2025/10/03

Please text me what you think of this episode. I would love to hear from you. Charlie Kirk's assassination is a stark reminder that our nation is entangled in a cycle of violence that seems impossible to break. With Kirk's tragic death, the media frenzy erupted, amplifying every detail of his life and the despicable act that took it. Amidst the noise, I attempt to provide clarity on how these tragic incidents reflect deeper societal issues—rooted in radicalization and media sensationalism. I...

Please text me what you think of this episode. I would love to hear from you. You know... I've never really unpacked "fully" from any of my moves, across country or locally.

The Goldman State ·

2025/08/29

Please text me what you think of this episode. I would love to hear from you. Can cooking really serve as a form of mental health therapy? Cooking requires focus and provides a delicious distraction from life's ups and downs. For me, that clarity is therapy. Reading a cookbook is also like therapy and when written well, I wonder, does that book belong in self-help or in the "cooking" section of the bookstore? As culinary art, who knew you actually get to eat the masterpiece? There's a though...

Please text me what you think of this episode. I would love to hear from you. Ah, California’s bullet train. The gift that keeps on... waiting. Will we ever see it get built?

Please text me what you think of this episode. I would love to hear from you. Got print? "Start" the presses may be a bit of a stretch given I've written for at least two publications that have "stopped" them. Let's not get too critical now.

Please text me what you think of this episode. I would love to hear from you. To the very contrary of the "R" word , I've been slightly overwhelmed with deadlines. I'm sure you've noticed a "repurposing" of recent popular episodes. Knowing you're clever enough to deduce the meaning of the "R" in the title, things have been quite, dare I say, busy of late. No need for concern, I am well and will be getting back to the studio to record sooner than later. As for the episode, you can rest assure...
