More Projectile Ballistics with Dr. Devin Pettigrew - Ep 170

On this episode, David is by himself and does not know what to talk about. So he rants and rambles about his dog lecture on youtube. Which then leads him to discussing how he edits videos, photos, and how he practices public speaking.

He talks about how he went from editing memes on photoshop to how he lights his cave scenes, and then talks about Oppenheimer and Tarentino movies and what makes them work. He then talks about how speeches and lectures are almost like standup comedy and how you can practice public speaking by making PowerPoints about what you love.

An interview on life in Colombia, academia, and self-empowerment media with coach Margie Serrato, Ph.D. - Ep 166

On this episode of A Life in Ruins, Carlton takes a well-earned break while Connor and David chat. They start out chatting about David’s new tattoo and some Lord of the Rings lore. They do talk some anthropology concerning the effects of tattoos on the body and the experience itself, and also how Boromir applies to anthropology.

The last two-thirds of the show, David discusses the history of rice cultivation, with a focus on the Southeastern Coast of the United States and the West Coast of Africa. This is a very heavy topic and they do their best to talk about the anthropology of rice, the African diaspora and the modern day implications and expressions of this history. Please be warned that while atrocities are not specifically delved into, it might be triggering to some people.
