We're looking back at the comic book scene of forty years ago, and we've brought in a special guest to help: ESO Network Director (and longtime comic book fan) Mike Faber. The big story of 1985 was Crisis on Infinite Earths, but we cover much more, including: The New Teen Titans, Justice League Detroit, the trial of the Flash, Elvira's House of Mystery, Secret Wars II, Heroes for Hope, the silliness of Ambush Bug, the genius of Alan Moore (Swamp Thing, Miracleman), and the independent stuff too (Love and Rockets, Cerebus, DNAgents, Jon Sable Freelance, and those crazy Ninja Turtles).

We mark the 100th episode of Secular Left with a reading from the show manifesto that was read in Episode 1 in April 2020. We highlight its birth during a tumultuous time marked by political uncertainty and a public health crisis. The initial goal was to provide a platform to voice critical perspectives against the tide of misinformation and extreme conservatism proliferating in mainstream discourse, especially during the latter stages of the 1st Trump administration. We also revisit memorable moments throughout the first episodes, like the establishment of our guiding manifesto, which articulates our commitment to progressive values and the importance of secularism in navigating social issues.Our guest is Dr. Juhem Navarro-Rivera, Political scientist and partner at Socialanalitica Research, who walks us through the latest Pew Research Religious Landscape Survey. He sheds light on the trends reflected in the Pew survey, most notably the rise of what he terms "cradle seculars." This demographic, comprised of individuals raised without religious affiliation who remain non-religious into adulthood, is growing at an unprecedented rate. The survey indicates an impressive upward trajectory: from 16% of the population identifying as secular in 2007 to nearly 29% in 2024. This surge challenges long-standing assumptions about religious identity, suggesting that many young people are increasingly less likely to return to religious practices as they age.Delving into methodological considerations, Dr. Navarro-Rivera discusses the shift from telephone surveys to more inclusive methods incorporating online and paper formats. This change may have important implications for survey responses, particularly concerning sensitive topics like religious affiliation. We explore the effect of social stigma on reporting non-religious identities, emphasizing the need for transparency in polling methodologies to achieve more accurate insights.As we unpack the nuances of the survey, our guest emphasizes the significance of understanding the growing secular identity not merely in terms of percentages but as a profound cultural shift representing approximately 76 million individuals in the U.S. We examine the evolving landscape of religious affiliation, noting a decline in Christian identification among younger demographics, and discuss how these trends can inform strategies for fostering secular communities that resonate with new generations.Full Show Notes & LinksSend us a textSupport the showSubscribe to our free newsletterCheck out our MerchFollow us on BlueskyFind us on Twitter(for now) Find us on InstagramFind us on Counter SocialFind us on Mastadon

If you grew up in or around the bizarro state of Rhode Island, you might remember the Warwick Musical Theatre. For decades, this tent-style venue (with a rotating circular stage in the middle) hosted concerts, comedy, musicals, and even wrestling. (Guess how many times Liberace performed there. No, you're low. Guess again.) And back in the 80s, this is where some of us first saw Weird Al, the Monkees, and oh yeah, Air Supply. So let's take a look at the whole wild history of the Warwick tent, which alas, has been gone for about a quarter century. (These days a giant hardware store is there, in case you need 8,000 hammers.) But in our hearts, Laura Branigan and Billy Ocean are playing there RIGHT NOW. The Flopcast website! The ESO Network!

Amanda Quintero, an economist and author, is our guest and we explore her powerful new book, "We Said Farewell." Having left Venezuela during its tumultuous transition into authoritarianism, Amanda shares her personal journey and the inspiration behind her collection of fictionalized short stories. The narratives stem from real experiences of her friends, illustrating the dire consequences of political oppression and the erosion of democratic values in Venezuela.Amanda wrote the novel with a desire to document the struggle for freedom and to counter the prevailing narratives that misrepresent the Venezuelan reality. Through the stories, she captures the complexities of life under an authoritarian regime, weaving together the frustrations of her own experiences with those of her friends to create compelling narratives steeped in truth and emotional resonance.The heart-wrenching accounts of kidnappings, political imprisonment, and the gradual disintegration of the rule of law serve as stark reminders of how quickly a democracy can devolve into tyranny.Throughout our conversation, we discuss the broader implications of these stories, as Amanda insights how authoritarianism manifests in various contexts, including the United States. Her reflections on personal experiences encourage listeners to recognize the fragility of democratic institutions and how complacency can lead to disastrous outcomes. The exploration of economic inequality as a root cause of political instability further enriches our discussion, offering nuanced perspectives on the intersection of economics and governance.Amanda expresses her hopes for readers to grasp the speed at which democracies can crumble and the critical importance of safeguarding rights and freedoms.

Continuing our look back at 1975 (which was just about fifty years ago, according to most historians), let's see what was on television. Specifically we're looking at the prime time schedule for March 30, 1975, which just happened to be Easter night. So the three networks offered a mix of special programming (The Ten Commandments, The Wizard of Oz, and a horrifying holiday Waltons rerun) and typical mid-70s action shows (Six Million Dollar Man, McCloud). Watch closely for special guest stars like John Ritter (pre-Jack Tripper) and Gavan O'Herlihy (post-Chuck Cunningham). Was it the greatest night in television history? Absolutely not. But it was 1975, and it was all we had. The Flopcast website! The ESO Network! The Flopcast on Facebook! The Flopcast on Instagram! The Flopcast on Bluesky! The Flopcast on Mastadon!

The latest In Touch With iOS with Dave is joined by guests,Jill McKinley, Guy Serle, and Marty Jencius. We discuss Apple's Vision Pro updates, including UI improvements and Apple Intelligence features, debating its commercial viability. We review iOS 18.4 and macOS betas, enhanced DJ integration in Apple Music, and Marty's experience with the iPhone 16e C1 modem. Lighter topics include Apple Car interest rates, T-Mobile's MLB.tv offer, and Apple Music Classical updates. We wrap up by highlighting Apple TV+'s new series “The Studio” and promoting the upcoming Macstock conference in July.

The updates promise sharper interfaces and smoother spatial experiences, but we can't help but speculate about those elusive Apple Intelligence features lurking on the horizon. While some are dazzled by the enhancements, others remain unconvinced—sparking a spirited debate over whether Vision Pro can justify its hefty price tag and overcome lukewarm reviews. The question lingers: Can Vision Pro truly redefine spatial computing? Shifting focus, we explore the newest iOS 18.4 and macOS betas, where priority notifications and ambient music control take center stage. Jill tests out the new sketch features, delivering a candid review of their usability and what she hopes to see polished by the final release. Meanwhile, the Apple Music app steps up its game with improved DJ integration, aiming to stake its claim as a heavyweight in the music scene. Marty then takes us on a real-world test drive with the iPhone 16e and its shiny new C1 modem during a conference in Orlando. The connectivity results? Surprising and impressive. We dissect his findings, comparing them to other devices and contemplating what these performance gains mean for Apple's hardware evolution. With WWDC looming on the horizon, we can't help but speculate about the big reveals and potential breakthroughs that could reshape user experiences. Switching gears to lighter fare, we chat about the Apple Car's savings account interest rates and how they stack up against competitors. Nostalgia kicks in when we reminisce about T-Mobile's annual MLB.tv offer, a testament to loyalty perks that keep customers hooked year after year. As we wrap up, we delve into Apple's entertainment ecosystem with updates on Apple Music Classical and the latest Apple TV+ comedy series, “The Studio.” We celebrate Apple's relentless push for innovation across content and subscription services while encouraging listeners to join us at the upcoming Macstock conference this July—a must-attend event for Apple enthusiasts.

It's a simple enough show this week, kids. We're just looking at a bunch of movies from half a century ago. 1975 was a game-changing year in film. Early 70s trends like blaxploitation and dystopian sci-fi were about to be swept aside, as a certain giant Spielbergian shark ushered in the blockbuster era. But meanwhile, the year still offered some genuine classics (Dog Day Afternoon, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest), some cult classics (Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Rocky Horror Picture Show), some Disney for the kids (Apple Dumpling Gang, Escape to Witch Mountain), giant spiders, crazy mamas, blazing stewardesses, switchblade sisters, and plenty of Pam Grier. So pop in a Glen Campbell 8-track and cruise over to your local ugly 1970s movie theater. And grab a big box of Raisinets, even though they're lousy. The Flopcast website! The ESO Network!

Marty, Guy and Chuck join me to discuss the newly released VisionOS 2.4 beta. Our first discussion centers around its updates. Chuck expresses excitement over the improvements in guest mode, allowing users to easily share their devices without the cumbersome setup previously required. Both Guy and Chuck share their experiences with the new changes, where guest settings can now be saved for easier access during shared sessions. The discussion reveals the seamless nature of usability enhancements, showcasing how this beta is more user-friendly than ever before. We transition from the Vision Pro updates to the highly anticipated immersive concert experience with Metallica. Sharing reviews and personal reactions, we marvel at the unique viewing methods available on the Vision Pro, allowing viewers to experience concerts in ways that traditional media cannot replicate. The detailed descriptions and the sense of community, coupled with empathy for each guest, highlight how technology again bridges gaps in enjoyment and sharing experiences. We round out this segment by contemplating the musical genres and artists that could follow suit in leveraging such immersive experiences. As we shift gears, we touch on the substantial release of iOS 18 beta 4 and the improvements that come with it. Both Chuck and Marty discuss CarPlay enhancements and how they have improved user navigation. The episode examines the implications of Apple's strides in AI, which seems to eclipse other elements of the updates. The momentum of AI advancements is palpable, and we delve into discussions about how its inclusion in the iPhone ecosystem reflects Apple's strategic positioning in the technology landscape. The conversation also unveils some darker sides of technology with discussions about phishing attacks targeting Mac users. The panelists offer sound advice on how to remain cautious and discerning when faced with potential scams. They emphasize the importance of user education and vigilance while engaging with technology, particularly as attacks become increasingly sophisticated. Switching to the business side, we engage in stimulating dialogue about antivirus software for Macs and whether they are necessary in this evolving digital age. Chuck, Guy, and Marty share personal anecdotes and insights about what safeguards they employ, revealing the diverse approaches to malware protection in a culture increasingly reliant on digital devices. The episode doesn't shy away from controversies either, as we discuss Apple TV Plus and its reported $1 billion annual loss amidst changing streaming landscapes. Here, the dialogue takes a proactive tone, exploring how Apple could pivot and evolve its strategies, learning from the past to navigate future successes. By examining success metrics like subscriber retention and content creation strategies, we underscore the importance of adaptive growth within Apple's service offerings. Lastly, we herald the upcoming MacStock conference, scheduled for July 11-13.

Recent decisions that can significantly impact public welfare have emerge from a lack of contextual awareness. We explore the dangerous consequences of this mismanagement, particularly with the current administration's interactions with Elon Musk, who has been given unwarranted access to vital government resources without accountability.We recount the chaotic beginnings of the Trump administration, laying bare the questionable movements made during high-profile meetings, such as the infamous one with Ukrainian President Zelensky, which underscores the abysmal state of media influence and misinformation. An alarming trend emerges where individuals associated with the administration, lacking real expertise or credibility, direct crucial governmental maneuvers with minimal oversight, raising significant concerns over the vulnerabilities within our institutions.There is an alarming trend of “slash and burn” approaches by Musk and his DOGE incels, who are indiscriminately accessing sensitive personal private information held by the Federal government. The implications of their superficial cuts are dire—jobs eliminated in vital sectors, such as the Veterans Administration, without understanding the significance of those roles. Reforms should stem from legislative actions and not arbitrary dismissals by unqualified individuals. We look at a push, in the Ohio legislature, for the display of specific historical documents in public schools. This initiative serves as a front for instituting religious ideologies—specifically the Ten Commandments—under the guise of educational reform. We dissect this bill, explaining the historical context of legislative overreach and drawing parallels to past incidents where the separation of church and state has been tested and challenged.We examine the motivations behind such legislative efforts, challenging the idea that simply placing these texts in schools could enrich the moral fabric of society. Instead, we argue that true education should empower students through critical thinking and contextual learning, rather than a superficial introduction to selected historical texts. The drive for these displays is less about education and more about a strategic push from Christian nationalist groups seeking to embed specific ideologies in public institutions.Full Show Notes & LinksSend us a textSupport the showSubscribe to our free newsletterCheck out our MerchFollow us on BlueskyFind us on Twitter(for now) Find us on InstagramFind us on Counter SocialFind us on Mastadon

We're just diving into the bizarre world of Rhode Island cable access television of the 80s and 90s. And our special returning guest is Kevin Cafferty! Kevin was there, and remembers it all. If you were anywhere near the Ocean State back in the day, you never knew what you'd find on local cable TV, but you knew it would freak you out. Including: awkward talk shows, befuddling children's shows, ultra-low-budget sketch comedy, backyard wrestling, high school dances, karaoke direct from Woonsocket, the intense legal drama of Providence traffic court, the Star Trek fan show we loved more than Star Trek, the Kiss fan show that was parodied on Family Guy... and the legend of Daphne's Madhouse. Why would you ever look at mainstream TV again? On cable access, your own neighbors were making the weirdest shows in the world. Kevin's podcasts: Gleaming the Tube and The Best Stuff in the World!

We always enjoy perusing the annual list of nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, because it makes everybody angry. And this year we have a special guest: Michael Gordon, host of the Dragon Con Report, Earth Station Who, and BatChums podcasts! (Clearly Mike isn't podcasting enough. So glad we could help with that.) The nominees include 70s rock (Bad Company), 80s pop (our girl Cyndi!), 90s grunge (Soundgarden), and lots more, including some long overdue legends (Joe Cocker, Mariah Carey) and some oddball surprises. (Phish? Really?) And we somehow get through the whole list without complaining about the Rock Hall's continued snubbing of Air Supply. But we have not forgotten. Follow Michael on Substack!

Recently we braved the lawless wilderness of New Hampshire to see a show called "Piano Men and Women," celebrating the music of Billy Joel, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Carole King, and more. (We were there because our old pal Mike is the guitarist in this show. Mike has come a LONG way since Sponge Awareness...) So now we're throwing all those classic pop stars into a silly FlopFight tournament of randomly selected competitions. Join us as we debate the merits of, say, Freddie Mercury and Barry Manilow in a snow-shoveling contest. Why, there's even a surprise wild card player who has no business in this FlopFight, but just might win the whole thing. Kids, prepare for some thrilling and ridiculous tournament action. The stakes could not be lower. The Flopcast website! The ESO Network! The Flopcast on Facebook! The Flopcast on Instagram! The Flopcast on Bluesky! The Flopcast on Mastadon!

The latest In Touch With iOS with Dave he is joined by Marty Jencius, Jeff Gamet, and Ben Roethig. We explore the latest Apple technology updates, highlighting visionOS 2.3.1 for VisionPro, new design patents for advanced features like tunable lenses, and the potential for a demo app for third-party retail sales. We discuss a protective case for the VisionPro, essential security updates in iOS 18.4, and user trends such as unconventional Apple Watch usage. Anticipation builds around the iPhone SE 4, with hopes for modern features, while speculation surrounds Apple's integration of Pixelmator into its ecosystem The show notes are at InTouchwithiOS.com  Direct Link to Audio  Links to our Show Give us a review on Apple Podcasts!

We kick off with a discussion on the recent VisionPro updates, particularly the release of visionOS 2.3.1, which introduces security fixes while continuing to integrate more cohesively with Apple's suite of devices. Marty highlights how Apple is aligning updates across their product line, making it easier for users to manage their devices. Transitioning to patents, we explore Apple's recent acquisition of various design patents for significant advancements in VisionPro technology, including tunable lenses and gaze tracking features. This conversation veers into technical territory, as we dissect the implications of these innovations and the potential they hold for enhancing user experiences. Jeff adds his thoughts, emphasizing the importance of protecting intellectual property in the tech landscape. The discussion shifts to hardware, specifically the introduction of a protective case for the VisionPro that allows for uninterrupted functionality without hampering the device's sensors. Marty shares his anticipation for using it, reinforcing the practicality of such accessories that meet user needs without compromising on functionality. Moving onto the world of software, Dave brings to light a newly discovered demo app available in the App Store, suggesting that Apple may soon enable third-party retailers to sell the VisionPro through this application. Marty expresses skepticism while acknowledging the potential market expansion this could offer. The episode delves into the significance of security updates with announcements surrounding beta releases for iOS 18.4. Jeff posits that the necessity for these updates stems from critical security flaws that Apple needed to address, while the group acknowledges the absurdity of waiting to update due to potential bugs in new versions. In a lighter vein, the hosts discuss quirky user behaviors, such as wearing the Apple Watch on the ankle instead of the wrist—highlighting various reasons behind this trend, including styling choices and practicality—while clarifying that this approach might not yield accurate fitness tracking results. One of the highlights of the show is the discussion around Apple's long-overdue feature allowing users to migrate digital purchases between Apple accounts. Dave outlines the complexity involved and potential pitfalls, gathering insight from the group about the challenges they faced while navigating the system, as well as concerns over Apple Music subscriptions complicating the process. Northern also serves as a platform to discuss systemic changes within macOS, particularly regarding app access in older systems, and the importance of upgrading to stay secure and functional in a rapidly evolving tech landscape. Wrapping up, the hosts touch on the much-anticipated announcement of a new member of the iPhone family. Speculation suggests the introduction of the iPhone SE 4, with updates potentially signaling the end of the smaller device trend in favor of larger screens. As the conversation evolves, the hosts express their desire for this new device to incorporate modern features like USB-C and advanced camera technology. Finally, discussions around the acquisition of Pixelmator lead to speculations on how Apple might integrate this photo editing software into its existing ecosystem without compromising the standalone appeal that Pixelmator has cultivated.

Longtime Flopcast listeners (those poor souls) know that every 100 episodes, we celebrate V66, Boston's own music video TV channel of the mid-80s. This time, however, we have a special guest: Eric Green, director of the V66 documentary, Life on the V! And because this is episode 666, we're looking at the heavy metal and hard rock bands and videos of the V66 era. It was a time when catchy melodies and goofy visuals helped acts like Quiet Riot and Twisted Sister score huge Top 40 hits. The Kiss guys lost the makeup, Van Halen switched from Dave to Sammy, Aerosmith made their (rap-assisted) comeback, Mötley Crüe freaked everybody out, and Bon Jovi opened the floodgates for a cacophony of hair metal. Meanwhile on the local scene, V66 promoted a video filmed at a Boston-area high school by an unknown hard rock band called Extreme. And as the New England Patriots prepared for Super Bowl 1986, V66 was there with a couple of low budget quickie music videos, including the goofy metal tune "Skin the Bears." (Spoiler: The Patriots absolutely did not skin the Bears.) Also: Kevin finds V66 VJ David O'Leary at a Taylor Dayne show! Eric traces the history of Nirvana in Boston! Tom Bergeron gets in touch with the kids on Rap Around! And if you're in the Boston area, you can join us for a special screening of Life on the V at the Somerville Theatre on February 27th! Kids, it's the 40th anniversary of V66. You deserve a night out, surrounded by Junior Mint-chomping 80s nerds who know how to neutron dance. Life on the V! Green's Party! And our regular links...

The conversation quickly shifts to the experience of using the Vision Pro, with each panelist sharing their personal take on its capabilities. We explore the challenges faced by early adopters, particularly the skepticism surrounding its market performance and the mixed feedback from users. The overarching sentiment remains optimistic, with a consensus that the device possesses untapped potential waiting to be realized.

Additionally, we explore the recent changes to Apple's AppleCare Plus subscription service, including price adjustments and the restructuring of purchasing options. Our panel debates the logic behind these changes, with varied opinions on whether they enhance consumer experience or create unnecessary friction. The episode also touches on the launch of Apple's new invites app, allowing users to facilitate event planning seamlessly. We weigh this new offering against existing platforms, discussing the implications of cross-platform functionality for a successful user experience. The feature set includes enhanced customization options and privacy controls, generating a vibrant discussion on its overall usefulness. Closing out the episode, we delve into the latest news surrounding Apple Music's promotional strategy tied to the Super Bowl, as well as exciting developments pertaining to the upcoming Ted Lasso season.
