Welcome to MICRO BREAK Season 2! On this episode of MICRO BREAK (Episode 40), I am delighted, and somewhat afraid, to have the host of the Listen! Listen! Listen! podcast, Curtis Elton on the show. Speaking non-stop in each episode, you'd think he'd actually say something valuable. WRONG! The show has NO THEME...NO USEFUL INFORMATION...NO, NOT THAT EITHER! What it does have is funny, completely random and crazy non-stop talking lasting only a couple of minutes per episode.  Linktree https://linktr.ee/MICRO_BREAK Website https://www.podpage.com/micro-break/ Resources: Listen!

Welcome to MICRO BREAK Season 2! On this episode of MICRO BREAK (Episode 35), we break down in 15 steps, what might define a miserable person. The definition of a miserable person is wretchedly unhappy or uncomfortable. That is pretty spot on, don’t you think? When a person is miserable, they never see or expect the good in anything and always try to make those around them feel just as bad and negative as them. Being miserable is a way of life for some people, because they get sympathy, constant reassurance from other miserable people and a sense of self, defined by whatever circumstance they find themselves in.

Welcome to MICRO BREAK Season 2! On this episode of MICRO BREAK (Episode 29), we go back to the '80s – a time when computers and pop culture collided. Music in the 1980s was all about image and with the advent and popularity of MTV, the images that accompanied artists became more important than ever. When it came to music during the decade, nothing was understated, not the sound, not the fashion, not even the charity. The 1980s reflected the beginning of a period of great income disparity and a focus on affluence was reflected in the music. There were also several new genres that popped up including, Hip Hop, New Wave and Hair Metal, all of which have influenced music today. This is an episode that should not be passed up!
