I was talking about my podcast with a friend the other day and he asked me an interesting question; Are you edgy enough? People accused me of being edgy when I was younger, but not any more. If the podcast was edgier it would probably attract more listeners, but that’s not really what I’m about…

Stressful Events (MM #1974)

Is your life more stressful?  It feels like we have more stress in our lives than ever before. And those stressful events are coming closer together. Sometimes these events cross over one another.

Flossing Your Teeth (MM #1967)

All that stuff that your dentist has been telling you about flossing your teeth is out the window. At least that’s what a recent study is saying. So what should we do, believe all the old information or this newly released study? I’m so confused.

What People Like (MM #1966)

Through the years I’ve worked in 10 different cities and had lots of jobs. But the more I think about it, I’ve really only had one job; figuring out what people like. It may be oversimplifying things, but when I worked in radio my job was to figure out what people like. An today the…
