Josh: The Podcast

Some of you got a taste of the future. Oh well. We talk Bill O'Reilly, Gronk, Sean Spicer and a couple of high-profile suicides.

Thanks for sticking with me for a year. I hope we're getting more and more awesome. We bounce around a bunch this episode, but I think there's a lot of good stuff in it.

We talk sports. Mostly baseball. Because baseball. Full show notes with links and such at http://joshshear.com/2017/04/josh-the-podcast-episode-52-talkin-baseball

I let Rep. Buddy Carter have it over the AHCA this week, and no, I don't feel bad about it. We get a little deeper into language in this episode, and how we can actually work together as humans instead of working against each other on "teams" that are hoping for the same thing -- though you wouldn't know it from listening to them.

Some real American originals have died since we last spoke. Let's talk stories. Full show notes at http://joshshear.com/2017/03/josh-the-podcast-episode-50-telling-stories

It's St. Patrick's Day in Savannah! We're one of those places with trolley tours that run 364 days a year. Christmas? Trolleys are running. New Year's? Yep. Thanksgiving? Easter? You bet. St. Patrick's Day? Nope, day off. So, who was St. Patrick? Why do we wear green? What's with the shamrocks?

I often get confused for a New York Democrat. The truth is, I don't wear team colors, and I'm from Massachusetts. I ramble a bit on where I stand policy-wise and we talk about lifting people up.

If it bleeds, it leads! Why news headlines and shows like "Law and Order" and "CSI" tap into the part of our brain that's scared of everything — and how to slow it down. Major League Baseball, Trump address Congress, Sessions lies to Congress. It's a rambler, folks! Full show notes at http://joshshear.com/2017/03/josh-the-podcast-episode-47-our-crazy-brains/.

We jump around a lot this week, discussing how the left isn't helping progressives right now, Milo Yiannopoulos, creating, why you're almost a superhero and more. Full show notes at http://joshshear.com/2017/02/josh-the-podcast-episode-46-the-repressiveregressive-left-milo-art-and-superheroes 

We talk about CHILLING THE FUCK OUT, having a lovely Valentine's dinner with my favorite lady and we touch some political participation. Get full show notes at http://joshshear.com/2017/02/josh-the-podcast…isode-45-chillin/

It's been almost three weeks since I took Twitter and Facebook off my phone. I'm not absent from the networks, my following is growing, and I'm so much more present in my everyday life. We talk a little about politics (of course), welcome family to town and the Super Bowl. Full show notes at http://joshshear.com/2017/02/josh-the-podcast-episode-44-presence

We have a much more measured reaction to the events of the day (I think; I dunno, you decide), talking about how to participate in government. We reach into the Trump did something right file!  Full show notes at http://joshshear.com/2017/02/josh-the-podcast-episode-43-participate

We talk about abundance, and of course Trump's first days. Mostly about Trump's first days. Full show notes at http://joshshear.com/podcasts/

The inauguration is upon us. Keep an eye on your government. It's meant to serve you, not the other way around. Full show notes at http://joshshear.com/2017/01/podcast-stay-vigilant

Just a little catch-up...with a twist. Special thanks to Chester Barrett and Mike Koenig for the sounds. Full show notes at http://joshshear.com/podcasts

Hoo, son, we get rambling about ethics, nuance, context, gun laws and empathy. Just listen! Go get full show notes at JoshShear.com/podcasts  

We had to reschedule a guest last minute, so Jenny and I got Kelvin on the phone. We get silly, because why not? So, have a little extra fun and happy new year! Full show notes at JoshShear.com/podcasts. Note: Audio file was edited and replaced at 12:15pm on December 31, 2016.

We did it, folks! We elected a reality TV star to the presidency — a reality TV star who hates the news media, isn't a fan of facts, and brings a litany of followers who don't really care about either of those things. We talk about what it means to be a journalist in this environment, and what it means to be a news consumer. We wandered through a whole bunch of other stuff, too.

Step into someone else's shoes and think opposite at least once a day. Alison Donaghey of Domino Thinking gets into empathy, setting a why for your business and some of her favorite tools. We talk a little bit about Canadian and American politics, charitable giving and a challenge for 2017. This was really cool. I hope you enjoy!

I had a great time speaking Ash from Ash Said It. She is SO full of energy I almost grew hair! We only spoke for about a half hour, but there are enough lessons in here for a lifetime (or at least a couple years). We discuss loss, mistakes, faith, energy, hope and creativity, and Ash offers up a challenge for you for 2017. We also talk about big news she got just a few hours before we spoke.
