So after over 2 months without any episodes of Future Chat, the intrepid hosts (and Senior Contributor) join up to catch up on each others’ summers. We end up talking quite a bit about recent political goings-on, mostly to agree to condemn white supremacy and racist dog-whistling. Unfortunately though, approaching the end of the show, the three of us couldn’t come together and agree on the best peanut butter.

If you’re wondering why the show ends with Mike playing Green Day, here’s how the episode *REALLY* started… [#BONUSCONTENT]

January 3, 2016 – Today, I introduce the new format of this podcast. Though I haven’t settled on any specifics, I’m going to aim for ~5 minute episodes discussing things that interest or have to do with me, answer questions, or generally do whatever I feel like.

In this episode, I discuss some of my challenges and triumphs with weight loss in the last year.

This is part of a project I’ve tentatively called Make More wherein I am going to do and put out something creative every day for 2016. When that thing is just me talking into a microphone, it will be here. I hope you get something out of it.
