I'm back again for what is turning out to be a once yearly podcast. How did I ever do this weekly back in 2005? Today's interview is with Neil Ellwood, age 22. He grew up all over Canada and is a smart young man who is a fan of the show, and has thought about the questions. I love talking to young adults, as they always make me ponder if I lost the fresh view of life!  I can be reached via email address:[email protected] Or follow me on Twitter:  @sgrandys

Today's interview is with Charmaine, age 38. She is lovely, funny and speaks her mind.  She is in the process of rediscovering herself and being on her own after a long marriage, and rather liking what she is finding. Tune in for another delightful view of life!  I can be reached via email address:[email protected]   Or follow me on Twitter:  @sgrandys Enjoy!  

I'm back! And hopefully done with all the surgery crap. I'm starting another round of guests. I start with an old friend to ease back into things and get my editing and tools back on track. This interview is with Terry, age 62 - founding member of the Lady Poetesses from Hell. She is sweet and quirky, and a very kind soul. Enjoy!  I can be reached via email address at:[email protected] You can also follow me on Twitter by hitting the "Follow Me on Twitter" button on this page in my Links section on the bottom right of this page.

After another long haitus, more surgery, I suddenly pop back in with a new show. No guest, just something that has been preying on my mind over the last year. I ask a lot of questions around Creativity, and if it is caused by our hormones only and what do you do when they go away? Can you still be creative? I ask the listeners to send me email or audio on their ideas on the subject. I really am looking for the answer to this one, so I hope you all participate! My email address is:[email protected] Gmail takes files up to about 20Mb, so if you record audio - send it to me at 64 or 96 kbps, and if it is too big, break it up into a couple of emails. Otherwise send me an email on your ideas and I'll read it on a follow up show to this one. Thanks everyone! I hope to hear from you!

After a year of retirement from the show - I was tempted out by an interview with New York Times best selling Science Fiction and Fantasy writer Steven Brust.He is warm, wry, funny and personable - a delightful interview!To learn more about Steven, here is a link to a Wikipedia page on him:Steven Brust Wiki Page.My email address has changed - I can be reached at:[email protected] knows what the future will bring. Will I be tempted back out ofretirement by another irresistible guest? Stay tuned!

Welcome to the 3rd Anniversary show of Uncomfortable Questions!This is a very fun interview with a guest from Finland. I loved doing this one. I talk to Mikko, age 31 - Transhumanist, do-gooder and Asshole.He is delightfully cheeky, and a deep thinker. Some of the concepts he presents are not immediately intuitive, so he sent me a link to a 1 page paper he wrote on his philosophy. Please read it, it is funny and makes things a lot clearer. Get it at: http://mjr.iki.fi/texts/lueThe link Mikko mentions on the show for the Singularity Institute is at:http://www.singinst.orgAlso a link to more information on Transhumanism - http://www.transhumanism.orgYou can send me email at: [email protected].

I'm back! This is a short show, to get me back on track after surgery, andtoo much life in general.A listener sent me in a 10 minute piece for her own podcast that was heranswer to the "What Is the Universe?" show that I did a few months ago.Check her out at www.braindouche.net.I included her piece and also went on with some musings of my own on"Is Life Fair - And Should It Be?".Send me your own thoughts or comments at [email protected] (if you want to send a sound file, use this one - it can handle upwards of 20MB files - or you can send mail also to : [email protected] show is my 3rd Anniversary show, and I hope to bring you something really special.

This turned out to be a very different show. I interview Dan L.,age 62, a free thinker from Texas. He was a career military man, andI was interested to hear about life from him, as I have little contactwith that world.He was unsurprisingly quite the realist, but did surprise me with thedepth to which he believed in empowering people and elevating humanity.There is a lot of talk of politics, which I try to avoid, but it tied in so muchwith the views of how governments should use the military, so I left it all in. Take it as another world view, whether you agree with it or not!Email me at [email protected]

Today we go back to the traditional interview format, and talkto Christy, age 25 - A free spirited Engineer.Sorry this one is so late - I collided with the nasty flu going aroundthat the flu shot doesn't protect you against. Followed by anothercold - 4th one this winter. Do I get a prize for collecting them all?!!Send me email at:[email protected] to do the show are always in demand!

This is a non-traditional single question show. I got only 3 answers on last months question to the audience:If we are here for a reason, are we here to explore the me, or transcend the me?The ones who braved the question were:- Big Phil, from show #36 - of Big Phil's Love Parade- Graviton Ring, show #48- Christy - (a guest of my roommate who was wandering through the house. Yes I will go to any lengths to get answers - no one is safe!).As always, email me at:[email protected] month we will have a full traditional interview with my new found victim, Christy!
