Bringing this Blog Up-to-Date

Alright, so we’re publishing on TinCan.media, again, and I’ve gotten behind on posting our podcasts here, so I’m going to do one post (this one) to bring this site up-to-date.

August 7, 2018:



September 23, 2018 (Hurricane Florence postmortem)



We’re still processing August 14, 21, and 28 and September 4. We did not record on September 11 or the 18th because of Hurricane Florence.

Podcast: Guns, Guns, Guns

Recorded on July 24, 2018. This podcast got off to a rocky start. Doug questions whether you should have a round in the chamber at all times, and who does drive by bicycle shootings? Of course there is more, but I don’t want to give it away.

Podcast: Books are Bad, m’kay

This podcast was recorded on July 17, 2018. In 100 years historians will be listening to this podcast to help them understand what life was like in the early 21st century.

In this podcast, we determine that reading books may be bad; especially if you plan to see the movie. Doug talks about the Martian Chronicles by Edgar Rice Burroughs and contrasts the books with the John Carter movie based on the books. We talk about unsustainable growth and Mr. Faulkner’s Old Fashioned hot dog stand. We manage to go off on tangents … surprise! Draconian, allegorical, and other big words get bandied about.

Margaret Atwood (the author’s name Doug can’t remember)

Virtually Homeless

We’re primarily publishing on TinCan.media, now that they are done with their self-inflicted blackout. The goal is to publish here, in parallel, but we don’t always meet our goals.

Since we are living in a world where the cost of housing keeps going up and we have a very limited budget here at the Life Is Hard production facility, there is no telling when we might get evicted from any of our satellite hosts. For that reason, you should bookmark this site and check here whenever you need to find us. This is our headquarters … our home base … the place we crash after a hard night, so you’ll always find us here, even if you do find us draped over a sofa or chugging Excedrin to quiet a roaring hangover.

We knew life was hard before we started this podcast (hence the name), so don’t worry about us. We’ll find a way to patch up the window that someone threw a rock through, and we’ll keep selling aluminum cans we pick up on the roadside to bail Doug out of jail, so we can bring you our unique insights into current events, science, and the military industrial complex, with an occasional public service announcement to show that we care.

The Tin Can Era

The Life is Hard Podcast has moved! You can find our older stuff here, but for the latest, newest, hippest, greatest, unbelievably awesome new stuff, check out our new home at Tin Can Media!!

Thanks for your continued support. We love you although we have no idea who you are!

P.S. You can change that by interacting with us. Leave a comment, sometime.
