This time we discuss my failing bp stock, my utter lack of preparedness, my english essay on “Lost”, and an itemization of the ways I hate Ithaca NY.

Unfortunately, the recording computer in the studio was on the fritz and was unable to make an mp3 of this episode, although I should add that the broadcasting computer did a fine job of streaming it live.
I had a guest, and I read my last short story, “Sex Drugs and Walking”. I was really sleep deprived so I don’t recall much else…

3 people I knew died this year, and this episode is my response.
A tribute to those no longer with us,
so their lives may not be so easily forgotten,
with a hope to prevent future loss.

I’ve been complemented many times for my brief ramble about the Cornell Daily Sun in Episode 2, so I decided to devote an entire episode to this. In this episode we delve into an issue of the Daily Sun. We rip it apart article by article, one horribly written piece by one horribly written piece. Enjoy.

Pure Unadulterated Peirce. No Script. No Guest. Echoes of Applause
Since last week’s show was overprepared, the obvious choice was to bring balance to the universe by going completely unscripted. The drawback? People familiar with me ran to the hills when I told them I’d think of something on the spot, so no guests. The advantage? You get to listen in on how I’ve destroyed any possibility of a future political career.
Enjoy

The theme of this show was fiat capital in America, its history and its relation to the current financial crisis. Unfortunately, the script was too long, so we only got to 1933…awkward
The script was 20 pages long, and it may seem like I’m shouting at you. Speaker saturation gives more force to my words, like nails on a chalkboard.
