Whole Lot of Nonsense – Show 108 – NaPodPoMo and art as a goal of change…

National PodCast Post Month has begun. This year, I’ve chosen to share a poem a day. Okay, what does poetry have to do with living the change? Yeah, Chris Cavs is already hassling me about haikus with butterflies, but poetry is something I live as an example of *why* I live the change. Life is more than protests and getting up in somebody’s face. It’s not always puppy dogs and rainbows, but art has its place, too. Well, subscribe to the feed and find out what a month’s worth of poetry sounds like.

Whole Lot of Nonsense – Show 107 – Change is hard… but it’s worth it…

A week of "vacation"? How is it that I can be so exhausted after that? Am I doing it rong akshully? Yeah, in part. I need to reconoiter what change means on a daily basis. And yes, there’s some boat metaphors in here.

I throw out some props to Len from Jawbone, Scott Sigler, and the Big Guy of the week, JC Hutchins

Whole Lot of Nonsense – Show 106 – How do pharma marketing conferences live the change?

It’s been a long day being involved in the Digital Pharma Marketing conference. A fair reminder, I work for a pharmaceutical company. What’s this got to with “living the change that we want to see”? I feel as though I’m trying to help people understand Social Media. So many marketers just want to jump in and do some shouting. I’m hoping I can help them grok the space first.

Whole Lot of Nonsense – Show 105 – If the whole world homeschooled, what would it look like?

Discussion around the feedback from Alexandre Enkerli. This is the second of two parts answering the two-fold question, “What about socialisation?” as well as “What if everybody homeschooled, what would socialisation look like?” It’s always hard when the discussion turns to self-realisation, doesn’t it? This week runs a bit longer, but I think it’s still worth it

Whole Lot of Nonsense – Show 103 – Homeschooling feedback… from JR Murdock

Feedback from JR Murdock. This renowned Podiobook author has some thought provoking discussion about the nature of parental involvement. That’s my theme I’m going to stick with… there’s more than just that, but it’s what I’m running with. Thanks JR, for such well-constructed thoughts.

Show 104 will give an opportunity to revisit some theme from Alex Enkerli.

Whole Lot of Nonsense – Show 102 – Homeschooling feedback… from Alexandre Enkerli

Feedback from Alexandre Enkerli. He’s teaching an education course, and he has an interesting perspective about some of the concepts of education in general. This show is all about the conversation, right? Well, Alex certainly gives us some topics for conversation. I’ve got a short piece to go with *this* feedback, and need to save some other points for a future show.

Show 103 will have some feedback from JR Murdock… I’m ecstatic to have so much content.

Whole Lot of Nonsense – Show 101 – A few more thoughts on homeschooling.

Show 101 – No. I missed a week, not you…

A bit more about homeschooling. I have just a bit more of a story I don’t think I’ve gotten out. I also give you some names to work with, John Holt, and Ivan Ilich. Yep, I’ve done some hardcore educational reading… I don’t *just* make it up as I go along… not all the time anyway.

Whole Lot of Nonsense – Show 100 – It’s about time… Let’s talk homeschooling.

Show 100… finally…

Homeschooling. It’s not just freakazoids. Ok, maybe it is, because I’m one of ‘em…

I have some non-freakazoids who give us all some feedback about what drives some parental decisions about homeschooling, some of which is in two part harmony. Thanks to Mike and Jack for kicking in such amazing feedback.
