Philosophers In Space - 0G89: Empire Strikes Back and Taoism

Young podawan, your training is incomplete! You must go back, to the natural state of episode one of the show and then listen back through, all while trying to retain the mind of a child. Definitely the only way to get trained, and also a great way to celebrate the new year! We're talking Empire Strikes back and how it's a great way to indoctrinate small children into Taoism.

The Goods from the Woods - Episode #283 – “The Halftime Show” with Omar Nava

In this episode, the Goods from the Woods Boys are joined by comedian Omar Nava to talk about "THE BIG GAME ON SUNDAY" but, more specifically, this is a deep dive into the history of the "THE BIG GAME ON SUNDAY"'s halftime show. Beginning with its humble roots planted in marching bands in the late-60s and "Up with People" and Disney schlock in the 70s and 80s, the Halftime Show has evolved right alongside the culture to become the most telling cultural bellwether of the declining American Empire. Also, Katy Perry showed us "left shark" and Justin Timberlake showed us a left boob. This is an episode that's been in the works for years now and we're so excited to finally bring it to you. We're gonna have you naked by the end of this pod!

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: The Future of Crypto FUD

We’re over $9,000! That means a lot of good things, of course. But any price increase brings with it increased scrutiny and, yes, increased FUD. The question for this time around is whether the FUD is the same old same old or something new. 

In this episode, @nlw looks at three emergent (and continued) areas of FUD, including: 1) accusations that the bitcoin community is rooting for calamity as the safe haven narrative takes hold; 2) an updated “crypto is for criminals” narrative with more emphasis on state-level enemies; 3) a new, more economically vindictive green/energy waste narrative. 

Importantly, the question isn’t so much whether these new categories of FUD will come to fruition, but what can be done about them.
