The Post Pandemic Panic

 Of course we are nowhere near a post pandemic situation, but that doesn't stop Ric from taking a look at how some things in our world will change from all of this. Specifically, the change coming from the world of media. We have certainly seen a change in the way certain things are covered and there has been a rise in all sorts of fake news. 

But if it is one thing people can do rather well, it is to adapt. Part of the adaption process will probably see an end to such fake news silliness. Certainly, the term "mainstream media" is already dead. So who do you trust? Simple. The one that is not lying to you no matter where it is coming from.

It's All An Act

 Everything you consume through any sort of media is not being honest with you. It's not so much an outright lie as it is just in the manner of presentation. In this episode, Ric is going to lay out the vibe all content creators go with when it comes to the dissemination of any thing. 

From all your news to your music, it's all a big fat lie carefully designed to do one thing. Here's a hint, Ric will explain this by using two bands KISS & Ghost.

The Unravelling of An Idiot

Occasionally, you get to see reason surmount in situations that beg you to wonder where in the world reason has gone. In this case, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. He's being sued for some consequences as a result of his rabid and false statements. Specifically the Sandy Hook school shooting.

You'll hear some excerpts from his deposition he gave a couple weeks ago. All in the interest of transparency.
