Knowing Nothing ·

2019/09/16

Everyone loves movies. How can we not? Even T.V. today is amazing! It's so easy to become hooked on the magic of the medium. But unless you work in the film industry, there's probably a lot you don't know about how movies like James Bond, or shows like Breaking Bad are actually made. So on this episode of Knowing Nothing, I brought on a guest to give you a personal behind the scenes look of how movies and TV get made from the other side of the camera.

EP#57 - An Unconventional Education

Knowing Nothing ·

2019/09/09

School is back in session and everyone is getting ready to learn again! But what is it about our education system that makes us think school is the only place to learn? And why is not going to college such a taboo? On this episode, I had that exact conversation with my good friend Dylan Hartigan, who is living that unconventional path– leaving school to pursue his passions in music... and doing rather well at it too. -- Dylan's Social: IG: @dylanhartiganmusic My Social: IG: @mickeyroberts,

EP#56 - Gaggle of Geese, Murder of Crows ... Congress...

Knowing Nothing ·

2019/09/02

Why the heck do we call multiple geese a gaggle or a group of fish a school? So many strange names for packs of animals, and each one is weirder than the next! A Parliament of Owls, a tower of Giraffes, the list goes on. And on this rather silly episode of Knowing Nothing Podcast Mickey reads a list of some of the strange group names humans have chosen for animals. -- My Social: IG: @mickeyroberts, @knowingnothing_podcast, @mickeyrobertsart Twitter: @nothingknowing, @mickeyroberts33

EP#55 - Being There

Knowing Nothing ·

2019/08/25

Being there for our friends is one of the most worthwhile responsibilities we have. And falling short of that responsibility is easier than you might think. When we get distracted by our own lives or put too much faith in the memories we already have with our friends, we risk neglecting those very people who add all the color to our lives. So on this episode I want to take a moment to remind the people in my life how grateful I am to have them, and to encourage you to do the same. -- My Social: IG:

Knowing Nothing ·

2019/07/01

This is a special episode for two reasons. One, I finally asked my girlfriend, Sarah, to come on the show as my guest! And two, we talked about acting, which is a topic I’ve always thought I was too close to to dissect in an episode. I’m glad we did. Sarah is a very talented working actor here in NYC, but what the heck does working actor mean? What is it like being an actor at the beginning of your career? How do you find a sense of self worth in an industry inundated with rejection. And why would

Everyone working toward self improvement benefits from a mentor. And mentors can come from anywhere in your life. For me, one of my greatest mentors is and always has been my dad.

Alternative medicine is becoming more and more popular in the Western World, and despite my own reservations about things like acupuncture, or cupping, or reiki, I have to admit that there’s gotta be something to it. So on this episode of Knowing Nothing I had the opportunity not only to learn about reiki from a trained practitioner, Kelsey Claire, but also to try it out first hand and see if my skepticism holds up.

We live in a world where even the most objective of truths are being contested. The skill of critical thinking is at an all time low, and the consequences of that decline are evident in a growing community known as the Flat Earth Society. Gaining nationwide credibility through social media, is this outlandish belief that the earth is in fact flat a sign of a failed education system?

Knowing Nothing ·

2019/05/06

At their best, companies like Google and Facebook are uniting people from across the globe with both information and with each other. But at their worst, these companies are turning us into their product. Mining our data, selling us to advertisers, and even silencing our voices. This is the wild west we built when we gave these companies permission to connect us with the world, (on their terms). On this Episode of Knowing Nothing, Mickey speaks with CEO and co-founder of Minds.com, Bill Ottman,
