Nov 20th, 2018 30m 24s

KD - DraymondWhere I start by discussing NBA basketball. Where I finish by discussing NBA basketball. Professional sports as a microcosm for life. Firstly: legacy. Egregious overuse of the word behoove (i.e. more than zero times). Perception

The Mumble 015: Story's of Privilege

Nov 15th, 2018 31m 45s

The Mumble 014: Minds That Expand

Nov 13th, 2018 39m 40s

The Mumble 014: Minds That Expand. Story-telling, minds that expand, and silos we build. Bad analogies. All bad analogies are my own.

The Mumble 013: Short-Term Superman

Nov 7th, 2018 49m 9s

The Daily Mumble 009: Against Racism

Oct 18th, 2018 5m 35s

The Daily Mumble 008: Top 3

Oct 17th, 2018 56m 6s

Where I discuss the power of Top 3 lists, over against Top 5 and Top 10's. I give my own Top 3 for songs, and for movies (but somehow, someway, manage to not mention No Country for Old Men: my list is bunk!)

The Daily Mumble 007: The Facts of Life

Oct 11th, 2018 18m 11s

Where we consider the interplay of the promises of globalism undelivered, and thus the rational rationale that populism is seemingly ascendant. We contemplate the perhaps inevitability that this is the way things would be and how The Godfather
