When Gen Z says it's "Generational", they mean it is awesome or legendary. But, what is a generation? Who defines the time span? What should be included? Did you know that we only started defining them in 1991? Join us for a lively discussion on generations on this episode of The Works! https://www.thoughtco.com/names-of-generations-1435472
Does the way we watch television vary by the generation? Think back on the days of broadcast television, the TV Guide, and then how exciting cable tv was. We are dating ourselves by defining it as television instead of watching "content". Today we can watch on broadcast tv/cable/streaming. However, we are also entertained by YouTube/TikTok/podcasts. Join us for a discussion on our watching preferences and see if it falls along a generation divide on this "Boob Tube" episode on The Works.
With all of these incredible weather events, what do you do on a good old-fashioned snow day? Is there still such a thing when kids have "remote learning" days? What was your favorite thing to do on a snow day? Was what you ate or drank part of that experience? Join us on this cold day to discuss "Snow Day" on this episode of The Works.
Did y'all watch this year's Grammy Awards? Has the different ways we discover music change what we like or does it hinder us? How do you find your music? What did you think of the performances? And, let's talk about all those categories. Best song vs best record vs best album vs best performance.....clear as mud, right? Join us for "Grammy (or whammy)?" discussion on this episode of The Works.
Why is it that you have to have a catchy way to say things at work? Instead of saying you want to think about something some more, you say "put a pin in it". Let a topic "marinade". How frustrating! Join us for our "Corporate Speak" discussion on this episode of The Works.
What is the fascination with murder shows/documentaries/podcasts? Is it that we want to help solve? Are we trying to understand why someone could possibly commit these heinous crimes? How is technology playing a part? Join us for our discussion of "Killer Shows" on this episode of The Works.
Based on some feedback from friends, we trapse along some favorite central Ohio childhood memories of shenanigans. We didn't intend to be vandals. And, it is amazing what stories EVERY kid repeated. When you turned your bike upside down, pedaled the wheel, touched a spoke...you were making what? Ice cream! Duh! Join us for a discussion of "Central Ohio Memories" on this episode of The Works.
What makes what you believe into a "conspiracy"? Is it if you are in the minority? Is it when it is disproven information? Is the government controlling weather? Did people land on the moon? Join us for a discussion of "Conspiracy Theories" on this episode of The Works.
Who could have imagined that Cartman from South Park had the food pyramid correct! The revised food pyramid has been released and it is opposite to what it was. How is it decided? Do lobbyist influence the outcome? Join us for a discussion on "The Food Pyramid" on this episode of The Works.
What do you use social media for? Do you consider podcasts to be social media? People use social media for personal accounts and for businesses. Has social media helped or hurt our society? Join us for a discussion of "Social Media" on this episode of The Works.
