'uncomfortable Questions'

Join me in when Charlie takes on the "big questions". Charles is age 54, a psychologist, originally from Texas, now resides in Oregon. We wandered off in many directions from the questions, as I was interested to see how a psychologist would view the uncomfortable questions. We also had our super-geek moments! What we got was a lot of laughter and fun.Attatched is a ghoulish Halloween picture of Charlie! Can you imagine meeting your psychologist dressed like that? And please email me at uncomfortable-questions@tcinternet.net. If this is all too serious, tune into Cayenne Chris Conroy's absurd comedy show at www.tekdiff.com . It will make you a better person. Really!

Today's delightful show is a Skype interview with DeAnne, age 41. She is a Musician, Social Worker, Transcriberix, and happens to be blind.She is a most lovely person to talk to, spiritual without being religious, funny, questioning of everything, and I totally adored her.My favorite parts are her view of Hope as "Spiritual Gravity", and her final words of advice kept me laughing for some time. I'm adding a photo of DeAnne that was just sent, a Halloween picture. Fun!As always, email me at: uncomfortable-questions@tcinternet.net.

I'm back on my feet for the new year, with Graviton Ring (as he is known on the web), age 67, science fiction and story writer, and armchair cosmologist.This one is way out there, I scraped most of the questions and just tried tofollow him where he was going, and he struggled with putting into words, concepts that just didn't fit well into words.What a great ride! Join us, and enjoy the show!To hear more from Graviton Ring - check out his own podcast at:http://feeds.feedburner.com/FreeThoughtMyRoughDraftOfRealityAs always, email me at: uncomfortable-questions@tcinternet.net.

Today's  interview is with Dan, age 36. Dan barely qualifies as an ordinary person. He is a record producer and the president of StandUp! Records.We talk about his life as one of the only Jewish families in a small town in Nebraska,and as the son of recent Jewish imigrants from Poland and Palastinian Israel.I loved Dan, and hope you do too!Check out the records Dan produces for famous stand-up comedians like Lewis Black, at his web page www.standuprecords.com.And please email me at uncomfortable-questions@tcinternet.net.

Today, Sheila from Canada takes on the Big Questions. She is 22 \years old, and is a Biology student interested in consciousness. She was a complete delight to talk to, and I didn't want to stop! I left the show a little long because I enjoyed her answers so much, I didn't want to cut very much of our conversation at all.Don't miss the 2nd half of the show where we discuss the chemistry of Love!As always, send me email at:uncomfortable-questions@tcinternet.net

Today we have a Skype interview with Andrew, age 36 who takes on the big questions of life. He is the father of 2 preschoolers, happily married, and a self described "featureless cubicle boy". Andrew is from England, and now living in the states. We talked for over 2 hours! I had to cut the show down to something manageable, and I think you will find him warm, funny, and wise. His views are that of a scientist who thinks the evidence for telepathy and things of that sort are rather compelling. It is a delightful and unique take we haven't heard yet on U.Q. I know you will enjoy this show!

This show is a Skype interview with Dana, age 29, the girl with pink hair from St. Johns, Newfoundland.

An impossible task!Join in the fun, and give it a listen.Write to me, just to chat, or volunteer to do a show yourself at:uncomfortable-questions@tcinternet.net

This is a special show - and Skype interview to Lynoure, Age 30, Linux Geek from Finland!! She and I overcame many technical problems for 2 hours, just to get the Skype connection that allowed us to do the interview. But she stayed with me, and the results are worthi it!Lynoure is a darling, and we talked not only about the big questions, but got a Finnish cultural perspective on many things, and we ended with a discussion on solipsism ( a theory holding that the self can know nothing but its own modifications and that the self is the only existent thing), and overcomming depression. To say nothing of superpowers! Enjoy!As usual, write to me at uncomfortable-question@tcinternet.net.
