Sam Sedlack was raised in upstate New York. She began her career in media at fifteen, participating in the youth radio program at WJFF. She attended college at Hofstra University and quickly worked her way to Program Director of Music where she was nominated for CMJ Rookie of the Year. After several internships and jobs in the media, Sam felt disheartened by the exploitation of marginalized identities, and she started the Super Normal podcast. Join us for an educational talk on media literacy, the queer community, and the struggles of building a podcast from the ground up. Sam will share her views on fake news, social media journalism, and the treatment of minorities in the media, as well as her experiences with toxic work and the steps she took to change her circumstances. The Super Normal Podcast has been built on Sam’s belief that the best media comes from organic conversations, not scripted questions and responses. In a world of giant media conglomerates that tightly control what journalists and broadcasters can say, the natural flow Super Normal is a breath of fresh air.  Sam’s primary goal is to educate people, including herself, and to help expose people to stories that are diverse and often ignored by larger media outlets. In this episode, Sam will teach us how she juggles three jobs, is feeling successful even on days when her chronic illness makes life harder, and how she rewires her brain every day and opens herself up to the stories of her unique collection of podcast guests.  Sam will also recommend:  4 apps to keep you healthy and organized 5 women to follow to gain better insight into the queer community and communities of color 3 books to read if you are a food junkie Join us at  www.girlskill.com/77 P.

Ep. 11 with Sam Sedlack from @SuperNormalPodcast!

EPISODE 16 BAKED and AWAKE 11.9.17   November 2017 / 4:20 PM / SEATTLE WA HOST Steve Cominski TODAY ON BAKED and AWAKE (PROMO SPOT FROM THE NOT SO CRAZY PODCAST OF BLIZZARD THE WIZARD AND ELI) Opening and Old Business More thoughts on Predictive Programming, Disclosure, Social Engineering. What I really wanted to say here is, that last week’s episode, personally fell short of my ambitions for what I envisioned to be a decent, if brief introduction to the topics of Predictive Programming, Social Engineering, and the Disclosure of these things via the evolving platforms of popular media in all its forms. Partially due to rambling, and partially due to trying not to spill over into a two part episode, I severely truncated both my paraphrasing of Jay Dyer’s story, and my own personal commentary, poor though it may be, in support of some of the observations made in the article about Stranger Things and it’s occult symbolism. This topic is huge. It is absolutely gigantic in scope, goes way beyond Stranger Things for sure- and discussing it with a semblance of intelligence and any hope of understanding it- well, that most certainly deserves more than an hour here, an hour there. So, as I indicated at the time, we will be revisiting these topics, and more than once as we journey along together in our search for the hidden truths that live in plain sight all around us. I’ll be looking at a new piece of popular film or TV that most of us are familiar with, (TBD)- and we’ll do a bit more of a methodical run down of what symbols, themes, and subtext we observed, personally. We’ll also discuss the extent to which these elements recur in other films and TV, radio, web productions today. Finally, we’ll work our way towards an episode where we will hopefully enjoy the benefit of the deep personal insights and perspective of none other than Jay Dyer of Jay’s Analysis. That’s right, my dear friends- I’m very pleased and more than a tad nervous to admit that I received a message online recently from Jay himself, in response to my own, rather cavalier message telling him we had elected to use one of his stories from last year to build an episode around. (I sent this message after I had hit “publish”, of course.)  Mr. Dyer was more than merciful. Nevertheless, Jay graciously suggested that we might have him on our show sometime (!!) At some point, I was able to get up off the floor from where I had fallen, and sent a reply with my heartfelt thanks, and a promise to work harder on this topic, the better to prepare for a future conversation with him.  Needless to say, any of you who may be familiar with Jay Dyer’s work, and the size of his reach- know that he can do nothing but help us grow our audience by appearing as a guest on this humble show. Due to this undeniable fact, I will be seriously working on exploring these areas, which have fascinated me for years already, so that when we do have Jay on, we can hold up our end of the discussion at least a little bit!  This is all just a little ways out, I anticipate and hope to sit down with Jay on a call sometime early in the coming year. Maybe even early January. We’ll see though, as I’m sure we will be working around His schedule, and that’s just fine.         Shoutouts to: The Man Brain Comedy Podcast Crew- thanks for the IG love and the iTunes review. As for their Pod, the Lads don’t all sound it, but they’re coming at us from Australia, and I’d say their show, which is funny as shit above all else, covers a bit of everything, and is never predictable. All in all not just better than a kick up the backside, but maybe even better than a Ham Sandwich. If you’ve not heard them yet, maybe pop on over to Man Brain Comedy Podcast after this show, and have yourself a Captain Cook with your ear holes. (And if those remarks were a little cryptic sounding to my normal listeners, I only hope they make a little more sense to ouwa Mates Down Undah!   In something of a personal first for me, I was just interviewed as the second half of Sam Sedlack’s Super Normal podcast’s most recent episode, that came out earlier this week on iTunes, Podbean, etc etc.  Sam and I discussed perspectives on growing up Mixed Race and Adopted, and my experiences now, raising a mixed race family of my own. I think Sam managed to help me sound pretty coherent, and like I wasn’t completely choked up for the entire conversation. I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of this show, and the young woman that Sam interviewed for the first half of the episode had an awesome story and perspective that she shared as well. All in all, it was an awesome experience for me, and got me thinking about pursuing a few avenues of investigation into my own Biological family, whom I have yet to make contact with any members of. Please, if you’d like to learn a little more about Steve the person, give Super Normal a listen.

Episode 15 November 2nd 2017 “Post Halloween Letdown”   A solo monologue by Steve, with a little help from Palu, who smoked some weed..   Greetings and salutations everyone! Steve here with you on November 2nd, 2017 and this is Episode 15, of Baked and Awake. I hope everyone had an extra spooky, extra lengthy Halloween this year, I know we certainly did what with the day itself falling on a Tuesday this year, it was basically Halloween from Friday onwards around here. Kenny was a Ninja this year, and Royce, at nearing 2 years old and a perfect semi long haired natural redhead- went as Chucky from Child’s Play. Yeah, you could say that it was pretty epic. Anyway- I’d like to open this mini sode by saying my most heartfelt thank-you to everyone who listened to the show in the past 30 days. As some of you who are paying closer attention might know, We broke all expected or hoped for downloads goals last month, and we couldn’t be happier about it.  Please help us continue to grow our audience by seeking us out on your favorite social media platforms, and tossing us that like, pressing share or reposting our posts, and of course by leaving your (hopefully 5 star!) review in the almighty marketplace that is the iTunes store.   Looking ahead to November, I’m excited to let you all know that I was recently interviewed as a guest for Sam Sedlack’s excellent podcast, Supernormal. The subject matter for that conversation was being raised adopted, and mixed race, and how that has been for me in my life. It’s part of a series of episodes Sam is putting out right now dealing with race, identity, and life in America today from different perspectives. If this wasn’t cool enough, we can also look forward to having Sam on herself as our very first guest of the Baked and Awake show. Sam and I will spend some time talking podcast creator challenges and the highs and lows that come along with making content of this kind, and we may also touch on some other subjects a little closer to our “Baked” wheelhouse as well. Finally, I am pleased to mention that I just recorded and shared my first ever Promo spot for our show, to be played during an upcoming episode of one of my new very favorite Podcasts, The Eastern Border, Hosted by Kristaps Andrejsons. The Eastern Border is a fantastically done show that covers the history of the USSR from the standpoint of a Latvian Professor of Russian history. Kristaps knows his topic, and tells stories in a relatable and entertaining way that will have you coming back for episode after episode. Please, everyone- go check out Supernormal and The Eastern Border, like them both on FB, and make sure you let them know that Baked and Awake sent you.   And now, on to the show, with Palu up first with review of Solstice Farms Shurman #7.  Take it away, buddy!     Palu: Solstice Farms Shurman #7   And we’re back, I hope everyone enjoyed Palu’s review of Solstice Farms’s Sherman #7. It sounds like an excellent and balanced concentrate with a high CBD percentage that still delivers the enjoyment of THC and the benefits of its interplay with the other cannabinoids and terpenes as well.   And now on to a short discussion of everyone’s favorite Netflix franchise, Stranger Things. Note: we won’t be giving out a bunch of spoilers here, even though most of America has already binged the eight hours of Season 2 in one sitting by now. Just in case you haven’t watched it yet, I certainly don’t want to be the one responsible for having ruined it for you. Instead of delving into plot points, details, or revealing omissions, we will be addressing themes, and some conspiratorial topics that seem to be commonly encountered in Science Fiction and Fantasy television and movie features. In the main, Im talking about a concept known to the Tinfoil Hat Society as “Predictive Programming”, where the powers that be encode hidden and sometimes not so hidden messages into popular entertainment (Movies, TV, radio and print media, and perhaps most importantly- video games) about some planned societal change in a bid to inoculate the public against their future shock or dismay in response to the actual event. Predictive programming, it is said-  lessens the public’s resistance to what are perceived to be largely negative compulsory social developments, and distort the understanding of the genesis of the change, placing it in the realm of “this is just how things work” or “We chose this”.  “Disclosure”, on the other hand, is understood again by critical thinkers, to be a tacit admission of some crime or sin already committed. This is the classic rubbing it in your face moment that the victim loathes and the bully live for.  Now, before you say to me “I’ve never heard of this madness before, Steve! You must be off your rocker, I say to you- when was the last time a major Celebrity passed away, or a terrible disaster occurred, when somebody didn’t produce, as if by magic, an episode of say, The Simpsons that appears to closely match the circumstances of the incident in question. All I do by bringing this example up is to remind us all that we regularly play around with and even make light of a phenomenon that at best can be described as eerily coincidental, and at worst may be characterized as utterly diabolical.      On to the question of who is encoding these messages. Some say the Illuminati, others, the Freemasons. Still others will tell you the biggest player in this game is the USINT community, or the US Intelligence state for those of us less acronymically inclined. The United States Central Intelligence Agency, in particular, has been not only accused of, but outright caught red handed- manipulating journalists, actors, and news outlets in virtually every way you can imagine. Don’t believe me- look up Operation Mockingbird. Go ahead, we’ll wait. Now, in addition to the Usual Suspects, you can add groups like The UN, The Vatican, and Foreign Intelligence Organizations from around the world, any and all of whom have propagandistic messages that they continually seek to proliferate around the world. When we look next at the size of just Hollywood’s Entertainment industry, which by the way more or less includes the large part of the Gaming Industry- we are looking at close to One Hundred Billion with a B dollars per year. This takes no account of the money spent on production of foreign films or television shows- one can easily begin to understand that whatever message you wish to spread to the world, if you have access to the Hollywood film industry- you’re gonna get that message out there.   Alright, I’m starting to sound like I think I know something about what I’m talking about here, and that is a dangerous thing. While I do watch TV and movies these days with a highly critical eye, it takes a person with some serious background in Symbolism, Religious Themes, and America’s dark history to really hook in on the weirdest and scariest of this stuff. Believe me when I say that most of us are missing most of IT, whatever that is, that’s being communicated on our magic glowing rectangles, and that is BY DESIGN. The hidden messages are supposed to be just that- hidden. At least, to your conscious mind. At any rate, In support of my outlandish claims, I wish to bring in the assistance of a veritable heavyweight of movie and television analysis, Jay Dyer. Jay runs one of, if not the best websites and YouTube channels on the topic of encrypted messages in popular media that exists, in the world. Jay’s Channel on YouTube is called Esoteric Hollywood, and I warn you- if you get started over there, prepare to lose yourself down a rabbit hole from which there may well be no return. Jay has been breaking down the mysteries of the movies for years, and has an encyclopedic knowledge of both US history, and the history of the film. Here, I will read a few excerpts from his first rate piece on the Stranger Things franchise, published on evolveandascend.com in August of 2016.   Resources:   Esoteric Hollywood’s Jay Dyer Breaks down Stranger Things 2: http://www.evolveandascend.com/2016/08/02/hidden-programming-within-stranger-things/   Jsy’s Analysis Website   The New Rockstars- an excellent YouTube breakdown of Stranger Things Pop culture references- comprehensive and fast paced 30 min watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N1rirHF6qk   On the Conditioning of Humans: https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/sociopol_mediacontrol66.htm   MUSIC:   Opening Segment instrumentals graciously provided gratis, by Anti Luode, Anti’s Music.

Join my pal George Masters and I as we talk cannabis, and the future of the show. Detailed show notes including links to all companies mentioned AND editorial notes worth checking, also attached to this show as a PDF, or viewable here Episode 08 Sept 28, 2017 Host: Steve Cominski Guest: George W. Masters Hey Everybody, Steve here with a few introductory comments to today’s show. It’s been a busy few days around here since our last time together. Things continue to progress down at the garden at work, with the plants in the rooms getting bigger, most now requiring cargo netting to hold up the increasingly heavy branches.  The first harvest days for the new Smooth Sailing Cannabis team are starting to look like they are coming closer at long last.  Aside from my “Day Job”, and its attendant needs, I’ve been noodling on the show, of course.  Researching topics for the upcoming Episode 07, I have also been populating a schedule of show topics to cover, trying to get ahead of the cycle a little bit by looking ahead and putting down some outlines for future episodes.  All this, while updating the website, designing logos, and other art assets that will become our brand identity, and more.   The Episode you are about to listen to is more of an experiment than a formal program. Guest, friend, and probable future contributor George Masters joins me in the recording space to assist in testing microphones etc.  George is an ardent cigar aficionado and exceptionally talented photographer, whom I have been fortunate to call a good buddy now for many years.  I hope to be joined by George again soon in studio, to bring you the first of our more robust “Mini Strain Review” segments of the show.   Anyway, it’s still a struggle to get our mic’s levels where we want them, and again I’m not bothering with shipping this one off to my Sound Engineer pal for some post production, so you’re getting a modestly improved raw audio file once more. We are getting there though, and while George is a bit faint at times, due to not sitting as close to the mic as he maybe should have,  we enjoyed ourselves and I think overall the audio is reasonable.   Presently, getting out episodes on a regular basis is my top priority. Perfection must, for now, take a back seat to my goal of consistently putting something out there.  I earnestly believe that the quality is already here, and we simply need to continue to develop both the format, and our delivery, through just sitting down and turning on the mic, and getting something captured.   By the way, we are very much looking forward to being listed in the itunes and GooglePlay podcast directories any day now, and really hope that by becoming more searchable and discoverable in this way, we will begin to see even more views/listens/downloads of the show than we already are. In the meantime, however, for now the best place to find all past episodes, as well as to communicate directly with us, is our own website, www.bakedandawake.com   Next, an editorial note: Being stoners, during the smoke session I incorrectly identify the farm that produced the flower that we sample on the show as Cannasol Farms. Lovely folks though they probably are, we did not smoke their weed last night Instead, we enjoyed the Royal Kush from our friends down at Soulshine Farms, where fellow Podcaster and Cannabis Ninja Vanzell Kirk, host of “The Lifted Scene” works as a member of the Growing Team. Kirk, if you’re listening buddy- sorry for the flub, we did enjoy the Royal Kush quite a bit. Keep up the good work. Check out The Lifted Scene in the iTunes store or wherever else you find your favorite Podcast content.   Speaking of Podcasts, I want to share with you all two other shows right now that inspire me everyday to keep doing this, for myself as much as because I even think one person might be listening- first, Ryan Kraus of the Cold Case Murder Mysteries Podcast- the guy likes almost all of my instagram posts, like a real person or something- it’s crazy!  He also makes one of the best true crime Podcasts out there, bringing his unique analysis to cold cases, Ryan never fails to have you re-examining what you thought you knew about “well known” tragic stories that nevertheless fascinate us all.  Just as awesome as Ryan and Cold Case Mysteries, are Sam Sedlack and friends, over at Super Normal- a podcast that seeks to bring the listener super relatable stories about fascinating people you didn’t know you needed to know. Every episode is different, and they tackle some real shit. We are talking workplace politics, identity politics, being unique in a society today that continually finds ways to challenge and dampen the spirit of individuals- I’m doing a poor job here of describing a really worthwhile show- just go check it and these other shows out for yourself, and don’t forget to tell them all that Ya Boy Steve sent you!     Alright- George and I are about to session some Galactic Glue Shatter from Clandestine Gardens, we laugh quite a bit, and even manage to talk a little shop about Episode 07, so get comfortable, grab yourself a cup of tea, and maybe a bowl of “Tea” as one of my first muses, Jack Kerouac might say, and get ready to hang out with the Baked and Awake pals..         Background music from Youtube Channel Lofi Hip Hop Radio 24/7   Cannabis Flower: Royal Kush, Soulshine Farms   Butane Hash Oil (BHO): Galactic Glue, Clandestine Gardens
