What’s the Unpopped Colonels Podcast all about?
To tell you the truth – we weren’t real sure what direction this podcast would take off. We often talked, not just the “hey, how ya doin’ variety, but rather things in everyday life that guys just simply keep to themselves or just never venture into thought. At some point in time, one of us said “podcast” and the other said “that’s a good idea” and here we are.
We knew what we did not want to talk about on a podcast episode (politics and religion), but we had no idea what we did want to talk about. So, we started brainstorming, coming up with over 100 topics we were not only interested, but also at least minimally familiar. From there, we started grouping topics into similar categories, ultimately coming up with five general categories of content.
We hope you enjoy our discussions – we certainly have a great time curttng them. Please give us some feedback either on your podcast hosting service or send us an e-mail.
The Five Unpopped Colonels Podcast Discussion Categories
- America – What Does it Mean Today? We take a brief look at a historic, American principle or event, then compare it to modern times.
- Conspiracy Theories. Why not?..question everything. We’ll take a look at a conspiracy theory, discuss its origins, and determine if the theory is plausible – not true or false – just plausible. Then you decide.
- The Generational Bridge. We’ll ask the exact same three questions to two or more folks, independently, and from different generations, then mash-up the answers into a single episode. Questions vary…
- Leadership-Followership. Well, what did you expect when there are two retired US Army Colonels controlling the microphone? But notice – there is no effective leadership unless there is effective followership; nor is there effective followership without effective leadership. Its 50/50 boys and girls.
- Military Science. There’s more to the military that just shooting or blowing things up. You’ll here about it from two retired senior officers. It sure is a lot better than reading a book written by an author who never stepped on a battlefield.
