    Second Wind (MM #5437)
    2026/02/09
    When people ask me how I like my job, I tell them I’ve never worked harder in my life. My careers in radio and the music business could be intense, sometimes frantic, but with both, there was always a lot of downtime. You wouldn’t think that working for an advertising agency would be quite as demanding. But it is. I go nonstop for eight hours a day, and by the time I get home, I’m tired. I grab my dinner, try to relax a bit, and then try to put the daily podcast together. But I find many nights when I should be winding down, I get a second wind. And I’m not quite sure why… Click Here To Subscribe Apple PodcastsSpotifyAmazon MusicGoogle PodcastsTuneIniHeartRadioPandoraDeezerBlubrryBullhornCastBoxCastrofyyd.deGaanaiVooxListen NotesmyTuner RadioOvercastOwlTailPlayer.fmPocketCastsPodbayPodbeanPodcast AddictPodcast IndexPodcast RepublicPodchaserPodfanPodtailRadio PublicRadio.comReason.fmRSSRadioVurblWe.foYandex

    Up With People (MM #5436)

    You know what day it is. It’s the day of that big Bad Bunny concert. I guess “concert” isn’t the right word; perhaps I should say ‘performance’. Bad Bunny, who almost everybody in the world knows, is performing the halftime show at this year’s Super Bowl. While I’m not a fan of his music, I have no problem with him performing. In fact, I rarely pay attention to the halftime show anyway. I know for some people it’s a big part of the event. The Super Bowl is more than just a football game. For some, it’s all about the commercials. And of course, for many, it’s about the party that goes along with the game.

  • Nostalgia And History (MM #5435)

    Nostalgia And History (MM #5435)
    2026/02/07
    Let me pose a question. Are nostalgia and history exclusive of one another? No, I’m not talking about feeling nostalgic, I’m talking about nostalgia, the love of things that are old. If people love nostalgia, do they also love history? I don’t know the answer, but I do know that most people who don’t like history aren’t fond of looking back. I love nostalgia. I love old pictures. I love stories of nearly anything from back in the day. I loved history as a subject in school and always enjoyed delving into it in depth to learn more than just the basics I had been taught. For some, history is just memorizing facts… Click Here To Subscribe Apple PodcastsSpotifyAmazon MusicGoogle PodcastsTuneIniHeartRadioPandoraDeezerBlubrryBullhornCastBoxCastrofyyd.deGaanaiVooxListen NotesmyTuner RadioOvercastOwlTailPlayer.fmPocketCastsPodbayPodbeanPodcast AddictPodcast IndexPodcast RepublicPodchaserPodfanPodtailRadio PublicRadio.comReason.fmRSSRadioVurblWe.foYandex

    Feels Colder (MM #5434)
    2026/02/06
    Do you ever have a situation where you think the issue is probably more in your mind than it is in reality? Let me explain. For some reason, our house feels colder when it’s 40° outside than when it’s 20° outside. And it’s not like we’re changing the thermostat. During the winter months, we keep our house consistently at 66°. But I find the house feels colder when it’s 40 outside than when it’s 20. Technically, the thermostat reads 66°, just like it should, but it doesn’t feel the same. I like to think that because the heat pump isn’t running when it’s a little bit warmer, it doesn’t circulate the air as much. I think that makes sense… Click Here To Subscribe Apple PodcastsSpotifyAmazon MusicGoogle PodcastsTuneIniHeartRadioPandoraDeezerBlubrryBullhornCastBoxCastrofyyd.deGaanaiVooxListen NotesmyTuner RadioOvercastOwlTailPlayer.fmPocketCastsPodbayPodbeanPodcast AddictPodcast IndexPodcast RepublicPodchaserPodfanPodtailRadio PublicRadio.comReason.fmRSSRadioVurblWe.foYandex

    Wildlife (MM #5433)
    2026/02/05
    When you think of wildlife, you don’t often think of Nashville. Okay, perhaps you think of the wildlife that’s happening on Lower Broadway, but Nashville isn’t known as a rural area. But, as I can attest, we still have lots of animals within the city limits. Within just a few miles of my house, many families of deer, a few coyotes, and even some water buffalo on a nearby farm that do escape every now and then. But I learned just the other day, February is the most dangerous month for wildlife. Because of the weather, the daylight conditions, and the beginning of mating season, many of these wild animals are in areas they don’t normally travel. And that could be dangerous… Click Here To Subscribe Apple PodcastsSpotifyAmazon MusicGoogle PodcastsTuneIniHeartRadioPandoraDeezerBlubrryBullhornCastBoxCastrofyyd.deGaanaiVooxListen NotesmyTuner RadioOvercastOwlTailPlayer.fmPocketCastsPodbayPodbeanPodcast AddictPodcast IndexPodcast RepublicPodchaserPodfanPodtailRadio PublicRadio.comReason.fmRSSRadioVurblWe.foYandex

    A Slow Process (MM #5432)
    2026/02/04
    One of my old bosses used to say that nobody likes change except for a wet baby. I always knew what he meant and agreed, to a point. One thing I’ve realized is that most change is a slow process. It happens behind the scenes when we’re not paying attention. When we notice, the change seems abrupt. The way we watch sports on television is changing. I should say it’s constantly changing. The regional sports network FanDuel Sports has announced it will shut down in a few months. People are upset because most live team sports are now heading to streaming or apps. This change seems abrupt, but it’s been happening for a long time… Click Here To Subscribe Apple PodcastsSpotifyAmazon MusicGoogle PodcastsTuneIniHeartRadioPandoraDeezerBlubrryBullhornCastBoxCastrofyyd.deGaanaiVooxListen NotesmyTuner RadioOvercastOwlTailPlayer.fmPocketCastsPodbayPodbeanPodcast AddictPodcast IndexPodcast RepublicPodchaserPodfanPodtailRadio PublicRadio.comReason.fmRSSRadioVurblWe.foYandex

    Short Notice (MM #5431)
    2026/02/03
    The Winter Olympics are almost here. They begin in a couple of days, with curling among the first events. I’m not the biggest Olympic fan, but I do keep track of what’s going on. One thing I wondered about recently is why some sports, like figure skating, wait until the last minute to announce the Olympic participants. The figure skaters who will represent the US were announced a couple of weeks ago. To me, that seems like very short notice. I’ve never been a world-class athlete, but I’d want more time to get focused. I would think that with more time to prepare, both physically and mentally, our athletes would perform better… Click Here To Subscribe Apple PodcastsSpotifyAmazon MusicGoogle PodcastsTuneIniHeartRadioPandoraDeezerBlubrryBullhornCastBoxCastrofyyd.deGaanaiVooxListen NotesmyTuner RadioOvercastOwlTailPlayer.fmPocketCastsPodbayPodbeanPodcast AddictPodcast IndexPodcast RepublicPodchaserPodfanPodtailRadio PublicRadio.comReason.fmRSSRadioVurblWe.foYandex

    Satisfied (MM #5430)
    2026/02/02
    Yesterday, I was listening to a playlist on Spotify. And one of my favorite country songs, that many have forgotten, was on the playlist. It was Steve Earle’s ‘I Ain’t Ever Satisfied’. And naturally, it got me to thinking. As Americans, or for that matter, even as humans, is satisfaction possible? I’ve always viewed myself as a perfectionist. That’s both good and bad. One of the bad parts is that even when something goes well, I’m never totally satisfied. I’m always looking for ways to improve, to make it better. Is this just a problem here in America, or is it a human condition worldwide? I don’t know if there’s a definitive answer… Click Here To Subscribe Apple PodcastsSpotifyAmazon MusicGoogle PodcastsTuneIniHeartRadioPandoraDeezerBlubrryBullhornCastBoxCastrofyyd.deGaanaiVooxListen NotesmyTuner RadioOvercastOwlTailPlayer.fmPocketCastsPodbayPodbeanPodcast AddictPodcast IndexPodcast RepublicPodchaserPodfanPodtailRadio PublicRadio.comReason.fmRSSRadioVurblWe.foYandex
