Media Stuff and Things with Danny Wardwell

We take a break from the paranormal and fantasy topics to talk about something else we enjoy: visual and audial media. From the struggles of streaming on Twitch to the subjective opinions about "good" music, our conversation is more laid back this time, but still with sprinkles of analytical insight about how these things affect daily life. Timestamps 2:10 Streaming Struggles : Doing that Twitch thing can be a daunting experience. Whether it's a career or a hobby, it takes dedication like any other job. ​8:12 Danny Has a Job : Danny works at a local TV station as a behind-the-scenes employee for live news production. It's the live production part about it that's fun while the news side of it isn't interesting. This gets us talking about about the availability of jobs for people who go to college for audio/video degrees. ​12:33 Music and Repose : Music is relaxing, whether you're listening or performing. Would it be worthwhile turning it into a job? ​18:13 Music Influences : What is "good" taste in music? Well, the short answer is all music is good. Listening to music is a subjective and personal experience for each and every individual person. ​26:10 Machine Mentality : Make no mistake -- the music business is a machine. We discuss some of the effects this can have on people. ​30:16 Music Influences Continued : Life circumstances can influence when and how you discover and indulge in certain kinds of music. 37:23 Movie and TV Banter : A question about trivia knowledge leads to a talk about how religion and science are represented in creative fiction. Then, Danny pitches one of his favorite shows. 48:00 Danny's Past and Future : Before we close out the episode, Danny shares more interesting bits about his past in relation to where he is now. This gets us thinking about education standards in different parts of the world -- we'll explore this more in the future. ​ 52:27 Closing Banter
