    Andrea LeDew - "Polemics - Political Poems and Prose"
    Dec 5 2025
    Andrea LeDew is a Jacksonville, Florida–based writer and poet who has spent more than thirty years immersed in literature, language, law, and homeschooling. She is the author of Polemics: Political Poems & Prose, a ten-year collection covering major events in American politics from 2016 through early 2025. Her website For Random Learning Comes has been active for a decade, and her poetry has appeared in multiple literary magazines. She has also participated in regional literary events such as Jax by Jax and the St. Augustine Poet Fest. Beyond poetry, she is currently working on a novel featuring a disabled main character, drawing from her experiences as a caregiver.

    During the podcast, Andrea discussed how Polemics is organized and what inspired its structure—each piece is paired with a brief introduction explaining the political moment that sparked it. She talked about the various hot-button issues the collection addresses and why she felt compelled to include them. Andrea also explained who she believes would benefit most from reading the book, such as people interested in recent political history or those seeking to reflect on America’s turbulent past decade. Finally, she shared how her own political beliefs have evolved over the years and how that evolution is reflected throughout the collection.

  • Analysis of the Mark Kelly and Democrats’ “Illegal Orders” Message – What Was the Purpose?

    Analysis of the Mark Kelly and Democrats’ “Illegal Orders” Message – What Was the Purpose?
    Nov 30 2025
    In this episode, we break down the controversial statement released by six Democratic lawmakers warning that U.S. service members are not obligated to follow illegal orders—a point already well-established in military training. Critics on the right have labeled them the “seditious six,” arguing the message was unnecessary and inflammatory. We explore why this statement was made, what it implies, and how it has heightened public tension and speculation about what might unfold in the near future.

    We also shift to a broader discussion about America’s growing frustration with violent crime. As many citizens feel that the justice system is failing them, new proposals aimed at holding judges more accountable are gaining attention. We examine what this means for communities and for the direction of public policy moving forward.

  • Five Reasons Why the Hollywood Box Office is Losing its Glamour

    Five Reasons Why the Hollywood Box Office is Losing its Glamour
    Nov 22 2025
    In this episode, we dive into the real reasons behind Hollywood’s declining box office and why audiences aren’t showing up to theaters the way they used to. We break down how streaming services have fundamentally reshaped viewing habits, making at-home premieres the new normal and erasing the urgency of opening weekends. We also discuss how shorter theatrical windows and fragmented marketing have weakened the impact of traditional promotion.

    The commentary touches on how celebrity activism sometimes affects audience perception, and we take a hard look at the rising cost of moviegoing—tickets, concessions, and premium formats—which pushes many families toward cheaper streaming alternatives.

    Finally, we explore franchise fatigue, the lack of compelling original content, and even the growing frustration with low-quality CGI. All of these factors paint a clear picture of why the industry is struggling and what might need to change moving forward.

  • Common Sense Reasons Why the Moon Landing Was Not a Hoax

    Common Sense Reasons Why the Moon Landing Was Not a Hoax
    Oct 26 2025
    In this episode, Billy Dees takes a rational look at one of the most persistent conspiracy theories — that the Apollo moon landings were a hoax.

    While this podcast won’t convince the true believers, it offers a clear, fact-based perspective for those who are weary of misinformation and want to understand the evidence with common sense.

    Billy explores how multiple nations — including the former Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Spain — independently tracked the Apollo missions in real time. He also highlights how modern space agencies from Japan, China, India, and Europe have since photographed and verified the Apollo landing sites.

    Finally, the episode takes a fascinating look at what the astronauts actually left behind on the lunar surface — and some of the items might surprise you.

  • From a Marketing Perspective - How the Browns Damaged Their Brand

    From a Marketing Perspective - How the Browns Damaged Their Brand
    Oct 19 2025
    A professional sports franchise is more than just a team—it’s a brand. For decades, the Cleveland Browns embodied a legacy of grit and loyalty, earning a national following despite never reaching a Super Bowl. Their underdog spirit defined them, and fans held onto hope for that one fairytale season.

    But in recent years, that identity has faded. Controversial decisions, questionable trades, and a disconnect between leadership and the fanbase have left the once-proud franchise struggling with its image.

    In this episode, Billy Dees explores how the Browns’ brand unraveled—examining what went wrong inside the organization, how fans’ perceptions shifted, and what this story says about the delicate balance between loyalty, leadership, and legacy in professional sports.

He challenges listeners to think critically, not emotionally. Billy also takes a moment to respond to some of his critics from a previous episode, addressing their feedback with his trademark clarity and reasoned approach.
