James Schaefferredcircle.com

A podcast about an old fella using new tech. I talk about tech news and the tech I’m using in my old fart life. I also talk about entertainment and podcasting news. I’ve decided to stay away from politics but sometimes I can’t help myself. Consider yourself fore-warned. I’m retired military and a retired FED. I guess now I’m just tired. Now, if you're finished reading this, get off my lawn!

End Of The Decade Show

I share what Santa brought me for Christmas. There is a quick rundown of tech news and I've finally found a show I can watch on the Apple TV+ streaming service. The National Lampoon Radio Hour The Podcast is still, in my opinion, horrible. The show ends with a rant about communism. Happy New Year!

Holiday Nothingness

Being it's the holiday season, there is virtually no tech news to speak of. Instead, I float my #metoo solution (-; I talk about a dramatic Pub entrance (and exit) from years ago which took place in the village of Little Compton which is located in the UK. You might notice a volume increase toward the middle of the episode. Because of the noise outside my home, I had to 'eat the mic' for the second half.
