cable news

Current events in the world today can be a lot to deal with even as a regular person. You got war in Ukraine, anti-democracy and pro-Putin forces in a major political party, a movement against LGBTQ and trans people, COVID, and environmental worries to name just a few things. And it might be even more intense if you’re one of the people producing the news. S.E. Cupp has to follow the news very closely, it’s part of her job at CNN and as a newspaper columnist. But she says the close proximity to things like the war in Syria and school shootings have taken their toll on her and she hasn’t always had a great strategy for managing that kind of potentially traumatic stress. S.E. was in line in a store last summer, just out running errands, when she checked her Twitter feed and saw a kid on a ventilator. That sight was the final straw and she had a terrifying panic attack that wounded her mind pretty severely. She’s more functional now, though she says she’ll never be the same. And that experience has prompted her to make some big changes in how she approaches something like social media.

Are you living life distracted? Consider your use of the internet, social media, online streaming, and the amount of time you may spend obsessed with national news, politicians, and celebrities. While there may not be anything inherently wrong with these things, it's important to realize that these areas reflect a secondhand version of life, and can distract you from focusing and living in the world right in front of you. The goal isn't necessarily to remove technology from your life, but to understand its power, and to use it as a tool for God's Kingdom rather than let it use you. Don't live in the shadow of the treasures that deserve a primary place in your heart and actions.

Andrew and Johnny welcome the hilarious Pat McGann to the show! Backup is needed on trampolines being better than pools, continuing to use a Yahoo email address, rinsing dishes before putting them in the dishwasher and news anchors needing to be more serious on election night. 

For more than two decades, Michelle Linn has been getting up in the middle of the night to  prepare to give the world the news when it wakes up.  Originally anchoring the morning news in Columbia, MO on KMIZ-17 for 13 years, Michelle has spent the last decade waking up with audiences in Tulsa on KOKI Fox 23. In this episode, Michelle gives us a behind the scenes look at balancing her very public life with her role  of wife and mother.

As the evolution of news consumption evolves, so does Michelle. A mother of four, Michelle's life experiences empower her both on and off the air.  They also help her rise above the criticism that inevitably comes with being a public figure. Audiences may expect Michelle Linn to be perfect, but as you'll learn, she's comfortable in her own skin and confident to do her own thing. Join us for her refreshing and inspiring perspective.

Michelle Linn Hodge, Morning Anchor
KOKI-TV Fox 23, Tulsa, OK.

The guys open the show with Coronavirus talk and discuss how the media's constant "chicken little" approach to covering stories has earned them no respect from people who have grown up watching cable news. Then they get into the nuts and bolts of a video project Dustin is working on for a major airline tech company and using the BMPCC 6K in real life. This leads to talk about the storage, format and battery life options that Dustin has been weighing for his BMPCC shoots. The guys discuss how the virus is affecting their work schedules and income, and how it might actually be a good thing. Before wrapping, the guys hit on videos by Daniel Schiffer and Peter McKinnon and give their thoughts on outsourcing editing.
