Unknowable Knowns Podcast

Friends,   This is going to be our last podcast through our published libsyn channel. We still look forward to producing occasional shows, however - this will instead be going out to a youtube page. While it is possible that we may return to this space at some point in the future, as described in the podcast, we concluded that this move makes more sense for now.   Thank you for listening, following, and promoting us out to your friends. It has meant a lot to both of us.   If you wish, you can follow us on twitter @shawnmdoyle or @jerrymeitz - or through our Unknowable Knowns Podcast facebook page.   Sincerely, Jerry and Shawn

Our review episode for the week of September 19th. We examine race relations, the Middle east - focusing on Syria and Saudi Arabia. Regarding the protests, we look at the Crutcher killing in Tulsa and the Scott killing in Charlotte - as well as the general state of relations. What Colin Kaepernick's protest means, the reaction around it, and what to do about the problem. Following this, we examine ISIS' mustard gas attack on US troops in Iraq, as well as the state of the Syrian ceasefire and some developments in Saudi Arabia - coming clean on terrorism.   Follow us on facebook (the ukn), or on twitter @shawnmdoyle and @jerrymeitz. Stay subscribed for updates and news.   Featured in this episode - After the Syrian Aid Convoy, by Shawn Doyle - at the unknowableknowns.com   Music by Collider, find them at colliderdc.bandcamp.com

In this weekly update, we briefly examine nuclear developments in North Korea, the current state of the ceasefire in Syria and some of the conditions in Aleppo, and the potential damage caused by Hillary's comments calling many Trump supporters 'deplorable' - racists, sexists, homophobes, and the like.   Find us on facebook, (the ukn), or at unknowableknowns.com.

Immigration has long been a major source of debate, from Amnesty, to Dreamers, to Trump's calls for a deportation force and building walls. We break down the issue to look at the root cause of immigration controversy - cutting through spin to get to the policy at heart. Immigration has profound implications from the economy to national identity.   Find us on facebook (the ukn), or at unknowableknowns.com.

The Unknowable Knowns podcast is back from its summer break! Today we take on the economics behind government debt.   We've also decided to change things up since our last episode. Hoping to provide at least a little more value to you, our dear listener, we're dedicating each episode to unboxing and analyzing a big policy topic in detail.   In this episode, our 35th venture out into the wilds of the internet, we're taking a good long look at government debt (American federal debt). What does the government debt and the government deficit mean, and what should be done about it? Particularly - what should Washington do regarding debt and the current economic climate? From Adam Smith to  Secular Stagnation, we take the issue apart.   Find us on Facebook, twitter, or at our website - unknowableknowns.com   Music for this episode is sourced from a local DC band - Collider. Find them @colliderdc. They're cool.

Welcome to the 33rd episode of the Unknowable Knowns podcast, where Jerry and Shawn explore political, cultural and social issues (as well as Star Wars, kilts, religion, history, and the meaning of existence).   This episode was recorded before the events in Orlando, and as such, has a far lighter tone - talking about tribalism in a modern context. Within the outro, Shawn has included a conversation on the Orlando massacre: what it meant, and what it might mean going forward.   Thanks for downloading!
