Anderson StreetTribalism | Season 2What is a tribe? Do you tend toward following the new, connoted definition of hard delineations between peoples/groups/etc or toward the primitive definition of shared understandings/culture/language/etc? Tribes can be as small (yet large) as being part of the left-handed crew to the Mandarin speaking tribe to your sex or your hair color or or or or anything! Yet, we seem to be in this time where, particularly politically, tribalism is something that has become weaponized in the USA. IF you voted one way, then this must mean _____ about you; this is where separation, hatred...2019-09-161h 05Anderson StreetMen and the Men in Their Lives | Season 2Vibrationally, I already felt some eye rolls at the mention of men in this very touchy #meToo societal point. I implore you to bookmark that for another time and allow the distant memory that men in our particular society, specifically of color, often don’t have the same mentorship & guidance from older, established men in their groups. The reasonings for this discrepancy are wide & varied, we all know them, so let’s bypass the WHY to instead move on to what can be done (my POV on essentially every societal ill) The mental strategy for this table was to compil...2019-09-091h 31Anderson StreetEducation | Public, Private, Charter | Season 2What's in an education? There are so many facets to how an education is doled out & received. Resources are most often the name of the game & with better socioeconomic locations equating to better resources (incl. teacher salary), what can be done about improving this imbalanced system? We discuss school choice, home schooling, systemic oppression, cities v rural, and for a spot of pure joy; we note some of our favorite, most impactful teachers.

What's more boring than a few centuries old set of documents? Turns out, V was misguided, as you'll see.
Welcome to an honest conversation with everyday people about the document that's dictate that guiderails of life in the USA since 1791 (ratification of Bill of Rights). How many freedoms are in the 1st Amendment? Which of them should be amended further and which can kick rocks? Who were they made for and how have definitions/connotations changed over time?

What the true hell has dating become? Whether identifying as cis or non binary, hetero or LGBTQ - it's all seem to run amok.
With articles like this one from The Atlantic explaining (with stats) how and why coitus in the millennial generation has gone to generational low to our host's (Viki) own dating faux pas stories h...2019-08-261h 14Anderson StreetNCAA | Is it a Racket? | Season 2This NCAA debacle has worsened since we filmed this episode, where we tried to focus on the question of if college athletes should be paid, it's now a question of whether the entirety of the NCAA is a racketeering scheme. Between wealthy familial bribes to agents & coaches giving very sus loans to athletes, it all looks a lot like Ballers. Yea, the show that everyone loves to judge as outrageous and fabricated. SIKE.

Aside from legalization of marijuana sweeping the USA, we've been ensconced in the arguable aftermath of the Drug Wars (Reagan) and drug abuse epidemics have been running rampant (crack, opioids). We sat down with people that don't have a hard line delineating them from one another, but the stories raised at the table aren't what you expect. It's the stories, that have the power to dismantle hard and fast belief systems.

We have one of the more HOT conversations at the table, in a dual part episode, where we get into:: control, power, mental health, being black in America, equity, agenda pushing, youth, culture & media, and the list goes on. The table is as divided as it gets with a bunch of unicorns, yet common ground is found.

Perks & Perils of Digital NomaddingWe decided to try something new with an event in Manhattan at The Assemblage coworking/coliving space. We doubly tested out the idea of having someone volunteer as tribute to sit at the table with us! As life does when you believe it to, it all worked out better than expected. Luckily for you, we recorded the conversation ;)
Join myself, Meggie, Nadia (kudos to our volunteer!) & Colton as we navigate the experiences and life as we saw it while living as digital nomads around this beautiful planet. We delve into mental health, coping, stigmatization, and of course...2019-05-1550 minAnderson StreetMillennials & Saving? HuhAnother episode that you'll only find right here! How very exciting
We gathered some humans that are all about that organized, long term accumulation of wealth along with the likes of (me) whom is migrating toward a more, money is made to be spent and what if I don't make it to retirement? mindset. What's the best way to go as a millennial, where we simply won't be living similar lives to the likes of #babyboomers? Do we save, and how much and for what? As more people delve into #lifestyleDesign or #remoteWork (check our previous episode), retirement and pensions...2019-05-1033 minAnderson StreetWho is God?Surprise! This episode will not be found anywhere but right here (not Patreon, sorry about that faux pas).
We've got near death experiences, growing up religious and having a faith transition, and my Mom's random historical Catholic factoids. In your experience, who or what is God? Singular? Plural? Omniscient?

This episode was one of the first we filmed and in the event of an original guest backing out at the final minute, we were able to snag a long time friend of (Viki's) Mom whom was holding a story that none of us expected. Topics of this caliber aren't easy to have, but are not only relevant but necessary to discuss in length.

This was the first episode we filmed and it is a doozy! What is American to you? Can hyphenating further divide a country (IE. Asian-American, Irish-American)? Is philanthropy a staple of what the USA is known for?

As usual, let us know in the comments what your thoughts are on if free speech is relative? Can social movements like, MeToo, truly make the difference that their participants desire? Does marketing/advertising feed us the speech that we BELIEVE we want to be so free about?

This is all about digital nomadding, this new trendy lifestyle that has attracted more than a few of us at the table. We shout @remoteyear out a lot because that's where most of our experience stems, but we are not sponsored!
Let us know in the commentary, should work be solely a toil or could it possibly be pleasurable? What were/are some of your preconceived notions about remote working? Is remote work a good ol American compromise for our lack of suff...2019-04-2356 minAnderson StreetSex Stigmas & TaboosNSFW!

From identity (sexual, gender, racial, et al) to the white patriarchy and when/who can say ni**ga, we get into it.
