The Roundtable Podcast

Episode eight brings round two kid's choice of topic, and a special guest in Belle. Settling on Monsters in Pop Culture, and how we feel about them, as a society. From Slenderman, Dracula, Pennywise, and Freddy Kreuger, all the way to clowns, Mothman, and whatever Creepy Pasta is, we discuss fear of the unknown, and why what scares us, does. New: You can now submit your own topic suggestions, here: http://www.bryanstandfest.com/podcast-submit/

In the wake of the tragic Las Vegas shooting, our seventh episode brings a necessary discussion about the culture of guns in the US, and how we might make changes moving forward, that could help circumvent these all-too-frequent atrocities.

In this special episode, we are joined by our first guest, Lincoln, to discuss theories about heroes, who they are, and how the concept affects our daily lives. From Hawkeye to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., how does the way we look at our heroes shape our morals and who we look up to?

Episode five begins a discussion about technology, its advancements, and how it affects us on a social level. This may stand to be part one of a series of these discussions, as there is a great deal of important content here, that raises many questions about how are lives are impacted by this relatively new concept.

Episode four brings our first "dealer's choice" format, in which the girls pick the topic. Moving forward, this will occur every fourth episode, likely leading to some really interesting topics. This week the girls settled on the topic of magic, and hilarity and chaos ensued, along with several shoutouts to Hello from the Magic Tavern, and a fresh new cause for you to support, #StopBlackMagic2017.

In our third episode, we discuss a heavy topic, that's quite important in our society today. The ideas and concepts of rights, privileges, and the differences between them are more important now, than maybe ever. Check your privilege, and have a listen.

WARNING: AUDIO QUALITY IS SUBPAR In episode two, we went on location for dinner, and discussed the theory of time travel over pizza and salad. It's almost impossible to talk about time travel without mentioning Back to the Future or Hitler, and this is no exception. Being on-location, the audio is not optimal, and even with as much as I was able to clean it up, still sounds less than clear.

In our introductory episode, we meet the cast (Thea, 7, Charlie, 11, and Phoebe 12), discuss the format of the show, and drop straight into our unscripted roundtable discussion about love. We discuss love, caring, infatuation, romantic love, unconditional love, and more, all from the unique perspective of a group of kids with a mean age of ten. Intelligent and thoughtful discussion isn't just for adults anymore.
