Two and a Mic - The Social Podcast

by Zak

Relationships, experiences, places and thoughts. I speak with individuals I have met along the way, talking about personal stories, impressions, life and dreams. Society is the sum of ups and downs, some we share, most we never hear of. Here some voices rise above the rest to tell their unique tales and I thank you all for allowing me to listen and record your stories. Find me on Twitter @TwoandaMic1

  • Do you find politics too frustrating? Are you fed up with inept politicians? You're not alone!

    Do you find politics too frustrating? Are you fed up with inept politicians? You're not alone!

    The calm breeze caresses the pond. Slow ripples, like silent waves skate along the surface. Then a kid chucks a stone ‘plonk’ right into the middle and the pond sends angry flows to every side. The child stands over the pond in awe at the chaos. The flows gently becalm and the pond returns to its peaceful serenity. We are that pond. We are resilient to a fault. We have this confidence that everything will go back to what it was regardless of what happens. Yet we are not talking about these superficial occurrences anymore. Political movements like ripples come and go. A childish president dropping a stone or two here and there. Yet we return to normal thereafter. So it’s all ok, right? We can ride it out can’t we? I don’t think we can anymore. I think the problem is more significant. I think we have realised that the pond is not a natural body of water, but a skilfully designed bath that masks the falsity of its creation. It is the manipulation we have all lived under, grown with and tried to escape occasionally succeeding only in sliding back down the sheer wet sides. Yet that’s not the worst of it. The sinister creators of this fake pool have a plug at the bottom and a filter over that. When they pull the plug, most of this pond is going to disappear and only the ones with the right connections will be saved by the filter. Do not be fooled any longer. This pool will either be drained, or it will dry out, and we’re going to be screwed either way… TwoandaMic clocking out. #RiseUp I welcome opinions of every kind so please come and find me on social media at: Instagram: TwoandaMic Twitter: TwoandaMic1 Should I really have to ask? 😉 If you like the developing story of this social journey unfurling in my series of podcasts, feel more than free, feel partially responsible for spreading the word by subscribing and sharing and where possible, liking.

  • President Troll, Secretary Ruin and the Cuban Trafficking that never was...the art of lying

    President Troll, Secretary Ruin and the Cuban Trafficking that never was...the art of lying

    This is a podcast about a gang of inadequate men with power who have managed to concoct a story of pure fabrication, just to make themselves and their friends richer. President Troll, Secretary Ruin and Mr Husk. Take a bow…while people they have worked with are arrested for child abuse, they’re going after organisations who’ve made it their 60 year mission to look after people from around the world. I can call them Inadequate Bastards… TwoandaMic clocking out! #RiseUp I welcome opinions of every kind so please come and find me on social media at: Instagram: TwoandaMic Twitter: TwoandaMic1 Should I really have to ask? 😉 If you like the developing story of this social journey unfurling in my series of podcasts, feel more than free, feel partially responsible for spreading the word by subscribing and sharing and where possible, liking.

    On International Women’s Day I have the honour of releasing an episode with an amazing person whose dedication to her work, community, and roots is inspiring beyond imagination. Dr Boshart is unique and when you hear the work she does, why she does that work, and the way in which she does it, I have no doubt that she will amaze you too. I am eternally grateful Dr Boshart for your time and look forward to our next chat.

  • Book Club – A Fatal Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum by Emma Southon

    Book Club – A Fatal Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum by Emma Southon

    This must read, actually the only thing that needs to be read if you want to learn about ancient Rome, is as fascinating as the title is long. It is a masterpiece in historical analysis because it entertains as much as it informs and it entertains A LOT! Shout out to the narrator Sophie Ward as well who has done an amazing job. Thank you Greg for your time. It’s always a giggle.

  • How the #AfD would use #taxes to #beat the poor - Pre-election 2025 Miniseries Final Part

    How the #AfD would use #taxes to #beat the poor - Pre-election 2025 Miniseries Final Part

    This is the last in the miniseries concerning the #AfD and their policies in advance of the #elections in #Germany in #2025. This episode focuses on the AfD’s tax policies and identifies just how the AfD intends to further punish the poor by giving #tax breaks to the rich. By reducing tax burdens on those who can afford it, the AfD would be forced to greatly reduce social security spending. The rich would get to keep the money they have exploited the poor to get, and the poor would be further impoverished and desperate. The tax policies of the AfD stand for inequality, impoverishment and exploitation. Vote with an open mind and a generous heart.
