cswdcd01 Martian Perspectives
cswdcd02 Of Courts, Cooks and Apples
cswdcd03 The Way You Play The Game Redux
cswdcd03 The Way You Play The Game Redux (It's not easy to get under Dan's normally flexible, see-things-from-multiple-angles skin, but Donald Trump's stated willingness to cross traditional American moral fault lines has done just that.)
cswdcd04 Speed Dating for Delegates (As the U.S. Presidential campaign veers into unprecedented territory Dan sees opportunity in the unusual circumstances. "Anger is an Energy" he says. And he says it AGAIN and AGAIN.)
cswdcd05 A Catalyst for the Inconceivable
cswdcd05 A Catalyst for the Inconceivable (Dan finds the idea of a Donald Trump presidency to be inconceivable. He also thinks a fundamental change in U.S. Foreign Policy is also inconceivable. Could one inconceivable outcome lead to another?)
cswdcd06 Disengaging the Lizard Brain (Hate is a very strong word, but increasing numbers of Americans hate their countrymen. Is this a danger to the stability of the country? If it were deemed such, what can be done about it?)
cswdcd08 Return of the Podcaster (After a brief hiatus to finish his other podcast, Dan has a huge backlog of material to cover. The presidential race, foreign affairs and racial and cultural questions take center stage.)
cswdcd09 A Bodyguard of Lies (Secrecy, hacking, information leaks, whistle-blowers, foreign-operative propaganda pushers, disinformation, election tampering and the search for any truth in cyberspace occupy Dan's thoughts in this show.)
cswdcd10 Or Else (What happens if our nation's problems become too large to realistically imagine our politicians solving? What if voting doesn't help? Dan reminds us that he's not a moderate, and that you probably aren't either.)
cswdcd11 Trumped (Post-2016 election analysis and discussion from a Martian political perspective.)
cswdcd12 Re-Connections with James Burke (Dan has another visit with the always fascinating science historian and TV host James Burke. He also catches up a bit on early Trump cabinet picks and the Dakota pipeline protests.)
cswdcd13 Get Me A Glass of Water (Dan is in an introspective mental place in this show...but he may just drag you in there with him.)
cswdcd14 Unhealthy Numbers
cswdcd14 Unhealthy Numbers (As the GOP attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act, Dan ponders the dichotomy between what Americans spend on health care versus what they get in return.)
cswdcd15 War on a Whim? (There's a lot in this show subject-wise, but it's really supposed to be about War Powers in the USA and how events in Syria and North Korea play into the issue.)
cswdcd16 The Day of the Dove (Politically-related violence in the U.S. heats up as talk of "Civil War" goes mainstream. What would a "Civil War" in the U.S. even look like? Dan has some thoughts on this and ways to potentially avoid such a fate.)
cswdcd17 Shades of Grey (Dan is finding is hard to operate in a Black and White, Good and Evil cultural environment where everyone is outraged all the time about everything and where Americans hate each other. Where's the Common Sense?)
cswdcd18 For Whom the Bell Trolls (You never know when you might get a little common sense unexpectedly out of nowhere.This is one of those times.)
cswdcd19 A Recipe for Caesar
cswdcd20 Steering Into the Iceberg
cswdcd21 Garbage in Garbage out
cswdcd23 Gas Up the Cold War
