Description

My podcast has you in mind. The varied content ranges from news and social issues to the perspectives of experts who may have particularly insightful views and can offer clarity on what is happening around us.

Our content is intended for a general audience, just like a newspaper or magazine with sections for various people, hoping they will also read the areas where they may have a lesser interest. So, follow your interests and discover new ones.

I want our discussions to deepen your faith and service to others, as well as give your life greater purpose and meaning.

I call my podcast The Kubik Report so that it will be easy to remember and find. Just type those words into any browser address bar—and there we are!

Rex Sexton and I talk about Alfred the Great was King from 871 to 899 and is the only English monarch ever given the title “the Great.” He ruled during one of the most dangerous periods in early English history, when Viking (Danish) armies were conquering much of Anglo-Saxon England. He launched the greatest literary Renaissance that Anglo-Saxon England ever knew.  He was a seasoned warrior, a scholar, a poet, a lawgiver, an architect of towns and ships, and a zealous Christian.   Rex and I talk about lessons we could learn about us and our heritage from him.

Michael Snyder discusses the very dangerous state of the world right now.  Iran is about to be attacked.
