Probaly.However, the day's really tragic events in Dallas, Texas have eclipsed most other newsworthy stories.

That probably applies equally well to doing a podcast, or at least it does in the case of your host, "The Voice."   After a long period of inexcusable non-motivation an attempt is going to be made to express an outlook on a few things that have transpired over the last few months. Just random observation on things like Halloween, boozy baseball players, female professional fighters and, well, you know......the really bad things happening here in the USA and abroad.  00:31:00Shut Up and Listen2noHalloween,Female Fighters,Campus UnrestSome viewpoints and opinions on social, political, and cultural events over the last few months.Cos and Effect.

And there's other less important stuff like the lights that were seen by NASA on the newly-discovered (?) dwarf planet. And the homeless guy fatally shot by a police officer in Los Angeles and why there is not a lot of media coverage and mercifully no public outrage.  And now there's talk of rats in the New York City subway system that carry fleas that can cause Bubonic Plague.
