CTInsideOut

We chime in on whether Connecticut Man has something on Florida Man, particularly as it pertains to Congressional wannabee/potential Trump co-conspirator Robert Hyde. We examine the local meme wars and pontificate what exact is going on in the CT GOP and the Bridgeport BOE. We hopefully avoid being put on any lists.

Who gets to be electable, in federal politics, in state politics, in local politics? Are local boards and commissions more rigorous than the office of the President? Why are we still talking about electability? Join us for, god willing, the last word on the subject.

We prep for what may be impending doom and think about the possibilities for the collapse of Western society (unwelcome version), go-bags for surviving various types of zombies, securing a resilient grid, and the inevitable fight between predators and twilight vampires.

On this episode, we look at the idea of selling investors on the idea of profitability instead of being an actual functioning business? Who could say which is riskier? We examine the case studies of Amazon, Theranos, Facebook, and The Edison Patent co. How does this apply to a run-through of mid-aughts basic cable crime dramas? Only wise early investors in this radical social talking experiment will find out.

An episode exploring the various unsavory impressions and stereotypes of towns from within CT's border. What towns have deadly rivalries? Would you live any place with Haven in it? Will anybody in CT still want to listen to this podcast after this episode?

Here we discuss the user experience of local news journalism and why is it broken, wither paywalls, should news and advertisements be delivered directly to your door. Amanda enjoys the surveillance state if it's smart enough. Who wants a cookie?

On this episode, we professionally roast the baby boomer generation and wonder why this generation gap feels so pronounced. Is calling this tension out akin to a hate crime? Why can't older folks recognize we're no longer in "boom" times? Will we ever be rid of the wallpaper and carpeted floors?

"Very Fine People", every member of the Trump Family using a private email server, selling weapons used to bomb Yemeni schoolbuses, seeking ways to attack legal immigrants, launching a career based on refusing to rent to black tenants, abandoning Kurdish allies, deleting climate change data from the EPA website, Scott Pruitt's mystery mattress, ending FBI's targeting of white nationalists prior to an unprecedented spike in hate crimes, and a litany of sexual predators and abuser in appointed positions like Roy Moore, Steve Bannon, Corey Lewandowski,Rob Porter, Andrew Puzder and more. These are some of the issues we did not have time to discuss in this supersized rapid-fire discussion of Trump's many crimes

We start a few new blood feuds and total destroy the Institute For Moving Vans and Denny's-based Tallahassee Economic Development's studies on why people are leaving the state. We explore if sports teams are integral to having some sense of state pride and whether our flag should redesigned into something resembling white guilt. We wonder aloud what state pride might even look like and how we missed out on it in the first place.

A spectre is haunting Connecticut and the past is a strange, foreign land, full of tons of gun manufacturers, video rental places, interchanges to nowhere, and shopping centers to be. Why, in Soviet Hamden, asphalt even drove on cars! Some of these ghosts linger into the present, leaving chemical traces to clean up along the way. Other things we've attempted to clean up in not-so-savory ways, while nature keeps finding a way to reassert itself despite our best efforts to dominate. Join us on a spooktacular Halloween adventure

What are McMansions and why should you know about them as a Connecticutian (sorry, Steve)? Would you like to learn about when a butler is supposed to greet you at the door or many turrets is too many turrets? Is inciting a factional class war between different segment of the rich worthwhile?

On this very special episode, we attempt to stay positive and use good vibes only to talk what we love about death, which naturally leads us to immediately talk about death, but then there's some chatter about pumpkins, autumn's sensory delight, halloween, and the culture shock of places without a New England autumn.

On this episode, we explore the concept of basicness through the lens of CT's static image of steady-habits and conformity, which we unpack into the need for revolutionary class struggle. No, seriously. Enjoy whatever this was.

On this episode, we play a game of Connecticut would you rather that finds us going into our late period self-referential and pretentious period. We discuss baller-ass vacations, tankers vs zombies, and whether Chris Murphy would smell after his walk across the state. We make sacrifices, "wrestle" with local politics, try on some shorts, and get cancelled by CT treasures.

On this episode, we tackle the military-industrial complex and explore why defense gets so deeply embedded in supposedly liberal peacenik states like CT and how easy it is to get not one, but two nuclear submarines. Our contribution to the nuclear arms race even has a tourist site in CT. We also take a look at whether muskets are the best line of home defense, whether the future is more steampunk than previously imagined, and who should be the soldiers of the future.
