Podcast Overview

New Format, New Name, Same Hosts!! The median is the number in the exact middle of the numerical list when it is arranged in order. Like many of you out there, we here at "Hello from Below the Median" are working (sometimes multiple jobs) earning below the median income for our locality. In our old format, we found it difficult to discuss political topics without taking sides. In the new format, we're bringing you a weekly discussion of topics that interest us as "average Joe's" with educations. Join us to hear a perspective of the news from those of us who earn below the median.

Episode 14 - Re-Visiting Mail In Voting/Video Game Representation/The Cost of College was Ridiculous before Covid-19

<p>This week, we start by revisiting mail-in voting as an issue, checking out if there is any new information since we covered the topic back in May. We do this using articles from the South Florida Sun Sentinel (via the New York Times - <a href="https://www.sun-sentinel.com/coronavirus/ct-nw-nyt-coronavirus-voting-by-mail-20200525-ewdetupwrrda7pyz5kegfzjf3e-story.html">https://www.sun-sentinel.com/coronavirus/ct-nw-nyt-coronavirus-voting-by-mail-20200525-ewdetupwrrda7pyz5kegfzjf3e-story.html</a>) and a USAToday report about the biggest critic of the practice, the President, and his use of mail-in voting (<a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/08/13/trump-requests-mail-ballot-florida-primary-despite-rhetoric/3371605001/">https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/08/13/trump-requests-mail-ballot-florida-primary-despite-rhetoric/3371605001/</a>). Then, we discuss the subject of representation in video games. Though our population is very diverse, does that diversity translate to the creators of our games or the products that they create for us to buy? We discuss a CNBC article on the subject (<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/08/14/video-game-industry-grapples-with-murky-track-record-on-diversity.html">https://www.cnbc.com/2020/08/14/video-game-industry-grapples-with-murky-track-record-on-diversity.html</a>) as well as some supplemental statistics (<a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/189582/age-of-us-video-game-players-since-2010/">https://www.statista.com/statistics/189582/age-of-us-video-game-players-since-2010/</a>)(<a href="https://www.statista.com/topics/1680/gaming/">https://www.statista.com/topics/1680/gaming/</a>) related to gaming demographics. In our last segment, we talk about the rising cost of college as it relates to the Covid-19 pandemic (<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/15/us/covid-college-tuition.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/15/us/covid-college-tuition.html</a>) and why we believe parent's outrage at the cost should have happened well before collegiate use of virtual instruction was an issue (<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2015/06/16/why-college-costs-are-so-high-and-rising.html">https://www.cnbc.com/2015/06/16/why-college-costs-are-so-high-and-rising.html</a>).</p> <p>Hello from Below the Median is a listener supported podcast - we appreciate all of your likes, shares, reviews, and listens.

Episode 13 - Leaving Social Media Behind/Environmental Disaster in Canada

<p>As Mini is missing celebrating another turn around the sun, Jake and Flavius discuss leaving social media behind and some terrible news regarding climate change from the land of our neighbors to the north (Canada). Using the article found at <<a href="https://www.thehealthy.com/mental-health/quit-social-media/">https://www.thehealthy.com/mental-health/quit-social-media/</a>>, Jake compares his own experience with ignoring social media to the benefits identified by the author as Flavius provides a fresh perspective on the issue. The guys then pivot to talk about the ice shelf that collapsed in Canada that occurred earlier this month <<a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/08/weather/canada-ice-shelf-collapse-milne-manhattan/index.html">https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/08/weather/canada-ice-shelf-collapse-milne-manhattan/index.html</a>>.</p> <p>Hello from Below the Median is a listener supported podcast - we appreciate all of your likes, shares, reviews, and listens.

Episode 12 - XFL Buyout/New Tech and AI/Just White Enough

<p>For our second episode in the new and somewhat less political format, the guys discuss a wide range of topics. We begin with a discussion of the Rock's buyout of his former boss's football league, then move into discussing tech breakthroughs that might be important (and hopefully more cost effective) following the conclusion of the current Covid-19 pandemic, then Jake and Mini discuss his experience as someone who comes from an immigrant family yet is probably the first generation in that family to be "just white enough" to be included in the casual racism that can be prevalent in certain parts of the country in which the three of us live.</p> <p>Untying the Knot is a listener supported podcast - we appreciate all of your likes, shares, reviews, and listens.
