Listen "Crichton"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Dave dives into the challenges of juggling his podcast, schoolwork, and his frustrations with modern education. From writing a paper on his television viewing habits to reflecting on how Michael Crichton's college experience mirrored his own, Dave shares his thoughts on the disconnect between passion and academia. He also discusses how Crichton's shift from English to Biological Sciences led to his legendary writing career, while Dave himself grapples with staying the course in his history studies.
Along the way, there’s some football talk, the art of talk radio vs. television, and reflections on the bizarre nature of mass communication classes. As always, Dave blends his personal experiences with a healthy dose of humor and historical insight.
