So many times, it happens too fast...you trade your passion for glory. Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past, you must fight just to keep them alive.

Thank you Carbon Lad!
I always enjoy reading your updates! I might have to check out Brene Brown, my favorite podcast lately tends to be NPR's Planet Money podcast - lots of fun and informative stories. I also listened to the full Snowden interview on Joe Rogan, which isn't earth shattering if you've been following that story but Snowden speaks very well and kept me engaged for the full three hours.
I'm reading a book now called Awareness, it's from 1990 and is a pretty quick read but curious if you've read that.
I've heard a lot of good things about Planet Money, but I've always shied away from finance-oriented podcasts. I'll add it now at your suggestion though.
Interview with Snowden sounds fascinating, will definitely grab that too.
Just looked up "Awareness" - definitely right up my alley. Thanks for the suggestions (and thanks, as always, for your support).
woah so much stuff very good
i wish i had as many monitors as u
The tough thing is finding a computer that can support all of them... and the dongles... oh the DONGLES!
@GoodL Oh, I forgot! Tell me about your experiences with Mormons please.
@BoMToons I've been a bit under the weather and don't particularly feel up to typing up my storied at the moment, but I will absolutely get back to you on that!
In other news, I've tried over the course over several days to listen to your podcast but Newgrounds always fails to load it! It gives me a vague "Aw Snap! Something went wrong!" error. Would it be possible to get a mirror upload somewhere?

There's so much in this post deserving of response!
The first thing that calls out to me, as a non-Mormon person who grew up in a Mormon-majority town, that podcast seems really interesting, and perhaps worth checking out. I've even got a few stories about my interactions with Mormons myself.
And as a fellow NG-podcast-er, you'd best bet I'll be checking out yours :)
About your "Upcoming" section, I'd just like to say that Carl Sagan's Cosmos (and what I've seen of DeGrasse Tyson's Cosmos as well) is fantastic and in a lot of ways I think a very eye-opening watch. The thing that stuck the most with me was a segment in which Carl discusses the concept of "Flatland" and what it would be like to interact with a "higher-dimensional being" which he illustrates with excellent use of props. (If anyone wants to see just that segment, here's a link to that clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnURElCzGc0 )
Further on your Upcoming section, I hear the move rendition of The Road to Freedom is plagued with some rather nasty historical inaccuracies. I haven't seen it myself so I can't comment much there.
And while I think there is a lot more in this post that could be commented on, I'd just like to say congrats on the Buzz Cola, I got a real kick out of that, and thank you so much for the razor/shower infographic. That may have just changed my life.
Best wishes.

Thanks for the response! The "Cosmos" I refer to is Sagan's original book, but the TV series is gold as well. Flatland is one of my favorite, mind-blowing, reality-bending, videos of all time. I regularly show it to friends and family. I found out it's actually based on a novel! https://www.amazon.com/Flatland-Romance-Dimensions-Thrift-Editions/dp/048627263X/
Thanks again for the response, plz do let me know what you think of the podcast.
