Car Thoughts: On the critical nature of performances and face to face conversation

February 12, 2021 by Chris Munce Leave a Comment


I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know that I have added a new TYPE of short form content to the stream. “Car Thoughts” will be periodical and completely unscripted. As 2021 continues to reveal a stream of exciting guests and topics that will keep my production schedule very busy, this outlet will allow me to also keep commentary relevant and timely. With “Car Thoughts,” I can make episodes very quickly and on the go. So far, I have posted two. Enjoy!

The Performance is Critical Even Now

As performance opportunities dwindled over the last year, we have been quick to rationalize this as a good thing. Maybe because we needed to in order to cope with the loss? Either way, maybe it’s not that simple. Maybe the performances are critical.

You can listen from the widgets below which will take you to Apple or Castbox to finish listening, or you can find the show on Google Play, Spotify, Youtube or Stitcher!

Why Conversations Online End Badly

I saw a few posts from colleagues recently that seemed to lament our inability to have good discussions among people who disagree online. The first problem: we aren’t actually having discussions anymore…
The best conversations I’ve ever had with colleagues have been in the bar at conventions. Or on my show!

And don’t forget, the show is now on PATREON! Subscribe and receive Patron only content for as little as 3 bucks a month!

Not an Apple Person? I recommend Castbox or YouTube!
