Podcasts about revolting

Run-Ins with Authority. We were young and surly and had a really hard time sitting still. You know who hates that? The man. Sometimes it was a man in a uniform with a gun on his hip. Sometimes it was our Algebra teacher. Sometimes it was our very tired and overworked parents. You get the […]

We Are Just Bad VHS Copies of Our Younger Selves. The cells in your body regenerate every 7-10 years, although some actually stay the same. You're not a literal clone of yourself, but from an experiential point of view, you're a different person now than you were 10 years ago and 10 before that, like […]

This week on NearlyParents, things are heating up… but not in the bedroom! Jamie and Sophie spill the tea on their dry spell since getting pregnant, and Sophie is not mad about it! ❌

FOBI and JOMO. Fear of being included. Joy of missing out. Oh, we love hijinks and shenanigans both. We love our friends and enjoy knocking things out of their hands. But gosh it's also really nice to be left alone with our thoughts and our tired, tired bodies. Sorry, can't hang out today. We're busy […]

Multipart Definitions and Dual Diagnoses. Our simple human brains want everything to be simple. Effects have clear cut causes. Injuries happen to specific parts of the body. Unfortunately, the world isn't like this. It's all complex interactions spitting out murky consequences. Whatever is wrong with you though, you should probably be taking Vitamin D. Music […]

The most significant rebellion of the Medieval era, the so-called Peasant's Revolt, kicked off in Brentwood, Essex on 30th May, 1381, when tax collector John Bampton attempted to collect unpaid poll tax. The protest triggered a violent confrontation, rapidly spreading across the south-east of the country. Within a month, the rebels were marching towards London, massacring merchants and razing the palace of the king's uncle, John of Gaunt. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider whether the protestors really were ‘peasants' at all; appraise 14 year-old king Richard II's handling of their appeasement; and explain how, despite the horrific hardship of the Black Death, the working classes had, for once, something of an advantage… Further Reading: • ‘The Peasants' Revolt Of 1381: A Guide' (HistoryExtra, 2021): https://www.historyextra.com/period/medieval/your-guide-peasants-revolt-facts-timeline/ • ‘Peasants' Revolt' (British Library): https://www.bl.uk/learning/timeline/item132518.html • ‘The Untold Story Of The 1381 Peasants Revolt' (Timeline, 2018): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kq9sbtFCR8&t=2s Love the show?

Never Not Bleeding for the Cause. Robot's wife said, “Oh my god, why are you always bleeding?” Suffice it to say, some of us are less careful than we ought to be. Also, the world is pointy and sharp. At this stage, we're often not even sure why we're bleeding, but we never stop. It's […]

Slow Walk to Music. You know something big is afoot when the main characters in a movie or TV show start slow motion walking to music. Of course, there are times in your own life that deserve this treatment. Or even better, a walk on song, like baseball players get, 10 seconds of Metallic to […]

Two Legs Bad, Four Legs Good. We can be reasonably certain that no cat ever crashed the economy. If you took a random Israeli dog and a random Palestinian dog, they'd probably be buddies. Russia/Ukraine? Same. Furry buddies don't say hurtful things, because they don't talk. They should OBVIOUSLY be running the world instead of […]

Summary   In this episode of the Customer Service Revolution podcast, Denise Thompson and John DiJulius discuss the recent trend of companies filing for bankruptcy, particularly those known for poor customer service. They explore the concept of the experience gap, where customers feel they are paying more for less, leading to a revolt against companies that fail to meet expectations. The conversation shifts to the importance of maintaining a strong customer experience, even for historically successful brands like Starbucks and Southwest Airlines, which have recently struggled. They emphasize the need for businesses to understand their customers' perspectives and the value of mystery shopping to gain insights. The episode concludes with a discussion on the pursuit of greatness in business and the commitment required to achieve it.   Takeways Bankruptcy often affects companies with poor customer service. The experience gap leads to customer dissatisfaction. Customers are revolting against companies that fail to deliver value. Amazon excels in convenience and customer experience. Great customer experience is not guaranteed; companies must stay vigilant. Mystery shopping can provide valuable insights into customer experience. Understanding the customer's viewpoint is crucial for businesses. Pursuing greatness requires commitment and effort. Most people are not willing to do what it takes to be great.

Hugs Are Better Than Drugs, But Drugs Are Also Pretty Good. Don't do meth, you'll lose all your teeth. Don't do coke, you'll lose your whole bank account. Don't do Molly, you'll sleep with your cousin. But, beer, weed, ibuprofen, caffeine, all in moderation, are probably fine, right? Music pick of the week: Robot – […]

Mona Lisa Wasn't Wearing Pants, That's What She Was Smiling About.

Go Ahead and Call It a Comeback. 2025 is the year we both return from physical setback to reestablish ourselves as defiantly mediocre athletes.

Like a Piano Down a Flight of Stairs. We all want to age gracefully…physically, mentally and emotionally…but the likelihood is we'll be just as annoying as our parents every step of the stupid way. The world is moving so fast, all the time, that the older you get the farther you fall behind. How do […]

Birmingham is Revolting

Will the Rhombus Be Unbroken. If you follow the current laws of science through to their logical conclusions, then it's hard to escape the idea that we are living predestined lives, where everything we do follows inescapably from the last thing we did. That's a pretty tough pill to swallow though, so we invented the […]

International Arrivals speaks with multi-disciplinary artist Lara Baladi (Egypt/Lebanon) (tahrirarchives.com). Baladi discusses Tahrir Cinema” an influential public pop-up cinema that served as a platform where filmmakers, artists, activists and civilians could share their stories during the 2011 Egyptian uprisings, aka Arab Spring. She talks about the current atmosphere in Egypt and censorship in the arts. Emphasizing the voices of the people, Vox Populi, Tahrir Archives her continuing project, includes a series of artworks and publications. The culmination of which is  Anatomy of Revolution, an ABC and Archive of Revolting.

The Wisdom of Your Future Self. If you knew now what you will know then, this whole story would be so, so different, so how could you possibly consult with future you to produce a present that you'll be happy with later? The answer is probably simpler and also more difficult than you think. Music […]

The World Is Flatter Than You Might Think.

Saloons, Saloonery, and Saloonacy. Humans love a bar. They love to drink. They love to talk. They love to shoot pool, and some of them even love to get thrown out.

Pastor Mike and Connor loosely continue from our previous episode, as they discuss not just the importance of avoiding the idols in our life, but utterly revolting against them.

Never Ever Pay the Artist. Your eyeballs have been under assault since you were born. Other people really are desperate for you to see what they want you to see. You'd think you'd place a higher value on the things can come into your field of vision, but you don't. Everywhere there is art and […]

Learning to Fiddle While Rome Burns. When Ronald Reagan became president in 1980, we thought the world was going to end in a nuclear winter. When George W Bush, who couldn't pronounce the word ‘nuclear,' took over in 2000, we figured the whole planet would be consumed by the War on Terror. In 2016, we […]

Superstition as a Brain Eating Virus. People believe all sorts of crazy things. The world is flat. Gluten is a huge problem.

The Customer Isn't Always Bright. Expectations are the enemy of happiness, which is why the Amazonification of customer service has ruined a lot of people. They want everything now.

This week you'll get the warm breeze […]

In 1672, the settlers of the New Jersey proprietary colony arose in a bloodless rebellion against Philip Carteret, appointed by the proprietors as governor. The wannabe rebels formed an illegal legislature, and installed Captain James Carteret as "president," putting them in conflict with Lord John Berkeley and Sir George Carteret, James's father. The conflict had to do with taxes, quitrents, and title to land. John Ogden, ancestor of your podcaster, emerged as a key player in the "popular party." By the summer of 1673, the proprietors, with the help of the Duke of York and King Charles II, had put down the rebellion. James, now virtually disowned by his father, fled to Carolina, but along the way would be captured by the Dutch captain Cornelis Evertson the Youngest, known to his many fans as "Kees the Devil." James, or one of his resentful allies, would describe the defenses of New York to Evertson, setting up the Dutch reconquest of New York.

Bad Reasons to Talk About Batman. Batman is clearly the best superhero because he doesn't have any superpowers and because he isn't even sure whether he's a good guy or a bad guy. Also, because he wears his underwear on the outside. Recent events have highlighted that humanity has a real soft spot for vigilante […]

Thom Clark is one of the few who has been around long enough to distinguish reformers from deformers. And so he contemplates the current state of the city council, filled with aldermen and women who swear up and down they're looking out for the taxpayers. Don't laugh, listeners--you elected them. Also, a few words about standing up to Trump. Thom Clark is, among other things, a writer, editor, photographer, organizer and teacher of wannabe journalists and activists who want to win coverage from journalists.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Trying Very Hard Not to Try Very Hard. After 153 hours of jibber-jabber, I think we've established that nothing matters, and that quite possibly we're all dead already anyway. That means we're all free to do what we want, which for most us means, not very much. And yet, it's still so hard to pull […]
