The Middle American
Far left. Far right. Conservative. Liberal. Republican. Democrat. Can't fully relate? Me either. But nearly all public discourse and media is centered upon the views share by one of the two political parties - and often those shouting the loudest from the extremes of both sides. This isn't just a political podcast. It's a podcast on life and society, with politics mixed in. But from a viewpoint we do not hear enough from - the middle.

The Assassination of Charlie Kirk
Two times this week I've watched a person die online. Twice. 24 years after 9/11, we are more divided than ever before in my lifetime. A bullet took out Charlie Kirk in an effort to silence free speech. Killed because of his politics. Enough. We must do better as a country. Not "yeah but..." Not seeking revenge or retribution. We must unite as a society and stand for the idea that we are free to disagree without resorting to devaluing human life. It starts with us. This is a turning point.
