We're Traveling Through Time!

Janice and I are fascinated by history, she loves reading biographies and I love going to museums. Both serve the same purpose; to increase our knowledge of the past, learn our commonalities with other cultures, try to figure out our place in the world and find a way to not keep watching “Odd Couple” reruns all the time. But let’s be honest, that show is a treasure and the jokes never get old.

Your Agenda hosts happily present their stultifying lack of knowledge as they scrape the bottom of the evolutionary barrel, choosing their favorite historical moments to quantum leap into.

So, in the words of the Firesign Theater, “Forward, into the past!”

From the American Revolution and the black plague to the stock market crash of 1929, we are one couple that has our eyes on what’s important. Janice gives us her insights and love of generational fashion and I want to see Lenny Bruce at Carnegie Hall!

I also throw the “butterfly effect”* out the window and come up with the ultimate time travelling device… Presenting the “Protective Bubble!”

While we jabber a lot about different eras, events and heroes we’d like to meet there is an underlying sweetness to this episode I really love, because while the topic is time travel the theme is hope. Looking back on moments when we excelled as a species and looking forward toward better things.

So please put on your protective bubbles and join us as we travel through time on this episode of THE AGENDA! -GH

*”The Butterfly Effect” is the phenomenon whereby a minute localized change in a complex system can have large effects elsewhere. Like if you go back in time and swat a butterfly, it would change all the effects that had initially happened. BTW, lay off butterflies!
