The Our Time Podcast: Recent Episodes
Justin Volker
We on The Our Time Podcast aim to discuss current events, history, and politics in an honest and humorous way. The main theme of this Podcast is to discuss what everyday people can do to act responsibly in a democracy and what the government can do to facilitate such pursuits. We will throw in some philosophy and pop culture references. We will cuss a lot and make bad puns. And I should say that our scope for material will be limited to the atrocious, the absurd, and the insipid. In this social climate I don't suppose we'll ever run out of material.
In this episode we discuss guns in America. Matt thinks he may have the solution to this problem. I'll let you be the judge of that.
Ray, Matt, and I discuss education in America. At the end of the video, Zoom cut me off. I meant to say, "Don't forget to like and subscribe and so on." So I'm doing that here. Good times.
This is technically the first episode of the Our Time Podcast. We recorded it 8/16/20. In it we discuss COVID-19 and some of the conspiracies associated with it. We then talk about the idea of conspiracies overall. We conclude on a note on education in America as a foundation for forming how one engages the world. I've been reluctant to post this show because I had some connection issues on my end, and this led to some dead air. I don't have access right now to a proper editing system for the recording, and anyway I think the conversation we had is strong enough that it is worth posting as is. Hope you enjoy
In this episode we discuss a recent development for the NFL. The Kansas City Chiefs organization has recently stated that it will not allow fans to wear headdresses or face paint. We discuss this within the context of "Cancel Culture". Some mentioned will also be made to Citizen Kane and the Ship of Theseus, which should lend us an air of credibility.
