Nomad-Avoids-National-Insanity-Bob Davis Podcast 975

This Nomad Avoids National Insanity

Firstly listen to Nomad-Avoids-National-Insanity-Bob Davis Podcast 975. And to my New Years Podcast here.

Peace In Campground

Secondly I have new respect for nomads and travelers who seek the peace of the campground.

New Year New Themes

Above all this podcast continues some of the themes of my new years podcast.

It’s Not Over

I don’t think the craziness is over, for example.

And we’re not going to resolve our differences anytime soon.

Hit The Road

As a result I have gone on the road. Permanently.

Not Touching Nomads

In short most of the things that are driving people crazy right now aren’t touching me.

A Fire And A Sunset Is A Good Cure

In the same vein sitting by a fire and watching the sunset will cure almost any neurosis!

Back In The Day

For example a few years ago I would have been all over the mess in the US Capitol this week.

No more.

Political Talk Is Bad Energy

To clarify many of my new listeners and subscribers don’t want the bad energy political talk brings.

Sick To Death Of It All

Even more many of my long term people are just sick to death of the whole thing.

I don’t blame them.

Coffee, Fire and Sunset

Moreover when I put the sunset, coffee and fire together, who cares?

Welcome To The Epoch Of Upheaval

Finally I would be a fool to deny we’re living through a significant period of upheaval.

No Triggers

But if you allow yourself to be triggered by every event you’re going to have a tough time.

Let Outcomes Go For Now

In addition it’s not a good idea to attach our attention to outcomes.

Stay Flexible

Most importantly we have to stay flexible.

Change and Challenge Ahead

That is to say even more change and challenge is ahead.

Pace yourselves.

The Wilderness Helps

Meanwhile getting out in the wilderness anywhere can’t hurt.

Jumping The Gun Again?

First of all they’re jumping the gun again. Learn more in Jumping-The-Gun-On-2020-Bob Davis Podcast 958.

Secondly I don’t care who wins the presidential election in 2020.

Leaps Of Faith

However I can’t ignore the leaps of faith when it comes to candidate preference polls in this election.

There Are Limits

In other words there are limits to the conclusions to be drawn from political polling.

Bob Davis Podcast Coverage Of Election 2020

Certainly this has been the subject of more than one political podcast this year.

Battleground State Review Series

Consequently it’s time for another review of the polls in the battleground states.

Even more paying special attention to balancing breathless predictions about ‘who’s going to win’.

Too Many Factors For Predictions

Most importantly there are too many factors to consider a prediction about the outcome of the vote in these battleground states.

But That Doesn’t Stop The Media

In addition it sure looks to me like media is jumping the gun. Again.

And in a world where everything one candidate does is right a proper and everything the other does is wrong and misguided, I am not surprised.

Non Partisan. No Attacks. No Defense.

Finally I don’t seek to defend or attack either mainline party candidate.

Blind Spot

Instead I point out a significant blind spot with almost all media in the United States in this election year.

Don’t Know What Will Happen November 3rd

In conclusion we don’t know what the outcome of this election will be. I think it is very difficult to predict given the many moving parts this year.

New Ballot Wrinkles

For example, absentee ballots, early voting and so on.

Balanced Coverage

To sum up I have been producing balanced coverage of these polls. That includes explanations how on they work and their limitations.

Listen to Jumping-The-Gun-On-2020-Bob Davis Podcast 958 for some poll analysis without predictions.

So-Over-Political-Talk-Bob Davis Podcast 956

So Over Political Talk

Firstly I am so over political talk. Learn more in So-Over-Political-Talk-Bob Davis Podcast 956.

It’s Wallpaper

What used to be refreshing and unique in media has finally become wallpaper.

Life In A Graphic Novel

Secondly a recent ‘presidential debate’ makes our political and real life feel like we’re in a graphic novel.

Guess What? The Old Guy Next Door Is A Political Expert Too!

Everyone has suddenly become a political expert and wants to share it with the world.

Check Out My FaceBook And YouTube Feed!

Megyn Kelly’s gonna share her ‘Predictions’ of ‘what will happen in the debate’.

So are the guys at Vanity Fair and CNBC! Stay tuned! Like and Share!

News Is Now Opinion, Right?

In the same vein the next day’s headlines are all opinion screeds from the penguin pundits.

This is not news.

What A Joke!

Seems like our current political system has produced the worst candidates in history.

No Joy On Election Night?

Above all we don’t even know if there will be a result on election night!

Talk Talk Talk

But everyone keeps talking about it.

As a result So-Over-Political-Talk-Bob Davis Podcast 956 talks about what happens one kind of content saturates a medium.

Turn On…Tune Out

People start tuning it out.

And turning it off.

What’s The Point? Clicks And Views!

Finally I have to ask. What’s the point? Who’s minds will be changed?

Frustrating, Exhausting and Boring!

In conclusion I like this podcast because of the obvious level of my frustration.

Magpies

I think much of our frustration and angst as a nation is due to all these magpies squawking on the power lines.

Time To Take Action

Most importantly I am certainly going to take some steps in the near future to further evolve the content of my podcasts. More about that in the future.

Radio Stories and Shout Outs

Meanwhile join me on a walk and talk. I’ll tell some radio stories and a few shout outs. In addition I’ll do my best to bring some clarity to this insanity.

Back to the graphic novel.
