An eclectic collection of interviews and odd news designed to entertain
Feb. 25, 2013, 8:24 a.m.
Prescient or polarizing? Insightful or inane? Brilliant or bonkers? David Icke remains one of the most talked about figures in the world of independent news and alternative thinking. Despite being consistently ridiculed by the mainstream press, Icke has remained steadfast on his mission to expose the 'make believe reality' we live in, authoring 19 books and speaking to large audiences all around the globe. In this edition of the Smells Like Human Spirit Podcast, we critically examine Icke's key ideas and philosophies, and discuss whether it is good practice to discard someone's entire world view simply because they possess beliefs that may not be considered 'normal'. Enjoy!

Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt joins us on the Smells Like Human Spirit Podcast with an incredible and wide-ranging 65 minute interview.

In our talk, we discussed, among other things:
The deliberate intent of those in government to use the classroom as a springboard to promote collectivism over individualism;
The shifting focus in Education from that of true learning to workforce training;
How operant conditioning is used to establish a stimulus-response culture in schools;
Why the self-proclaimed 'elites' view human beings as resources to serve economies;
The internationalist approach to Education and its link to proposed world government.
The Man Who Secretly Recorded His Life
Feb. 25, 2013, 8:15 a.m.
Life is fleeting. Is this something to be embraced, or something to be fought against? In the social media age where you can seemingly record every moment in your life - would you if you could?
On this podcast, David Weinberg, a radio producer from Los Angeles, joins us to share his experiences in relation to this topic. David was recently featured on BBC Radio 4's 'Short Cuts' programme, sharing his tale of how an innocuous attempt to improve his interview efficacy snowballed into an obsession which lead to him secretly recording his conversations for three years. An interesting podcast as ever so check it out!

Feb. 24, 2013, 3:23 p.m.
For Episode 13 of the Smells Like Human Spirit Podcast, we are lucky enough to be joined by an internationally known award winning-author and lecturer - Michael Parenti. Michael received his Ph.D. in political science from Yale University, and has taught at a number of colleges and universities all over the world. He is as powerful and engaging in public speaking as he is on the page, and his work covers a wide range of subjects, including U.S. politics, culture, ideology, ancient and modern history, imperialism, the news and entertainment media, and war. In his highly influential magnum opus Democracy For The Few, now in its ninth edition, Parenti presents a stunning critical analysis of American society, economy, and political institutions.
In this particular interview, he elucidates on the overarching ideological production that impacts on corporate-owned news media. Areas of discussion include how the mass media favours elite interests, divides the working class against each other, and prevents the public at large from achieving independent thinking about world events.
