CROSSTOWN TRAFFIC

 

OCTOBER 08, 2023      AARON SMITH      SEASON 1      EPISODE 54

 

SHOW NOTES:

Today, in Episode 1 of Season 2, we discuss the disproportionate focus on catastrophe in the media and the reality of our lives. We also discuss what authority and leadership are, as well as the power of symbols. Clowns abound, my friends, clowns abound, but we must not allow ourselves to be lured into believing that just because something is outlandish,  it isn't dangerous.
