Mind and the Motorcycle

203 episodes - English - Latest episode: 2 days ago -

My voice is in the key of Zen Gonzo. It is where the idea of extraordinarily perfect Zen recklessly collides with totally undisciplined Gonzo journalism. It is an in the moment kind of self-expression, easily interrupted by most anything at all. Hunter S. Thompson coined and embodied this Gonzo style of writing. Actually, when you think about it, that is how our minds work anyway. We live in a constant state of change and everything is disrupted on a moment-to-moment basis. At this point, my quickly put together plan is to talk to you whenever I feel like and share some stories. While they will all be true, or as true as my ever changing perspective will allow, they will always be as sincere and honest as I can possibly be at that precise moment when it falls out of my mind through my fingers and on to the imaginary page of your mind.

MIND AND THE MOTORCYCLE Naked News Year 2 Volume 83 May 19, 2022

May 20, 2022 05:00 - 26 minutes - 18.3 MB

I have been busting to get this edition of Naked News up and running. I was away on family stuff and unable to clear my head in order to record the news, which I kept assembling while I was away. Yeah, I know creatively, we're supposed to feel good about whatever it is we do, but that's not why I do this. I just want you to know what's going, some of which you will simply not hear anywhere else. Appreciate you!

MIND AND THE MOTORCYCLE NAKED NEWS YEAR 2 VOLUME 82 MAY 10,2022

May 11, 2022 05:00 - 22 minutes - 15.2 MB

I AM GETTING A LITTLE TIRED OF TRYING TO BE CREATIVE AND NON-REPETITIVE REGARDING WHY THIS NAKED NEWS IS WORTH YOUR TIME. IF YOU ARE EVEN TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS MALARKEY, JUST LISTEN TO THE DAMN PODCAST.

Mind and the Motorcycle Naked News Year 2 Volume 81 May 2, 2022

May 03, 2022 05:00 - 32 minutes - 22.5 MB

Imagine that for some stupid reason, you decided to cut and paste a week's worth of news stories you gave a shit about and then recorded them in an incredibly unprofessional manner. You would then have your very own Naked News. So, I am doing this for you!

MIND AND THE MOTORCYCLE NAKED NEWS YEAR 2 VOLUME 80 APRIL 26, 2022

April 27, 2022 03:00 - 24 minutes - 17.1 MB

MORE NEWS AND COMMENTARY AND SIDEBARS FOR YOU. YOU AIN'T HEARING THIS ANYWHERE ELSE AND YOU REALLY NEED TO GET CAUGHT UP WITH THIS ORAL ROADMAP OF THE WORLD WE LIVE IN. THANK YOU SO MUCH TAKING THE TIME.

Mind and the Motorcycle Naked News Year 2 Volume 79 April 19, 2022

April 20, 2022 05:00 - 31 minutes - 21.5 MB

Got another 30 minutes of news, opinions and occasional rambling. Did you ever feel there was something you just had to do and keep doing, not being totally sure why? Well, that's how I feel about Naked News. Listen, I know I'm no podcast legend, with thousands of loyal listeners, I am just one guy, who gives a shit about what's going on and thinks you should, too.

MIND AND THE MOTORCYCLE NAKED NEWS YEAR 2 VOLUME 78

April 13, 2022 04:00 - 27 minutes - 19.2 MB

As always, cover a lot of ground. This is all stuff you ought to know. some of which I am sure you already do. I keep apologizing for my unprofessional presentation, which I need to stop doing. You can wade through my flubs and mispronunciations, because the flawed truth is right in front of you. Tell your friends. Thanks.

Mind and the Motorcycle Naked News Year 2 Volume 77

April 06, 2022 04:00 - 30 minutes - 20.8 MB

Doing my freewheelin' news podcast and I hope you like it. Most of the news is not really very encouraging and I don't shy away from it. At least, I freely express outrage and shock and what is going on all around us. Please listen and tell your friends.

MIND AND THE MOTORCYCLE NAKED NEWS YEAR 2 VOL76

March 30, 2022 05:00 - 29 minutes - 20.1 MB

I'm kind of shooting in the dark here. I just recorded this podcast and have not listened to it played back. I kid you not. I will listen to it as soon as I upload these comments. I kind of liked my "I don't give a shit" attitude going in. It is actually fairly tough to do this and to say I'm an amateur is the height of understatement. Guess what? I don't really give a shit. I just want to do this for you, no kidding. Give it a listen, your life will never be the same!

MIND AND THE MOTORCYCLE NAKED NEWS YEAR 2 VOL. 75

March 23, 2022 02:00 - 27 minutes - 18.7 MB

Find some time to listen to Naked News. There is so much we ought to know about that will effect our future. Whether we can do a damn thing about most of this stuff, is not my reason for this weekly exercise. Every time, throughout the week, when I see something that I think you ought to know about, I cut and paste to my collection. Don't ask me why I do this, because I don't know. It just feels like something I have to do.

Mind and the Motorcycle Naked News Year 2 Vol 74

March 16, 2022 05:00 - 35 minutes - 24.1 MB

I know there aren't that many of you that listen to Naked News. If you are one of the rare few, please let your friends know. I am looking for nothing in return. I am certain that what I have to share is hard to find in the deluge of crap we are all subject to. Thank you

Mind and the Motorcycle Naked News Year 2 Vol.73

March 09, 2022 05:00 - 31 minutes - 21.7 MB

Busting to share the news with you. I know there are techniques you use to get audience and I'm sure I'm doing it all wrong. I care about the news I share with you and like many of you, I am concerned about our future. There's a lot of stuff going on and I just try and grab some stuff I think you ought to know about. It sounds terribly immodest, but do find a half hour to listen. Thank you

Mind and The Motorcycle Naked News Year 2 Vol 72

March 03, 2022 05:00 - 31 minutes - 22 MB

You know, I wish I had thousands of listeners, but not for reason that might seem more obvious to you. I just don't think there are many people talking about the news the way I do, let alone selecting the stories I choose to share. I can't believe I take Naked News so seriously, but I do. Please listen and share with your friends, there is nothing in it for me.

Mind and the Motorcycle Naked News Year 2 Vol. 71

February 24, 2022 05:00 - 27 minutes - 18.9 MB

I really enjoyed doing this second edition of Naked News. It just feels like me, talking to you and trying to share some news with you that you probably ought to know. Man, if I don't tell you, who the hell else is going to take the time?

Mind And the Motorcycle Naked News Plus Year 2 Volume 1

February 17, 2022 04:00 - 30 minutes - 20.6 MB

Here the news like you've never heard it before. Naked News is my take on the news of the week, delivered the way I would want to talk to you about. It's raw and makes, devoid of all pretense.

February 09, 2022 16:00 - 31 minutes - 21.5 MB

I am trying to make more room for opinion. I still believe in the sanctity of facts, but defer to the power of emotion. I feel more inclined to share how I feel, at least about the facts. I sometimes wish there were more listeners, but I would like to think I’d still be doing what I do, how I feel about what’s going on, and speaking to our better selves. It’s all we got. Thank you

February 02, 2022 16:00 - 34 minutes - 23.5 MB

I haven’t even listened to #68 yet, but I enjoyed recording it, even more than usual. It felt good to be giving voice to so much of what is not spoken about. I know it ain’t much, but it’s my way. Reading Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot at the end was the highlight for me. Thanks for listening.

January 25, 2022 15:00 - 32 minutes - 22.4 MB

I do this news podcast, because I feel I have to, not because I think I am any good at it. With that in mind, in my Yemen story, I couldn’t remember the Shia as being in conflict with the Sunni, both Muslims, go figure! Plenty of good stuff in this one.

A slight Omicron related delay in sharing your news. Fortunately for us, the shit show has held its breath and can finally exhale with one incredible story after another for you to listen to. You got 30 minutes? You got the world. It might not be what you want to hear, but that’s not how the world works. Is it?

real news plus #65

January 07, 2022 16:00 - 27 minutes - 18.6 MB

This is my first Real News Plus of 2022 and it is my 65th one in total, which ain’t too shabby. Recorded on January 6th, while one year ago, storming the Capitol was THE Real News Plus. 2022 will not be more of the same, it will be an intensified more of everything and staying centered will be the challenge. Give a listen.

real news plus #64

December 30, 2021 17:00 - 32 minutes - 22.2 MB

Last podcast of the year and it kind of ends where it began, in terms of Covid, the Global Climate Emergency, Theft of Voting Rights. International Obscenities, and last, but not least, The Rich beating the crap out of all of us, no matter your political affiliation. Here’s to 2022 and Bye to 2021.

December 13, 2021 16:00 - 30 minutes - 20.8 MB

I can’t imagine anyone listening to Real News Plus and not hearing at least one piece of news they weren’t aware of. I enjoy sharing the news and hope you can hear it in my voice. Thank you

December 06, 2021 16:00 - 29 minutes - 20.1 MB

If you care about what is going on in the world, you are guaranteed to hear things you’ve not heard before. China is running out of water. The Covid vaccine is still being bogarted by a few wealthy multi-national corporations and people are needlessly dying as a result. Why? “You will never hear the news the same ever again."

Only because it matters to me, I had a live on-the -air, brain fart and forgot the name of the Native American Chief I was quoting at the end of the podcast. He is Chief Joseph (1840-1904), a Nez Perce Indian and a man forced into a terrible, terrible place on behalf of his people.

I feel compelled to look at our looming climate disaster every week and shine a light on our mistreatment of each other and the planet. This one feels like a break through for me, because I want to get in your face and I want you to listen.
