The HGQ Podcast: Recent Episodes

James Walsh

Regularly, I'll be reviewing with you, history‘s greatest quotes. From the profound and thought-provoking to the light-hearted and whimsical; quotes from world leaders, ancient philosophers, or sources unknown… But all still hold as much meaning and relevance today as they did when they were first spoken.

Then, just for fun, I'll through in a few bonus episodes in a series that I call 'Unscripted'. Topics might be current-day events, pop culture, or true crime.

“A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke.”

― Soren Kierkegaard

On this episode of UNSCRIPTED, I try my hand at True Crime stories with a tale that reads like a political thriller.  It is said that the assassination of Derwin Brown was the country's first assassination of an elected official in more than 20 years.  Please join me to hear the tale of how evil, power, and greed led to the murder of a good and righteous man.

Musicians should go to a yard sale and buy an old * drum set and get in their garage and just suck. And get their friends to come in and they'll suck, too. And then they'll * start playing and they'll have the best time they've ever had in their lives and then all of a sudden they'll become Nirvana. Because that's exactly what happened with Nirvana. Just a bunch of guys that had some ** old instruments and they got together and started playing some noisy ***, and they became the biggest band in the world.

Welcome to HGQ Podcast UNSCRIPTED.  Every so often, in bonus episodes, I'll get away from the quotes to discuss random topics that are on my mind or of interest to me that I'd like to share.  I invite you to listen, but, if you're just here for great and inspirational quotes along with their backstories, feel free to skip the episode. In today's release of UNSCRIPTED, I'll be sharing some personal feelings about getting older and feeling hypocritical at times.  I'll also give my opinion of the new movie, Top Gun 2: Maverick.
