The Roundup Controversy

Roundup revolutionized weed control and transformed modern agriculture—but it also sparked one of the biggest scientific and legal debates in history. In this episode, we explore the story of glyphosate: from its discovery in the 1970s to today’s conflicting studies on safety and cancer risk. Hear what peer-reviewed research, regulators, and the courts have said about the world’s most famous herbicide.

Dating Challenge Accepted, Reluctantly

After three blissful decades of avoiding the dating scene, I'm thrilled to announce my reluctant return to romance. Nothing says "catch me if you can" like someone who's been out of practice since the Clinton administration.

Apparently, my friends think I need "companionship" and "human connection." How quaint. So here I am, dusting off my flirting skills and pretending to understand modern dating apps. Because nothing could possibly go wrong with jumping back into a world where "Netflix and chill" has replaced actual conversation.

Wish me luck – I'll need it.

Grateful for Non-Fiction Chaos

Non-fiction books deserve our twisted gratitude. Thanks to self-help books for making me realize my life needs exactly 47 different fixes. I'm grateful to productivity guides for teaching me to spend more time organizing than doing. History books remind me every generation thought they were doomed—oddly comforting. Psychology texts give me just enough knowledge to armchair-diagnose everyone. Business books convinced me I'd be successful if I just ate kale at 4 AM. Science books make me insufferable at parties, while biographies make me feel lazy for not changing the world by 25.

Transformative Power of Gratitude

Practicing gratitude rewires your brain's neural pathways, strengthening positive thinking patterns over time. Studies consistently show that people who regularly express gratitude report significantly higher levels of happiness and life satisfaction. This natural antidote to stress reduces cortisol levels while increasing feel-good neurotransmitters like dopamine.

When incorporated into workplace culture, gratitude improves team morale, boosts productivity, and reduces employee turnover. The simple act of expressing thankfulness strengthens social bonds and creates reciprocal goodwill in relationships.

The health benefits are equally impressive: improved sleep quality, reduced blood pressure, and enhanced immune function. Even brief gratitude journaling shifts focus from what's lacking to what's abundant in your life.

Children raised with gratitude develop stronger emotional resilience and empathy. Perhaps most importantly, gratitude practice transforms challenges by highlighting hidden opportunities for growth.

Keywords: gratitude practice, positive psychology, mental health, workplace wellness, emotional intelligence, mindfulness, resilience building, stress reduction

The internet lied.

The Internet is full of scams, and I mean bigones. Now that we have AI, gazillions of people on the wonderful interwebs are attempting to fool you, scam you, make you believe things that are not true, and try to change who you are as a person. I once had a sign in my office that read "Question Everything." I need to have it remade.

Homage to Radio Talk Legends

The provided text is a personal reflection on the author's experiences listening to two influential radio talk show hosts: Neil Rogers and Bob Lassiter. The author describes being captivated by Rogers in the early 1980s in Miami, and later, by Lassiter, who moved through several stations including WPLP and WFLA. The piece highlights Lassiter's eventual retirement from radio and his subsequent blogging activity, which documented his later life and passing. It also notes a brief moment where Lassiter appeared on Rogers' show near the end of his life, allowing fans to hear from him one last time. The author concludes by expressing his belief that both men were the greatest talk show hosts he had ever heard.

These reunions remind us of who we are and where we’ve been. In a world that moves fast, taking a moment to say “I’m glad we reconnected” is a simple, powerful act of gratitude.

Lessons I learned

In this episode, I reflect on a powerful lesson I learned from none other than Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers. These two radio legends taught me that authenticity and laughter are just as important as information. Their ability to be themselves—unfiltered, funny, and real—reminded me how grateful I am for the mentors who influence us without ever knowing it. Tune in as I share how their example shaped my own voice and approach to podcasting—and why I’m thankful for every lesson wrapped in a laugh.

When we slow down and pay attention, we realize just how much we already have to be thankful for.
