About this listen

 Friends in Wonder is a podcast co-hosted by Vince Kern and Joe Luther, two lifelong friends who were born at the tail end of the classic "baby boomer generation.” Since they were curious grade-schoolers walking their dogs late at night, their conversations always delved into a vast array of topics through the lens of wonder and awe. They have maintained this journey throughout their varied professional careers during the technical revolution and friendship spanning over five decades. Listen as they explore a wide range of topics through their soulfully connected adventures in self-growth by asking the question; “How does this help?”© 2024 Friends In Wonder Social Sciences

    Do you ever wonder how media and corporate interests shape our political landscape? Join us on this special edition of the Friends in Wonder podcast as Vince Kern and Joe Luther reconnect to delve into Joe's passionate involvement in the Kennedy campaign in Michigan. Joe, an attorney with a rich background in political science, shares his motivations and experiences as a volunteer coordinator, underscoring his belief in the candidate’s integrity and dedication to transparent political discourse. We'll uncover the grassroots efforts that shaped his year-long journey and discuss the challenges and triumphs he faced along the way.

    Explore the pervasive influence of media corporations on public discourse and political division. Our discussion examines how profit-driven media companies manipulate public perception and foster conflict, making it difficult for people to see the larger forces at play. Joe provides a unique perspective on generational differences in media consumption, noting the younger generation's savvy navigation of the complex media landscape.

    We also tackle the challenges faced by third-party candidates like Mr. Kennedy, who strive to bring genuine grassroots movements into the political arena. Learn about the concept of "corporate capture" and the importance of seeking diverse sources of information. This episode highlights the significance of community involvement and personal responsibility in political engagement, urging listeners to take an active role in shaping the nation’s future.

    Following an unexpected break after a raucous Season 1 wrap-party lasting three days and causing them to miss last week’s show, The Friends In Wonder crew have been released on bail.

    While their sentence was reduced to community service because the judge and jury loved the podcast and wanted them out for a second season, FIW was ordered to take a break and develop even more and better shows.

    Never ones to run afoul of the law before, Joe and Vince humbly accepted the sentence without appeal. So, this much anticipated episode is a thank you and goodbye – for now – packed with the twists and turns of Season 1 and a finish you won't want to miss.
