Nightcap

This is Nightcap, a podcast where my opinions crossroad with my research, a place where I discuss the topical issues of the times. If you're reading this in the year 2020, then the time for my third season is upon us! The third season of Nightcap focuses on Autumn, focuses on time and understanding, focuses on themes such as aging, death, and looking at the future of our country and world. Tune in every Monday to see what I have to say. Thanks for listening.

This episode is the last full episode of season three of the Nightcap Podcast. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I'm going to speak on the aspects of our current society that are worth noting, from self-expression to conversation and more. I'll be taking December off, but then getting right back into it with four episodes that I find to be really important and then season four! Thank you for supporting the show!

This episode of the show is going to focus, once again, on the future; the next step of technological evolution. The way we communicate is the most important aspect of human development, and in today's show I'm going to go over what the next decade might bring us, what it will set up, and what we should focus on most. Thanks!

Today's episode is my take on what to think about for tomorrow's election, and how to navigate an extremely difficult socio-political climate. I discuss some of the more important pieces of how the process works, talk about how I view both candidates, and discuss why things are so difficult right now. It's a hard time to use your voice, but it's more important than ever. However you decide to vote, or if you decide to vote, is a pe...

In the spirit of my Valentine's Day episode, today's episode is light and fun, with almost no notes or preparation. I talk about fear and horror, what makes the genre good and bad, share a few short stories, and talk about the in's and out's of the horror genre.

Today I talk with y'all about cancel culture, callout culture, "hey you shut the fuck up" culture, whatever you wanna call it. I talk about the issues I see with  it, some of the positive reasons it may exist, and go into just a few weird tangents. Hope I didn't offend, but if I did then hey, what else am I here for.

Not much to say here. Today I'm talking political correctness: The Good, Bad, and Ugly. This movement has brought so much good to people in need and in want of more rights and an even spot at the table, but in some instances it has gone to far. Join the conversation, I hope y'all enjoy!

Welcome to the first episode of the first season of Nightcap! After a brief hiatus, I'm back! I'll be posting two episodes a week, talking about all my favorite things, and some things I never knew about until I started recording for them!
