Radio Free Fino: Recent Episodes
Fino
A fun and informative mixed bag of trivia, significa, and wowza yowza to cogitate (still legal in 35 states). Radio Free Fino is an escape from the banal to the insightful by one of the world's leading experts on nothing, a cheater at cards, aficionado of cardBordeaux (box wine) and friend to all canines and coat check girls named "Candi" who dot their "i"s with little hearts.
Remember the one that got away? No, not the girl... the job. Then you had to use that skill set anyway? No, not on the job, on the girl. Me, too.
Funny how "worker's paradises" like the then USSR were also black market bonanzas. As well as opportunities to end up in jail. Add one moment of hockey greatness behind the Iron Curtain. At least I had Warsaw.
Migration to TN and other Southern states is the new 'gold rush.' Folks coming here find the blessings that I did 10 years ago but may not be aware of the cultural ways of Dixie. Here's a fast, fun interpretation from a transplantee that can make adaptation to the ways here much easier.
New Macho for the 21st Century or dust off the old paradigm for manhood? (Spoiler alert: if the old one isn't broken, don't fix it, FIND IT.) "Back in the day" the jerk weasels among us didn’t end up on page six sitting in the front row of NBA games with Katie Holmes or with a reality shows on Bravo. The good guys? They're out there. It's about time they got a little respect.
Time sure flies when you're teaching Spanish, bumming ciggies from students, catching up with them as adults and wondering what was 'caught' of what you 'taught'. As a teacher, if you give kids one thing that shaped them then you'll never die.
What do all men have in common? We hate kitten heels, love rib eye steaks, and CRAPPY GUY CINEMA, movies so bad but so fun you hate to admit you've seen them 20 times. None is date nite fare, all can be found in a discount bin or thrift store near you. Here is my list and descriptors of my favorite smoking piles of celluloid gold putrescence.
What distinguishes a "henchman" from a "goon"? How did Harley Quinn fast track herself to "villain" status? And who is the archetypal "villain" after which most others are descendent subspecies? What of bad guy redemption- does it happen and can it be trusted?
It's all right here. Titles DO matter if the villain/ outlaw/ hooligan world.
England's Prince Philip, the Queen's hubby, died last year. Turns out he saw the current juggernaut of control freaks and submissives and quietly warned us before he departed. It's time to take inventory of what's going on and what to do about the current sheeple insanity. The decent among us have been lulled into a polite state of 'play nice' with the very entities that are sucking out our national entrails. Well, folks, it's time to throw some elbows.
Naked and afraid. NO, not the tv show; the first day of summer camp as a little kid 'back in the day'. Would this be the year that "tadpole" ascended to a lesser 'wuss' wrist band rank? Would Camp Lakoda finally witness the Phoenix Rising in rural Nebraska in One Early June that the Geneva Conventions would surely have outlawed? Listen for yourself.
The best thing to do depends on the best questions to have. They're like breadcrumbs that take us to optimal outcomes. Then there's that one question we spend a lifetime on. Might be you don't consciously dare ask yourself... but it's there, it's always there.
If young people really "knew" what's ahead of them the should envy us, the mature among them. Making jump shots and doing jello shots isn't nearly as good as what we know about loving life.
When three charming French teenage girls say "oui" you don't say "non". A chain smoking monk came to my rescue... or was he responsible for my capture? Find out in the current podcast adventure of five Americans in a VW mini van who navigated gargoyles, fondue parties, and made the front page of the daily newspaper in Yssingeaux.
Turns out that athletes and sports fans are among the most superstitious and ritual-loving of anybody you'll ever see. Find out about some of the crazy sports rituals, traditions, and taboos in the world of athletics. Ever hear of a voodoo priestess called in to a stadium to lift a curse? You'll hear about it here.
Pirate radio, unlicensed radio broadcasting, has been around for a while and is STILL 'out there' on the AM and FM bands. It's been used for everything from rock'n'roll rebellion of preferred formats to political propaganda. Governments have been playing 'whack a mole' on pirate radio and border blaster stations for years... and ours also COLLUDES in the practice facilitating unlicensed blanketing of content into other countries! Enjoy this glimpse into the practices of bored geeks and one broadcast legend started in the 'shadows' of the air waves.
How has the worldwide web effected 'old school' terrestrial (AM/FM) radio? You might be surprised. The state of radio today is gangbusters. But there's a new kid on the block, podcasting, that has tripled in popularity since 2016. Find out who listens, what do they listen to, and who are the 'big dogs' in radio format and podcasting. Enjoy this show as your multitasking ear candy!
An entertaining, interesting, humorous look at the condition we call "one job", the one someone had, the one one wants, the one someone blew, the one someone did extremely well. Enjoy the info, the history, the insight and reminder at what's ALL our job.
