  • Season 16 Premiere: Living at the Threshold — It Started When I Bumped My Head

    Season 16 Premiere: Living at the Threshold — It Started When I Bumped My Head
    2025/10/19
    Welcome to Season 16 of Mysterious Goings On.Sometimes it takes a hard knock to the head to change how you see time.After a simple workplace accident led to an ER visit, Alex Greenwood found himself staring at a very different kind of threshold—one marked by uncertainty, health scares, and the quiet reckoning that comes when life reminds you it’s not a dress rehearsal.In this deeply personal premiere episode, Alex reflects on what a concussion and a few unexpected words (“we found something else”) taught him about mortality, ambition, and the fine art of choosing what truly matters.He also shares why he’s trading his PR mic for a history degree, lacing up for another half marathon, and learning to live not with certainty, but with purpose.Season 16 kicks off with a story about limits, endurance, and how to live while you still can.Find more at MGOPod.com.Thank you for listening.

    Idiocracy Is Here… and Yes, It’s Got Elected Electrolytes
    2025/08/30

    In 2006, Mike Judge’s Idiocracy was satire. In 2025, it looks like the nightly news. Alex unpacks how anti-intellectualism, corporate dominance, politics as spectacle, and meme-economics echo Judge’s dystopia—and why the joke is starting to feel real.
