A Hit Dog Will Holler from Radiotopia Presents

Thor is a Norse god who wields a hammer, controls thunder and lightning and gets carted around in a chariot by a couple of magical goats. He's also a quippy, long-haired superhero hunk who stars in a series of children's movies. How does this make sense? This week we try to get to the bottom of just what is going on with this guy, but first we complain about going to the bank.

JaMychal Green - introductory press conference (8/1/22)

Hold on to your hats, folks, we're about to break the internet because this week's topic is VHS tapes! It's the obsolete technology everyone can't stop talking about, and we're covering everything about it, from its initial development to a deep dive into technical specs. Plus, Tom has a thrilling tale of taking a VCR apart when he was a kid. Believe me, you're not gonna wanna miss this one!See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

In the quiet moments of our lives, we can all sense that our hearts long for something, though we often don’t know what that something is. We seek an answer in our phones, and while they can provide some sense of extension and fulfillment — a feeling of magic — the use of technology also comes with significant costs in individual development and interpersonal connection that we typically don’t fully understand and consider.

My guest today will unpack what it is we really yearn for, how technology, when misused, can direct us away from the path to fulfilling those yearnings, and how we can find true human flourishing in a world in which so much works against it. His name is Andy Crouch and he’s the author of The Life We’re Looking For: Reclaiming Relationship in a Technological World. Today on the show we talk about the tradeoffs you make when you seek magic without mastery, and how we can understand our desires better once we understand ourselves as heart, soul, mind, and strength complexes who want to be loved and known. We discuss the difference between interactions that are personal versus personalized, as well as the difference between devices and instruments, and how to use your phone as the latter instead of the former. We end our conversation with why Andy thinks we need to redesign the architecture of our relational lives and create something he calls “households.”

#796: The Life We’re Looking For

As the old saying goes "you can get around faster if you put wheels on your feet" and sure enough, roller skates has proven that true. This week we're talking about roller skates, roller blades, roller rinks and for some reason, the comic book store in the town we grew up in,.See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

When it comes to improving our lives and reaching our goals, we often think of changing our personal habits and routines. We think about ourselves, but don’t look outside ourselves. But my guest would say that if we really want to change and make progress, we also need to surround ourselves with positive, strengthening people, and in particular, five types of “allies of glory” who can truly help us be our best.

His name is Antonio Neves and he’s an author, speaker, podcaster, and success coach. Today on the show, Antonio and I discuss the importance of relationships in moving us forward in our personal and career goals, the difference between allies who facilitate that progress and the thieves who hinder it, and how to minimize the influence that the latter have on us. We then get into the five kinds of allies Antonio says we need in our lives, and he unpacks what each of these allies offers. We end our conversation with Antonio’s advice for how to find these allies and expand your social and professional networks.
