elements either way. It is a direct follow-up to the previous TalkBack episode. These two Inappropriate Conversations were intentionally released in the same week originally. There is a connection, along with a follow-up to one story in an episode that would follow a month later. http://www.inappropriateconversations.org/e/107-eulogy-for-homophobia/ http://www.inappropriateconversations.org/e/112-saying-no-to-myself/
This early Inappropriate Conversations episode gently suggests that we don't value imagination sufficiently in a world where entertainment is as pre-packaged as it is today. We take our fun seriously, as Jello Biafra once sang for Dead Kennedys. Perhaps the introduction to this TalkBack episode implies that too many adults are waiting for directions, hesitant to hold elected officials accountable or literally following marching orders to "take back your country" by putting up a "fight" at the U.S. Capitol. The fine line here is somewhere between too much misguided imagination and not enough genuine inspiration.http://www.inappropriateconversations.org/e/66-child%e2%80%99s-play-and-imagination/
Next up on Inappropriate Conversations and Walk The Earth: pandemic lockdown in perspective, and some TalkBack episodes.Some Assembly Required (A Neosurrealist Forsaking a Habit for Lent)
As they were in December 2013, this episode of Inappropriate Conversations and the previous Walk The Earth post are back-to-back within a few days for a reason. The experiment then was looking at ways women have been walled off from leadership in the church from both a religious perspective (#wte) and this more open-ended #IC approach. I had not yet envisioned the long-form Opening The Scriptures episode, but this is clearly a precursor. It's worth noting that the subsequent 3.5-hour podcast looking at the Bible has been broken into six more manageable parts, available on the feed at Spotify and elsewhere from January 2019. http://www.inappropriateconversations.org/e/134-gender-segregation/
Guys, it's been a week. Somehow, Halloween feels like three years ago and the election has made us age 10 years in the span of just a few days. So what better time than to take a little brain break and clown on Emily in Paris? This week we break down episode 3, which is basically a human resources nightmare what with all the conversations Emily has with her boss about sex, lingerie she receives as a gift from a client, and a naked perfume commercial which sparks more office convos about sex, sexism, and whether or not a woman's dream really is to walk along a bridge naked while men admire her. Our dream is to wear clothes. And for you to listen to this episode.

I never took a class in debate or participated in a club when I was in school. I've also never seen it as some sort of sport. To me, matters worth debating should be taken more seriously than that, and we ought to commit to higher standards than anything we've seen on television in decades. I'm not only referring to the presidential election cycle. No, my complaint covers punditry today in its entirety. Introductory material includes perspectives on this and the previous presidential election, recorded on the official election day in 2020 with important references to past Inappropriate Conversations podcasts. http://www.inappropriateconversations.org/e/55-a-better-way-to-debate/ http://www.inappropriateconversations.org/e/190-dear-family-member/ http://www.inappropriateconversations.org/e/195-telling-your-stories-before-its-too-late/ http://www.inappropriateconversations.org/e/24-elections-are-not-horse-races/

More than five years ago, Inappropriate Conversations #157 was released as an unedited nearly two-hour rant about that state of law enforcement and race relations in America at the end of 2014. Clearly, things have not improved. We ought to be ashamed of ourselves for not taking these issues more seriously. It is, after all, clearly a matter a life and death. Different Drummer: Dave Chappelle
The Gooch is back, and it's very inappropriate.
The first venture into TalkBack podcast episodes was thematic, Christmas shows in November-December 2018. It isn't hard to find running themes in past episodes of Inappropriate Conversations. A focus on the impact of gun usage starts here, revisiting October 2015, and will continue later in the month with a story that was 30+ years old in February 2013. I tend to tire very quickly over gun control debates. The conversation always seems to devolve to extremes. Worse, what should be an open discussion on the relationship between rights and responsibilities never starts. If you make it impossible for people to make you happy, people will lose interest in whether you are happy or not. No, I'm not interested in the happiness of people who love objects and use people. It's true regardless of where such people stand on any political spectrum. Some things, once broken, cannot be restored. http://www.inappropriateconversations.org/e/173-seeing-spot-run/
Whether a mission statement is necessary, and what role does it play in the mission itself? July 2010 on Inappropriate Conversations A conversation from before Inappropriate Conversations existed
Now that I've committed to TalkBack episodes being part of the structure going forward, along with new episodes of both Inappropriate Conversations and Walk The Earth, it's a good time to note that no past podcast I've ever recorded seemed quite as set for a reprise as this one, #IC #138. I am surprised that six years have gone by since I was slightly shaken by the news that someone from my high school graduating class had died. Hillary wasn't the first, there have been others since 2014, and inevitably more to come. It seems that Hillary took the chance to tell her story, though, on stage, a year earlier. We are blessed to live in an era where missing that event, and missing the actual events even at school, isn't the last word. To some degree, podcasts and YouTube videos are preserving a record. For now. http://www.inappropriateconversations.org/e/138-missing-someone-i-never-knew/
Considering how prominent sex is on the logo for Inappropriate Conversations, I haven't touched that topic as often as I could. I may explore some reasons why in the next Inappropriate Conversations recording for #IC #222. We'll see. In the meantime, this past episode from 2010 provides valuable background information, recalling a time when the church taking sex education seriously did not have anything to do with protesting, banning, or undermining it.http://www.inappropriateconversations.org/e/14-sex-education-the-protestant-way-then-not-now/Happy 2020!
The previous TalkBack episode included the beginning of an essay called "Should Amendment Stand a Prayer of Success?" It was written in 2000 and shared on this podcast in 2010. Inappropriate Conversations #30 is the rest of that argument. http://www.inappropriateconversations.org/e/30-establishment-of-religion/
As far as I can tell, Inappropriate Conversations #29 is the most downloaded episode in the history of this podcast. I'm not sure why a wide-ranging perspective on the concept of school prayer would get such a response, but I'm pleased to share it here.This episode also qualifies under the heading of topics too large for one recording, so I'll share #IC 30 next, soon, to complete the thought.I describe myself as a radical moderate, using terminology very loosely, and this topic provides a pretty good example. This first episode in particular shares a counterpoint to my position, and most of the 2-part arc is me providing information and criticism to what might be considered my own camp. I believe I have credentials as a Christian to share what Jesus taught to other Christians, for example.And this was just the beginning of the podcast, from the first year in 2010.http://www.inappropriateconversations.org/e/29-my-prayer-for-a-football-game/

Sharing a short promo for the Inappropriate Conversations podcast.
Spoiler alert regarding Avengers and Marvel Cinematic Universe. One of the Life In Hell strips Matt Groening wrote years ago featured his criticism of film critics. One-liners included newspaper critics writing tight capsule reviews and more serious magazine critics wearing sweaters and giving away endings. I don't often wear sweaters, but I do struggle with how to openly discuss subtext without spoilers. For the movie The Sixth Sense, I ended up writing two reviews, one for before you've seen the film and one for after. That seemed to work. At the #p48EXPO #p48NOLA #p48LIVE event this year, I didn't have the time to offer such a dual perspective. If you are behind (as I was until this summer) on Infinity War and Endgame, you've been warned.The primary focus of this episode was looking more deeply at what draws us into the popular art we consume. With movies, for example, the impetus seems to be different for comedy, horror, documentary, etc. What occurred to me about the draw of characters, regardless the actor or director, seemed most significant within the superhero genre. The tie-in with the Different Drummer seemed obvious.As a live show, the format of this one is appropriately different. We dive right in, for one thing, with introduction and theme music coming along the way. For another, I've bookended this file with interstitials from the podcasting suite. Since it takes a few minutes to move one podcast off-stage and another one on, these interstitials tend to focus the audience toward something other than headphones being plugged in and drinks-of-choice being poured. The opener is the intro to Inappropriate Conversations this year, and the closer is one from the next day when I was invited to participate. There is more after the #IC live outro music. Thanks to Taylor and Taffy from Pod Is My Copilot. Bookends, indeed.Different Drummer: Stan Lee"Life's an essay test; we're obliged to give essay answers." (The Author)
Concluding a long TalkBack series to start the year, I'm giving the last word to the Sermon On The Mount. Intentionally, I've done this in the most common English translations I can find, preferring an easily understood paraphrase to any version that makes it sound like Jesus was speaking to some gathering of experts rather than a crowd. Next month, Walk The Earth will resume with new episodes and Inappropriate Conversations after that.
It is not possible for me to look back to February 2012 and Inappropriate Conversations #81 and not think of community. It's particularly true this year. This recording would not have been possible without a strong, supportive online community, one that now seems to be gone. At the same time, another online community, Pride48, is providing deeply meaningful support for its participants at the news that one of our podcasters has died, too young and suddenly. This is the right time for the voices of old friends to be ringing in my ears.RIP, Matthew Ulmen
The TalkBack series in January focused on scripture, theology, and religion with slices of Inappropriate Conversations #150. February will finish this set of callbacks with episodes that function as an Appendix of sorts, supporting material consistent with Opening The Scriptures and taking the Bible seriously. Inappropriate Conversations #131 has a New Testament focus, primarily the story of Peter in the Acts of the Apostles. That, and a strangely controversial Different Drummer.
Having passed the half-way point in sharing Inappropriate Conversations #150 with the 3rd part, the excerpts will be shorter from this point on. Part 4 starts with the question of whether everyone the circles of family and friend were on board with Jesus and his ministry. Far from it.
Following up more quickly with Part 3 of the TalkBack to Inappropriate Conversations #150, in part because the way this portion of that long podcast ties into the section before. Did Jesus ever address sexual orientation during his ministry? No. Or, maybe, by saying nothing at all.
Following the introduction in the first part of this look-back to Inappropriate Conversations #150, it's time to dive in to both the Word and the past episode, at length.As planned, much shorter introductions now that the next TalkBack posts are, essentially, mid-episode.
After spending the holidays sharing TalkBack podcasts related to Christmas, I want to start the new year with a series of TalkBack posts on the longest Inappropriate Conversations podcast released so far. It will take a 3+ hour episode into 6 parts. The original #IC #150 was intentionally long, making the point of quoting scripture at length and in context while trying, as stated right up from, to free Christ from the closet of Christian homophobia. Also, in the introduction I try to answer the question: exactly how big is a billion?
November and December of 2014 included an intense focus on Christmas as a holiday for Inappropriate Conversations, and in many ways this year's TalkBack series is an echo of that time. As I did at the beginning of these look-backs, I'm going to inverse the order of two shows posted back then. A few weeks ago, I did that based on the start of Advent. This time, I'm going to do it based on the combination of Boxing Day, December 26th, and the true beginning of the "12 days of Christmas" starting after the holiday itself. Neither show relies heavily on the calendar date, but it's nice to mix things up. I've noticed that the Different Drummers throughout this series were all musicians. That will change with the next TalkBack post. This one, though, focuses very heavily on the Different Drummer and his music and lyrics.
After several TalkBack episodes from Inappropriate Conversations, this is a Walk The Earth episode that focused on Christmas, with a new intro that I find even more insightful. The words, shared from a different source, are a bit spoilery about Santa.
December 14th as the release date for this TalkBack of Inappropriate Conversations is not a coincidence. Looking back to December 2012, I wanted to speak broadly about secular visions of Nativity, but a mass murder at an elementary school could not be ignored. The episode is segregated, with the sadness and anger at the end. Now, 6 years later, it seems like we've had countless aftershocks to that mass-murder earthquake, and it's fair to ask if we've become numb -- some willingly, valuing possessions over people, and some as a psychological defense mechanism.I also referred to circumstances in the same Connecticut crime a couple of months later, talking about my first experience staring down the barrel of criminal's gun.All the same, Merry Christmas from Inappropriate Conversations and Walk The Earth!
On Saturday, December 8, 2018, CBS will broadcast "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" for the second time this year. It's a perfect time to look back on an Inappropriate Conversations audio commentary soundtrack for the holiday classic.
On the first ever Die Heart Podcast, Jay and Matt discuss what makes Die Hard so amazing, takes a closer look at the opening 10 minutes of the film and discusses inappropriate conversations had in the movie and in daily life.
Far too often, discussions about politics and religion (or even popular culture) are being compromised if not thwarted by blind devotion to entrenched positions. We are becoming more segregated than at any point in my lifetime, not just along arbitrary divisions of race. It's two kinds of news, or even in the minds of some people two kinds of bakeries. Tragically, we are watching an "us versus them" siege play out before our eyes and ears. I've no doubt that I have been impacted, too. Potential listeners of Inappropriate Conversations have, for want of a better phrase, weeded themselves out on shaky religious grounds. And, perhaps, my personal policies like never "un-friending" anyone might make those suspicions seem legitimate. If we can't remain in dialogue, though, then how will we have any real conversations -- inappropriate or otherwise?Different Drummer: Mel Blanc

I recall an exercise that I found unexpectedly challenging: making 100 clear and simple statements about myself that were true and affirming, in the sense of not being negative. I've been sharing parts of this throughout Inappropriate Conversations and Walk The Earth podcasts. This time, I revist that list. Different Drummer: John Pavlovitz
In this episode we talk about It’s Always Sunny, the worst MMA fight we have ever seen, the upcoming UFC fights, and answer your questions! Audio is still messed up guys, we will get it fixed for future episodes.
My Sunday School teacher when I was in high school worked for the local newspaper where he was, among other things, the music critic. A good guy, he wasn't the type to denounce rock 'n' roll as "the devil's music" or anything like that. On the other hand, he did tell me that I would one day grow out of my interest in early Black Sabbath and no longer have any use for their albums. Well, I have since bought the original eight "Ozzy years" albums on CD, so that prediction completely missed the mark. No, I still love many aspects of early Black Sabbath and never hesitate to share that love. I have some friends who have made the most of the phrase, "mix tapes mean 'I love you.'" That came to mind when I stitched together this last (for this year anyway) Halloween tribute on Inappropriate Conversations. Different Drummer: Rory Guy
On this episode of Ramble Redhead, I had the honor to talk with Greg from Inappropriate Conversations and Walk the Earth. He and his wife made the trip to Las Vegas for the Pride 48 Expo and gave his thoughts on the weekend. […]
Two years ago, I made a head decision -- an intellectual choice -- to attend a Pride48 event as soon as schedules could be coordinated. The time lag says a lot about my vacation schedule and nothing about my resolve. This year, I can say as a heart decision -- a more spiritual confidence -- that it was one of the better plans I've made. Anyone who has followed previous vacation episodes knows that my wife and I make excellent travel plans, too. So, while I normally don't do recap shows, it just makes sense to talk about "what I did on my summer vacation" as a follow-up to the original Proud To Know You episode on Inappropriate Conversations (#128). Different Drummer: Kathy Baldock Canyon Walker Connections story on evol = Pride48
The Walk The Earth podcast hit a milestone of sorts in recent weeks with an episode recorded before a live audience. Seems like a good time for Inappropriate Conversations to look back at the still-building history of Walk The Earth, including the mission of the show and the questions I have attempted to answer. Different Drummer: Francis of Assisi
The birth of a pseudonym tends to be all about necessity, but the death of a pen name is rarely chronicled. I've been speaking, here and there, about The Author since the second Inappropriate Conversations podcast. Here is the rest of that story, in a surrealistic way. Different Drummer: M. C. Escher
Rather than noting what is in this World Storytelling Day episode, I'll note what is regrettably missing. * Not much personal storytelling, despite a commitment to return to nostalgia a few weeks ago. * Repeating some material from Inappropriate Conversations #50 about Lilo & Stitch. * Insufficient callout to the band The Peddlers for the theme song to The Lost Continent. * Planned but forgot to connect the "sound" of Dana Gillespie to Candye Kane. * Missed an opportunity to feature at least a clip from the blues singing of the Different Drummer. * Perhaps even fell short on fully noting the impact of an actress and costume designer on me at a young age. Despite missing some elements, the "monsters and dragons" topic for storytellers this March 20 brought out my memories of good monsters, both literally and ironically. Different Drummer: Dana Gillespie
Storytelling has always been a part of Inappropriate Conversations. Sometimes that involves telling the stories of others to make a point. Other times it truly is personal storytelling in the realm of nostalgia. I learned an important lesson this month about the power of personal storytelling, as if answers to questions I was raising might be coming from the grave. Different Drummer: Frank Capra
Next up on Inappropriate Conversations: human sacrifice. Take Him With You #208 has valuable background material.
True fidelity probably isn't about never being in a position to say "yes" to a temptation. Don't get me wrong, that's a smart way to live. Fidelity means a bit more, though, when you've summoned the strength to say "no" to such a temptation. I can speak to this from experience, and I'll refer to three specific occasions. One story I've never mentioned before on Inappropriate Conversations. Another is a follow-up to a story a partially relayed in #IC 107 "Eulogy For Homophobia." Even further back, the last story refers to characters (in every sense of the word) that I introduced in #IC 52 "First Person Comedy." There is a sense in which the words "I didn't" are just as important as the words "I do." Different Drummer: James Joyce
From Wikipedea: "Pretty in Pink" is a song by the English rock band The Psychedelic Furs, originally released in 1981 as a single from the band's second album, Talk Talk Talk. The song inspired the 1986 film of the same name and a re-recorded version of the song was included on the film's soundtrack. Release and reception The original version of "Pretty in Pink" peaked at number 43 on the UK Singles Chart in July 1981.[1] Allmusic writer Bill Janovitz credits producer Steve Lillywhite for finding "the ideal sound for the band, with a perfect blend of classic pop, punk, and art rock elements".[2] Janovitz called it "the definitive take" of the song.[2] Thanks to Greg Blanchard of the Inappropriate Conversations podcast for the suggestion.

A little more than two and a half years ago, I didn't own a microphone and had never recorded an MP3 file. My experience as a podcaster was limited to the role of listener and, occasionally, a caller on live internet broadcasts. Now, 100 episodes later, I'm telling the story of Inappropriate Conversations through the voice of other shows, friends and fans. The extended length comes from more than 30 minutes of clips from me and others, none of which have appeared before on this show. Different Drummer: Richard Smith
As a storyteller, I did something I prefer to avoid in Inappropriate Conversations #79 by not finishing a story. That was partly about running short of time. Mainly, though, it was because the story took an abrupt turn as I realized something that stopped me in my tracks. I've heard this called "epiphany" in literary criticism, where the short stories of James Joyce provide excellent examples. It also happens in real life. I'm often amazed at how even a small and simple piece of information can change not only perspectives but the very direction of our life-stories. Different Drummer: Paul McCrane
Many times I heard an old adage when I was growing up. Certain topics were not acceptable at the dinner table. For example, it was always impolite to bring up discussion about politics, religion, or sex. That mindset is not serving us well. We have become so segmented as a society! Ignoring other people's views is far too easy. It must no longer be taboo or “politically incorrect” to open discussions about politics, religion, sexuality, etc.
