In this episode of Old & Confused, we roll out a sampling of what we call 'Segments.' These Segments are short riffs on a dozen topics we find interesting, like The Organ Recital, Can We Have a Word, The Bucket List, Artsy Fartsy, Tech Desk, Road Trip, etc. We're planning to feature a couple of these Segments in upcoming episodes. Old & Confused boldly plunges headlong into charted and uncharted waters. Join Mike and Jon as they dog paddle to keep their heads above water in search of fascinating insights and surprising inspirations!

Admit it, you can't stop thinking about electric cars. Maybe it's the price of gas, or climate change, or Nick Saban retiring from Alabama. Old & Confused hosts Mike and Jon are here to help guide you through the myriad of factors involved in buying an EV. Too much? Fortunately, this episode features the experiences of two guys who have taken the plunge and lived to tell about it. They share their thoughts on range anxiety, self-driving cars, total cost of ownership, and their almost child-like glee in silently rolling past gas stations and repair shops. Join us - you'll get a charge out of it. (note: the internet is full of websites with information on EVs - one of our interviewees suggests ⁠https://forthmobility.org/showcase/electric-cars-101⁠ )

Is going to church not your thing? Well, you're not alone. Tens of millions of Americans have stopped attending church. This episode of Old & Confused explores what the hell has made going to hell less scary. Blessedly, two men of the cloth join Mike and Jon to discuss this trend and what some churches are doing about it. They also take on the hilarious hypocrisy of small "e" evangelicals who are staking out the lunatic fringe of the small "c" christian nationalist movement. Whether you church or dechurch, you'll want to listen in on this heavenly discussion.
