Trying To Be Better with Joel and Steve ·

2022/09/04

Joel and Steve do their 2nd Annual 'Live from Kansas City' podcast! This time they are recording prior to going to see Roger Waters at the T-Mobile Center. (And also prior to the culinary bacchanal that is Minsky's Pizza!) Steve just got back from a three-day music festival in Chicago (his first), so they de-brief on that situation. The highlight was Phil Lesh playing with Jeff Tweedy and Nels Cline from Wilco! The low-light was the third day getting essentially shut down by lightning. That

TTBB 86 - F*@# Your Feelings!

Trying To Be Better with Joel and Steve ·

2022/08/26

Joel (shockingly) has an issue that needs to be unpacked. It turns out words can be hurtful (even if not intended to be so) - and that people's feelings *are* valid. Also if you are watching Better Call Saul but haven't finished it - here there be spoilers. (Sort of. Proceed at your own risk.)

2022/06/26

Joel and Steve discuss the Supreme Court's repeal of Roe v. Wade. That's it. If you're pretty OK with that - this is not your podcast.

Trying To Be Better with Joel and Steve ·

Trying To Be Better with Joel and Steve ·

2022/03/27

Joel and Steve reconvene after a few weeks to discuss the play Joel just wrapped up - "This Mortal Life Also" by Lincoln playwright Nancy Shank. https://nancyshank.com/this-mortal-life-also/ Joel played the brother-in-law to pastor and scholar Dietrich Bonhoeffer in Nazi Germany, and his (their) involvement in a plot to arrest - and and when that failed - assassinate Adolph Hitler. The play is a triumph on every level; it is particularly timely in that there are plenty of parallels in it and what is
