Donovan expresses his frustration with “recreational outrage culture”, specifically in regards to the latest news concerning Liam Neeson (https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/liam-neeson-rape-black-man-attack-cosh-cold-pursuit-sexual-assault-interview-a8760866.html) and even Mary Poppins!  This is a short one, but he rounds it out with low ratings for Super Bowl 53 and the cost of commercials airing during one of the most watched events in the United States.

Donovan is joined by his wife, Lea, and his sometimes podcasting co-hosts, Sam Lewis and Shae Jones to discuss the year that was 2018.  Everyone shared their highlights of the year.

Lea said she turned 48 and had the experience of working at the Georgia Museum of Agriculture and Historic Village (Agrirama) in Tifton, GA.  Her highlights included stories of children visiting the Historic Village and their shock of seeing how people lived so many years ago.

Sam shared how Dungeons and Dragons had been such a highlight for him in 2018 and how he has really gotten into World of Warcraft.  He also mentioned how the new series of Doctor Who featuring the very first female Doctor was special to him.  His biggest moment of 2018, he finally confessed, was probably his Dragoncon experience.

Shae made a major life change by relocating to a new city and a new job along with a new outlook on life.

Donovan talked about 2018 being his year of sobriety and the fact that Tyler, Lea and Donovan’s youngest son, got a new job (instead of working with his Dad) in his chosen field, something Donovan had hoped for.

The show rounded out with everyone discussing what they’re looking forward to in 2019.

Be aware that the conversations derailed from time to time to discuss Doctor Who, politics, religion, technology and much more.  You just can’t keep this group on topic!
