In the United States 1 out 3 young people are arrested at least once by age 23 - this could be as high as 41% research reveals. “Getting arrested is much more complicated than just showing up” Julio Briones tell us in Surviving Arrest: The Complete Guide. Julio hosts An Ounce of Prevention podcast, he is also a Personal Crisis Manager, Coach, and is the founder and CEO of AnswerMan Speciality Services. Julio has an inspirational story; he embodies the advice and life lessons he offers. On this episode we explore the potential crises that can result from being arrested and incarcerated. From initial contact with the criminal justice system, through to spending time behind bars, Julio tells us of the importance of having a plan and support systems in place. We also talk about life after incarceration, the issues that offenders face and how reintegration in the labour market could be made easier.   We also have a Pop-Culture Check-in with Paul.

This week Matt chats with Kristaps Andrejsons, from the Eastern Border Podcast, about the Soviet Union’s mass athletics program. Sport is always political, by examining the intentions behind the program we learn about the socio-political and moralistic ideologies of the Soviet Union. Or, Matt just wanted to resurrect another undergrad paper!   We start off by getting to know Kristaps, why he started his podcast and find out what brand of imperialism he hates more! He also introduces us to a surprise guest, Uncle Gundars who was visiting from Mother Russia! Before jumping into the pre-Bolshevik sporting context, we hear Daughter of the Northern Wind from the Latvian symphonic/melodic/gothic/folk metal and rock band Oceanpath.   Kristaps kicks things off by describing life in Tsarist Russia, while Matt describes the limited athletics happening prior to WW1. 1917-20’s was an era of tumultuous upheaval in Russia with revolutions, civil war and non-stop Cake Parties. Despite this situation, what would become the Soviet Union established a trailblazing public health system (The GTO) that ‘encouraged’ athletic participation. Results were recorded, quantified and measured against the results of other groups as a way of formalizing, or manufacturing, the New Soviet Man (Homo Sovieticus).   This program became so ‘popular’ that professionalism and world-class finishes were attached to the model in the 1950’s (part 2) allowing the Soviets to dominate international competition for the next 4 decades; even being exported to the satellite states and emulated by the West to such an extent that “modern athletics” is very Soviet. We wrap up by hearing another track from Oceanpath, this one is aptly named The Puppet Show.   Thanks again to Kristaps from the Eastern Border Podcast for joining me in the deep dive, did you know he also fences?!? Thanks to Uncle Gundars for sharing your stories and to Oceanpath for the fiery tunes that went so well with these episodes. You can find Oceanpath: On Facebook @Oceanpath, Soundcloud, or their website.   Citations: Sport, Politics, and Communism James Riordan Manchester University Press, 1991 http://library.la84.org/SportsLibrary/Olympika/Olympika_1993/olympika0201c.pdf   Be Strong Perry Barry (gofundme.com/hello-cancer-wtf) #hellocancerWTF   -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow #PodernFamily #Podmosphere, #UnderDogPods, and #2PodsADay on Twitter and Facebook for the best in indie podcasts.

On this episode, Phil sits down with Sean McGuire, the creator and host of the Share A Slice Podcast. In the first part, Sean tell us about his podcast, atheism and what it’s like talking with people from all walks of life. We get to hear a few of Sean’s stories about talking with the head of an UFO religion, sex workers, drag queens, and someone who prefers to pee and poop in her tent. Who are we to judge?! In the second part of our chat we dig into the notions of countercultures and subcultures and wonder if they hold revolutionary potential. Should everyone be involved in subcultural experiences? Maybe countercultures aren’t for everyone. Is the intention of counterculture to affect change, or simply to have a non-mainstream lifestyle? It’s an episode all about sharing stories and sharing a slice of life.   If you enjoyed our chat, make sure to subscribe, rate and review Sean’s podcast. Also, follow Share A Slice on Twitter @SlicesPodcast and on Facebook @ShareASlicePodcast and on Instagram @ShareASlicePodcast.   We thank Katreese Barnes for the music on this episode. Katreese is a music director, composer, producer, arranger, pianist, vocalist & saxophonist. If you don’t know Katreese Barnes by name, you certainly know her music. Two time Emmy award winner, a Grammy nominated pianist, producer and composer, Katreese has been a hidden hand at orchestrating some of our cherished cultural sounds. Katreese is currently working on Welcome 2 My House, a live streamed internet show that she created and where she surprises people in their living rooms with their favorite artist singing their favorite song.

At times, our furry friends bring us joy, pleasure and happiness. Their company is valued, and they too are valued members of our homes. Other times, they bring us closer to understanding why not sweating the small stuff is an important life lesson. As humans we think we have the benefit of being intelligent and rational. But are we alone in that regard? From the social sciences, humanities and art comes an episode full of love for all species. We are joined by the creator of The Species Podcast, Macken Murphy, to discuss his show, his views on veganism, and the intersection of science and the animal kingdom. We are then joined by Tracy for our first round-table discussion. It gets heated as we discuss the merits of cloning, banning certain breeds of dogs, and which species make good house pets (Hint: It’s most definitely not polar bears!).   We thank Michael Harren, a Brooklyn-based composer and performer for letting us play his music on this episode. Michael combines elements of classical composition with experimental electronics and storytelling, to create hypnotic and boldly intimate work that walks the line between Laurie Anderson, Peter Gabriel and Dead Can Dance. He is also the host on The Mikey Pod. You can find that fine show at mikeypod.com/, and you can find Michael’s music at michaelharren.com.

Games of chance have long been a part of societies. From dice, spinning tops, or playing cards, we have always wanted to win big on luck.

On this episode we talk about teaching practices and the idea that social media has a place in the classroom. We discuss our views of pedagogy (the art, science, and even craft of teaching), classroom power and dynamics between educators and students, and the politics of education. Why aren’t educators turning to social media in the classroom? Can social media result in more classroom engagement, exposure to our social world, and, even, democratize the learning process? It’s ambitious. But is it totally out of the realm of the possible? We tend to think not.   For an example of some of the practical benefits, as well as the challenges, of using social media in the classroom see: https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1186%2Fs41239-017-0041-6.pdf   We thank Gabrielle Giguere, singer, songwriter, artist extraordinaire, and all-around great person, for letting us play some tracks off of Her Harbour’s album ‘Go Gently Into The Night’.

Guest co-host Anthony Von Dessauer, creator of the popular podcast The Curse of Silverlake, joins Phil to discuss music preservation, art, the potential impacts of technology, and the stratified character of our society. How art gets commercially made and distributed is a contested domain. Luckily for us avid music lovers, an Archive.org project seeks to digitize and democratize some of the greatest music ever made. Join us as we explore the fuzzy boundaries of who produces, who consumes, and who profits when art becomes more widely available. Somehow we managed to also talk about driverless trucks, peeing in a bottle, and a fantastic metal band Cyborg Octopus. We intended to talk about a 78rpm record project, we swear.   Links to songs we played, which are all repositoried at http://great78.archive.org: https://archive.org/details/78_la-bamba_marga-llergo-rafael-mendez---his-trumpet-and-pan-american-orchestra_gbia0008140a https://archive.org/details/78_mack-the-knife_louis-armstrong-his-all-stars-louis-armstrong-blitzstein-weill-t_gbia0030848b https://archive.org/details/78_minnie-the-moocher-theme-song_cab-calloway-and-his-orch.-cab-calloway-c.-calloway_gbia0003944a https://archive.org/details/78_house-of-the-rising-sun_josh-white-and-his-guitar_gbia0001628b   Concluding thought: Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without. ― Confucius   -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow #PodernFamily #Podmosphere, #UnderDogPods, and #2PodsADay on Twitter and Facebook for the best in indie podcasts.

This week we deep dive into the world of resilience. From Francis Bacon’s musings of how sound bounces off walls, to the proposal that colouring can help block the nasty world around us: we explore the etymology, the history, and some implications of the resilience turn. Even our game of ‘What Do You Hate More’ was (unintentionally) inspired by the notions of risk, vulnerability, and recovery. So do what you do, ‘cuz we’re all just trying to cope.   The book Phil mentioned is titled ‘The Resilience Divident: Being Strong in a World Where Things Go Wrong’ by Judith Rosin: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23545528-the-resilience-dividend   We thank Bonjay for kindly allowing us to play their songs: Ingenue, Stumble, Creepin, Shotta.

We get all up in the art on this episode. Matt visited the National Art Gallery in beautiful Ottawa, ON. We get a walkthrough, you get one of our most cynical takes yet. From First Nations, Métis & Cree artwork, to the paintings of the iconic group of seven, we just can’t wrap our heads around the colonial couplings found in the gallery. Luckily, Emily Carr saved us from total despair. That is, until we try to make sense of postmodern art. It’s like finding lost money in your jacket pocket: confusing. Really confusing.   To follow along as we dissect some art, check-out the pics Matt took while on his tour: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1j_AY8KzuF8S5u1rruQovVQsuA-Gl1s2T?usp=sharing   We thank Evil Can Evil for kindly allowing us to play their songs: Winter Rider, Power, Love & Hate, and I’m Alive. Blues filtered through a 1970s' distortion, with a hint of 1960s' rock. A voice full of blues and smoke. Drums that smash the permafrost. A bass that moves snowdrifts. Guitars that lash stronger than a boreal wind. The strength of the North, with the soul of blues and the energy of rock. Evil Can Evil, the nordic rock's ambassadors. Evil Can Evil is a Quebec City quartet founded in 2007. The band is made up of: JF, vocalist and guitarist, Math, drummer, Manuel, bassist and Seb, rhythm guitar. Through stories of dangerous women, broken hearts, identity crises, territorial dispossession and courageous snow plows, Evil Can Evil builds a universe breathing a new life into the tired stoner rock genre. Stoner rock is dead, hail nordic rock. If Evil Can Evil doesn't make you want to dance, then you're more frozen than a mammoth prisoner of the Siberian soil. Evil Can Evil can be found on: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/evilcanevilband/ | Website www.evilcanevil.com | Bandcamp https://evilcanevil.bandcamp.com/album/evil-can-evil | iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/evil-can-evil/781711591   If you enjoy podcasts and need a better way to find, review and share shows you love check-out Podknife at https://podknife.com.

In this episode we offer up our resolutions and predictions for 2018. Matt is determined to make this year his most focused ever and Phil doesn’t think the world will end, yet. With a heartfelt round of confessions, we agree that being warm is worse than cold. Typical. We decided to end things with a long overdue round of thank-you’s to all those who have graced us with iTunes and Facebook reviews. Kicking off the year sayin’, Thanks! We thank David Wagner for kindly allowing us to play a few songs. Computer Hash is the brainchild of David from the tiny town of Fenwick, Michigan. Computer Hash creates techno and experimental electronic music littered with a variety of original audio samples recorded on cassette tape, many over a decade ago. Most of these audio samples are from various parties that David attended with cassette recorder in hand, ready to capture interesting drunken rants for future use in music. Recently, David has been working to promote and create new music under the Computer Hash umbrella. You can find Computer Hash on: Soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/user-629368065 | Facebook https://www.facebook.com/computerhash/ We ended the show with “All Kinds of Crazy” by Codie Prevost. Codie is a four time Canadian Country Music Association nominee and a six time Saskatchewan Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year winner. He releases music on his own label, Good Spirit Records. He has recently released a new studio album entitled Radio.

On this episode we review 2017, a year punctuated with the bad, the ugly & the awkward. From Trump and #MeToo to the Phoenix pay system catastrophe and no more Sears holiday catalogues, we talk about key moments in politics and science, showing how 2017 was another year with far reaching impacts for all of us. 2017 was also Canada’s 150th birthday. As Canadians, we think back on what that meant to us and provide some advice for those of you looking to build a $4.3M outdoor hockey rink. 2017 also brought two births: Matt’s baby girl, Violet and, this podcast! In what will become a yearly tradition, we close the episode by talking about all our 2017 podcast appearances, the interviews we did throughout the year, and the great folks we had the chance to meet. Here’s to a wonderful 2018. Happy New Year everyone. Be kind.

From Toronto, ON, Canada, the sister act of Slammerkin combines electronic lo-fi synth waves, dreamy soundscapes, catchy bass riffs, and melodic vocals to paint sonic images that lead us on epic journeys. If you have an imagination and a pair of ears, you won’t be disappointed by Slammerkin’s debut album ‘All The Lasers Are Mine’. Make sure to check out and support Liza & Sam’s music.

We all celebrate the holiday season differently. That’s a good thing. On this episode Matt & Phil share their holiday traditions. From savory meat pies, to sugary cookies, to cups filled with rum and eggnog, they show how good food and good people make the holidays a special time of the year. During the second half of the show, Phil connects with friends of the podcast to talk about their holiday traditions. We wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season. We thank Alex Diskin for kindly allowing us to play three of his songs: Heist, Outlaw, and A.A.A. Make sure to check out Alex’s music and if you’re in the central New York, USA area why not book him for a gig? We tried to think of a more perfect way to host a party over the holidays and, quite frankly, couldn’t. Get Alex playing guitar and signing and you’ll be entertained for hours. Then get him to tell zombies stories. He does that really well too.

Matt & Phil chat on a cross-country check-up this week. Phil opens up about his life as an aspiring PhD, Matt tells us how to travel with a young one, and we debate the merits and demerits of compression socks and tourists. Yup, it got a little silly. Go figure. We do settle down and put on our serious faces to discuss how we, individually and collectively, experience space and time. Seen as social aspects of our world, how we experience space and time is highly dependant on the structures that surround us. However, we also have agency to navigate space and time, allowing for seemingly endless opportunities. With a different view of space and time, is it possible to think about creativity, productivity, technological advancements, and (dis)abilities differently? We thank Matt Steady for kindly allowing us to play three of his songs: Theory of Ruins (from the new album “Theory of Ruins”) The Roamer (from the album “Blood is Thicker Than Gold”) Time (Original song written by Jeff Black) Website www.mattsteady.com | Twitter @mattstoicsteady | Facebook @mattsteadymusic | To see behind the scenes videos, get songs before everyone else, and experience the music scene first hand consider becoming a patron to support Matt’s art: https://patreon.com/mattsteady   Concluding thought:  In space, what came earlier continues to underpin what follows ― Henri Lefebvre, The Production of Space -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow #PodernFamily #Podmosphere and #2PodsADay on Twitter and Facebook for the best in indie podcasts.

  Matt & Phil have been physically disconnected lately. That means their neural nets are out of alignment. Rough times. Luckily they had the chance to talk with Megan, co-host of Oh No! Lit Class. The discussion meandered around podcasting, life, politics, teaching, paper clips, literature and, finally, Franz Kafka. There was a point to all this, it’s just not obvious. How Kafkaesk.

While Matt & Phil yearn for longer summers their special guests would like some of the soft, fluffy, sticky, cold, frozen, lifeless substance we sometimes call snow. To be honest, most of the time we call it (insert expletive of choice). Enough about weather. Lindsay & Perry Johnson, co-hosts of the Hello Life WTF podcast, join us to talk about empathy and communication in relationships, disney movies, video games, baseball, squeaky chairs, and what drives them as a couple to podcast. Lindsay & Perry offer their top recommendations for new parents. Be warned: some of the advice ain't easy to follow. We laughed, we cried, we had a great time. This episode also has a big reveal...real big...HUGE...AMAZING...THE BEST, EVER!!

We have yet to fully understand or realize the breadth and depth of Gord Downie’s influence. Musically, poetically, socially, personally, Gord Downie was always more than the frontman for The Tragically Hip: he was a Canadian icon. We connected with the guys over at the Skip & Josh Podcast to talk about the Hip, swap stories and have a good old fashioned tribute to a great Canadian from Kingston, Ontario. This is part 1 of our chat. Be sure to check out the second part of our conversation, talking about politics and sports, on The Skip and Josh Podcast.

A few things have happened since our last patio session: daylight savings time kicked in, the trees got naked, some snow fell, and it started to get too cold to actually podcast outdoors. So with a slight sigh, we grabbed our gear and went inside for the winter. The good news about having to spend winter inside, which is almost 9 months of the year where we live, is that we can finally get back to our table top games. And what better way to start the gaming season than with a special guest for our very first SIMply A Chat episode. All the way from sunny California, we connected with Anthony von Dessauer the creator of The Curse of Silverlake. We talked homebrew table top games, collective storytelling and so, so much more. We even played a game of Friend or Foe that may well warn everyone of the evil that lurks among us. Or not.  Make sure to subscribe to The Curse of Silverlake and why not leave Anthony a 5 star iTunes review while you're at it, do that here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-curse-of-silverlake-an-rpg-podcast/id989621809?mt=2Like and follow The Curse of Silverlake on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SilverlakeRPG/For artwork, players handbook and more, go here: http://silverlake.edgeoftheweb.net/ The amazing outro music is a song called Summer of 83 by Indianapolis, Indiana's very own Mikey Mason.

Recorded outside on October 25th before the weather gets too cold. Matt & Phil decided they wanted to be current. In with the cool kids. Men of their time. In the know... So that meant, obviously, talking about one of the most anticipated movie releases this year: Blade Runner 2049 (Dir. Denis Villeneuve). Matt took one for the team and went to the cinema to see it on on the big screen. Spoiler alert: he left the overpriced popcorn scented auditorium feeling a little...muh. So how does one get excited about this new Blade Runner? By talking about Philip K. Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep of course. Once you’re down that rabbit hole, why not see how it relates to the original Blade Runner released in 1982. Luckily for you, that’s what Matt & Phil did along with their signature social science, humanities and arts spin on the whole franchise. Why be current, when you could be ahead of the times.

  On this patio session Phil talks about home renovations with Matt. He's no expert, but wanted to share a thing or two about the basics. Who knew he was also good with his hands? Key takeaway: do it right the first time. Second takeaway: contract out when you have to. Third takeaway: the details are important. Sounds a lot like writing a book. Actually, it's probably nothing like writing a book. Well, maybe. Uh oh.  -------------------------------------- Patio Sessions are where we sit down to chat with little to no prep work done.

This episode started out as solely Banned Books week themed. As it happens, it got out of hand. So instead, here’s a social science take on the censorship, banning, restriction and outright prohibition of works of art and speech. From Stan Cohen to Michel Foucault, we offer a few frameworks and examples to help make sense of how we govern censorship. Music abounds in this one. Fitting to play songs that some folks fought for us never to hear again.

This is the conclusion to Networks of Conspiracies Part 1. We kick it off with a discussion of the 1980’s political, economic  and cultural context to help understand the war on drugs. We then dive into the conspiratorial plots of the 1990’s: Tupac, Biggie, Princess Diana and Kurt Cobain. We end with a discussion and a montage of newsroom sound bites from the most organized series of events in recent United States History: September 11th 2001. We get a little emotional about the whole affair, then ask some tough questions about the dark corners of the internet.

While we continue to podcast in the sleepy woods, the world continues to spin - perhaps out of control. Good thing Matt brought a special guest along to this episode, because Phil seems mad about recent events and wants some answers. We talk politics and some current events before getting into a new recurring segment. We tackle Youtube or U2: friends or foes? Revolutionary Forces of Change (15:35) Special guest Evan Ferguson is on to discuss Spain’s civil war and the workers’ social revolution of 1936. We talk about the forces that fought fascism and momentarily created an egalitarian ideal. Evan offers us an overview of some of the main players. We discuss the social and cultural aspects of the implementation of anarchist and libertarian socialist organizational principles throughout various portions of Spain. Paying attention to the regional realities of the revolution,  we debate a few potential critiques of the movement before drawing attention to George Orwell’s beloved account of the civil war and his admiration of the social revolution. We end by drawing connections between the Spanish revolutionary ideals of the past and present day Kurdish revolutionary forces.  Suggested Reading: Francisco J. Romero Salvadó’s The Spanish Civil War : origins, course, and outcomes Sam Dolgoff (editor) The Anarchist Collectives: Workers’ Self-Management in the Spanish Revolution, 1936–1939 Juan Gomez Casas’ Anarchist Organisation: The History of the F.A.I.

We’re slowly recovering from the last few weeks. It must have something to do with the eclipse. Matt’s family is travelling so that means he can eat, sleep and podcast. Phil is back from a short trip to Montreal that involved a grilled cheese. Before getting on with our 25th episode, we send out some special messages and get into our podcasting friends’ top 5 baseball movie list. Public Scholarship & Engaged Research (13:13) We trace the concept of public sociology, or public scholarship at large, by assessing the ongoing relevance of Michael Burawoy’s call to action during his 2004 American Sociological Association (ASA) Presidential address. From his typology of practices, to his insistence that public scholarship requires a particular political standpoint, we review and critique some of Burawoy’s 11 theses. Is his call to sharpen the axe still relevant today? Which public or publics are included/excluded, and what role do researchers play at defining those boundaries? Can something like Nancy Fraser’s concept of counterpublic help the program of public scholarship reconcile its different audiences? We also consider a few of the potential tensions social media brings to public scholarship, offering our thoughts on the delicate balancing act that online forums and communities can entail.  Suggested Reading: Michael Burawoy ‘For Public Sociology’: http://burawoy.berkeley.edu/Public%20Sociology,%20Live/Burawoy.pdf Rob Borofsky ‘Why A Public Anthropology’: http://www.publicanthropology.org/WaPA/chapter1.pdf Charles R.

Lit Class, which is probably more addictive than any street drug; a new podcast from a fellow Canadian called Salty Canadian that offers rants, reviews and stories.  Concluding thought:  At any given moment, public opinion is a chaos of superstition, misinformation and prejudice - Gore Vidal   Follow #PodernFamily, #Podmosphere and #2PodsADay on Twitter and Facebook for the best in indie podcasts.

Top 5 lists serve a precise purpose: they tell us what’s cool. David Letterman put out his top 10 lists night after night, and everyone fell in love. So, with a feeling of nostalgia, we decided to offer you our Top 5. From procrastination activities (or strategies) to podcasting pet-peeves and from cooking tips to favorite baseball movies, you’ll find that we seldom agree on stuff. And that’s a bonus.    We truly hope you enjoy it! Check out #podernfamily #podmosphere and #2PodsADay for the best in indie podcasts. Listen more. Listen Indie. Want to join the “IMDB for podcasts”?

  Our first repeat guest is Josh Hallmark from the Our Americana, and The Karen & Ellen Letters Podcasts. We've invited him back to talk to us about his #2PodsADay campaign that has been gaining real momentum in the podcasting world. 2PodsADay brings much needed attention to indie podcasts by introducing two episodes a day from two indie podcasts from May 15th-June 13th. We also get lots of updates on his shows, and what he has learned along this fantastical podcast journey!    Podcasting Smarter Tips & Updates From Josh:  Josh encourages podcasters to treat their podcast like a business from the beginning if your goal is to someday earn a living from it. You have to pound the pavement and not treat like a hobby, or it wil be a hobby.  Rather than whine about the plight of indie podcasts and their challenge in getting the attention that commercial networks, celebrities, and public radio get, Josh started the 2 Pods A Day campaign. Check it out, and help keep up the momentum that Josh started!  For better engagement, Josh recommends incorporating yoru fans into your show. It means carving out significant time to give your audience the attention it wants anddeserves.  The Karen & Ellen Letters will start their second and final season in November. The show has been a whirlwind of surprises for him and his audience, and what he has learned in the process contradicts all of his intial theories about the four characters from the letters.  He almost gave up his desire to do a true crime podcast because he felt the genre was getting over-saturated. Luckily, he discovered a unique approach to the genre that will allow him to produce a unique show. True Crime BullSh*t will debut in the near future.  When his workload got too much with his most profitable show, Our Americana, he found a way to produce a different kind of episode that is easier to produce and will allow him to keep the show consistent.  He is so excited about his upcoming podcast which compares the stories of former public access celebrities with modern YouTube stars.  The season finale of the Karen & Ellen Letters Podcast will be performed live at DC PodFest in November!    Keep is with all of Josh's shows via the Our American Network. We can't wait to see what he accomplishes next!
