TMI 10/16/2020 – Occupy the Solution with Brenda Konkel, Create the Institution with Killer Mike, and Smell the Delusion in the Swing States

On this episode of TMI:

Homelessness plagues America, and Madison, Wisconsin is no exception to the issue. Candidates and office-holders bemoan the problem, but a true SOLUTION is being put forward by Occupy Madison. Brenda Konkel joins us to share what OM’s plans are for their SECOND Tiny Home village, an improvement over their already successful FIRST one – listen in, and find out what it means to take action!

Then – it’s known that the longer money stays within a community, the better that community does financially. While a dollar spent in the white-owned economy stays active for weeks, a dollar spent in the black community leaves within just six hours. Enter Killer Mike and his backers, creating Greenwood Bank, a black-owned institution that will help give black and latinx people an even playing field in the economy.

Finally, we hear about how important “swing states” are  in the Presidential election, but we don’t often explore how polluted with misinformation these places can be. We explore this, and much more on TMI for Friday, October 16, 2020! Listen in for your Cure for the Common Media!

TMI 10/09/2020 – Trump’s Aging Support, A Grim Curtain Call, and Aldous’ Common Dream

On today’s episode of TMI:

Noticed initially a few months back, President Trump’s support among one of the GOP’s most staunch base, white people over 60, seems to be declining. We examine what this might mean for November 3rd.

Then, we talk about what has been happening among the movie industry this year, something we’ve been told has been on the decline now for years. Is the era of GOING to the movies over? We discuss.

Finally, yours truly has an OpEd published on Common Dreams this week, all about recognizing the patterns of history in this election enough to step outside, and with luck, change them. We go through that piece, making sure to highlight what’s important. All this and MORE on TMI with Aldous Tyler for Friday, October 9th, 2020, airing at 5pm Central on WSUM 91.7 FM in Madison, WI or listen below! Tune in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media.

Friend of TMI Carl Gibson joins us to discuss his piece at Free Chicken and Beer, entitled “Civil War II is Already Underway”, and how we need to fight to preserve the Union.

Then, we cover Governor Evers’ latest COVID-19 Emergency Order, and why it is we can’t seem to just cooperate to flatten the curve.

TMI 09/11/2020 – Sturgis and UW’s Common Thread, the Vanishing Scientific Journals, and Trump’s “Rage” with Woodward

When you think of the annual motorcycle rally in Sturgis, SD, you don’t usually make connections to the campus of UW Madison – but 2020 being what it is, there’s an unfortunate resemblance this time. We’ll go over that.

Then, there have been dozens of scientific journals that have disappeared in the last few years, causing potential research gaps of alarming proportions.

Finally, we have a selection of the recorded conversations Bob Woodward had with President Trump – recorded with Trump’s permission! – for Woodward’s book “Rage”, and they are damning. If you wanted to hear it for yourself, this is your chance! All this and more on TMI for Friday September 11th, 2020! Listen in for your Cure for the Common Media!
