    About this Episode

    What's up Night Shift Alumni?!

    This week's podcast is a bit of mixed bag as I touch on numerous subjects from elaborating on Dostoevsky's quote in "The Idiot" about how "Beauty Will Save The World" and how we must embrace innocence and beauty especially right now in what I like to call the "age of cynicism".

    In addition I also answer a fan question what we must do when our kids become indoctrinated by SJW universities and rant a bit about the mainstream media and go into a bit of detail about the whys and whats surrounding what we conservatives/libertarians/centrists must do while we reform the media landscape.

    I like to call shows like this "podcast potpourri" as you'll never know what you're going to find when you dig in the bag!

    Like always if you enjoy today's podcast

    Thanks and God bless!

    Episode 22: "The Green Elephant in The Room" Part 2 featuring Todd Deering aka SSL Family Dad

    Hello Night Shift Alumni,

     

    Hope you're having a rocking labor day weekend!


    The Darn Messenger is having a hacking Labor Day weekend unfortunately as whatever is going around has decided to pay him a visit. But the show must go on and what a show it is this week!

    Because of that, I can safely say that this week's episode of Shoot The Darn Messenger is brought to you by DayQuil! Okay. . .well, store brand Day Time Cold and Flu Formula, technically, but who really cares?

    On this episode I sat down (over the phone) with Todd Deering aka SSL Family Dad from Youtube to discuss the importance of organic, local agriculture and give his take on homesteading, farming, gardening and much more (even a bit of football talk!).

    Give it a listen and if you like it, please share it far and wide on social media and give it a like on Facebook! Your support means a lot.

    Thanks and God bless,

    Episode 21: "The Green Elephant In The Room" Part 1 featuring Damian Mason

    Howdy, folks!

    This episode as heard on WBCQ "The Planet" shortwave 7490 is part one of a two part series devoted to the topic of agriculture.

    On this week's episode I sat down (on the phone, of course!) with Damian Mason, a professional speaker and agricultural expert. Damian is a strong proponent of promoting agriculture as a business and believes strongly in using technology to make America more food secure and prosperous. 

    It was an amazing interview and Damian was never lacking of words throughout.

    Be sure to join me for part 2 next week as I interview Todd, the SSL Family Dad from SSL Family Farms to get his local, organically minded views on the subject as well.

    Thanks and God bless,

    Episode 20: "Live Free and Let Music Live" featuring Elinor Swanson and Sidney Coast

    What's going on party people?

    This week I interviewed Elinor Swanson, Libertarian Party candidate for congress from Billings, MT. She gave me a little information about her views on liberty and her platform.

    I also was joined in studio by my good buddy Sidney Coast, Atlanta area DJ/producer to discuss music.

    Definitely one of those shows that combines both the politics thing and the awesomeness thing!

    Hope you guys enjoy! If you do, please give it a like and share on your favorite social media platform.

    Episode 19: "Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace" Part 2 featuring Dustin Ussery and Ryan Martinez

    Episode 19: "Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace" Part 2 featuring Dustin Ussery and Ryan Martinez

    Why just have one episode on free speech when two is twice as nice?

    On this week's episode I sat down with Dustin Ussery of the Constitution Party of Texas and Libertarian Party congressional candidate Ryan Martinez to talk about freedom of speech, digital media, third parties and a variety of other topics. 

    Each interview compliments the other quite well and both influencers make great cases on which the said topics are important as well as provide a lot of food for thought for those who are uninitiated on their respective party platforms.

    Be sure to give it a listen and if you like it, please share it on Twitter, Facebook, Gab or your favorite social media platform because your support makes a huge differences and helps the show in many ways.

    Thanks and God bless,

    P.S. CORRECTION: On the show I accidently called Homer's work "Homer" instead of "The Iliad" by mistake. No one is perfect, definitely not me!

    Episode 17: "I will survive!" feat. Survival Expert Kenny Lewis

    How's it going? 


    Well, I'm finally getting around to posting this interview. Sorry for the delay. . .I was out of town and sometimes that can be a bit of a hassle! 

    In this episode I interview survival expert Kenny Lewis. Kenny Lewis has over 20 years of experience working with such groups as the US Navy, NASA and police departments all over the country. Kenny runs seminars named "In Plain View" where he teaches people how to survive with things that literally are in plain view. . .aka anything! 

    I had a great time interviewing Kenny and without a doubt, this is one of the most informative interviews I've given to date.

    Special thanks to all of you who listened to me on Sunday EST 8-9pm on WBCQ "The Planet" shortwave 7490. I'll be right back this coming Sunday at the same time so please listen if you can!

    If you enjoy this video, please share it as that goes a long way.

    Thanks and God bless,

    The Darn Messenger

    Episode 16: "Surfin' the Shortwaves and Growin' Your Own (VEGETABLES!)"

    Episode 16: "Surfin' the Shortwaves and Growin' Your Own (VEGETABLES!)"

    Greetings Earthlings,

    I come from the vast recesses of radio space. . .

    Well, not yet. But starting this Sunday I will be on WBCQ The Planet from 8-9 PM. I'm going to test the waters for a month before deciding whether to make it permanent and in this podcast I discuss a little bit about my decision and why I chose to do it.

    This episode is a bit of a laid back, less frills kind of episode as it is a bit shorter and I took it as an opportunity to test out some new equipment to use for the show (and yes, I decided to scrap the pop filter just in case you were about to mention that!). Don't let its brevity fool you though, it's still packed with lots of great gardening advice for you n00bs out there and I think you'll enjoy it if you enjoy shortwave radio and homesteading talk.

    Thank you so much for listening and God bless,

    Episode 15: "I'm Not a Sniper, I Just Play One In The Ring"

    Episode 15: "I'm Not a Sniper, I Just Play One In The Ring"

    Hello Night Shift Alumni!

    Finally. . .the Darn Messenger. . .HAS COME BACK. . .to Liiiiibssssyyynnn. . . .

    I find it only appropriate to steal from The Rock in this description because on this episode of Shoot The Darn Messenger I sat down and had a bit of a pow wow with my ol' friend Radu Bulat - professional wrestler from the UK.

    We talked a great deal about wrestling, current events and politics and even tied in all three together at one point. 

    Radu gives great insight into pro wrestling and even shares a few stories that he's heard a long the way. He's not all brawn though, as you will find out, because he's just as clever and as cheeky as anyone else you'll ever meet and that shows with this very thorough, diverse discussion.

    Hope you enjoy it! Be sure to follow me on Twitter if you haven't already @ShootTDM or on Facebook - Facebook.

    Thanks and God Bless,

    Episode 14: Prosperity Preachers, Rap and Hellboy

    YO!

    How's it going guys? It's been awhile since I've posted a new episode because it's been hectic as of late but I hope you enjoy this one. Recently I interviewed and had a conversation with a new friend, a young protestant theologian about a few differences and commonalities in the way we see the world. We talked a lot about mega churches, the prosperity gospel, and other topics.

    We had a good time and it was a great example of what this podcast is about: real people, real opinions.

    Thanks and God bless,
