About this listen

There are many great thinkers of the past and with each generation we are moving further away from them. These brilliant men and women had a goldmine of insights and ideas that many of us are now missing out on. Our goal at Speaking Your Lingo is to dig up these valuable insights and shine a light on them for our current cultural moment. We want to share these insights in a way that honors those of the past and yet speaks the lingo of this generation. Welcome to Speaking Your Lingo, helping this generation think well.© 2025 Speaking Your Lingo

    Apr 21 2025

    Send us a text

    In this episode, host Shane Lingo sits down with good friend and guest Gavin Knickerbocker for a conversation that’s a little out of this world, literally.

    Gavin has spent years researching reports of extraterrestrial life, UFOs, and government disclosures, and he believes there’s more going on in the skies than we’ve been told. Shane, on the other hand, comes at the topic with healthy skepticism and some big questions.

    Together, they dive into the most compelling pieces of evidence, explore government secrecy, debate popular alien theories, and wrestle with what it would mean if we’re not alone in the universe. It’s a respectful, thought-provoking dialogue between curiosity and conviction, perfect for believers, skeptics, and the undecided alike.

    Strap in, this conversation might challenge your assumptions, make you laugh, and just maybe open your mind.

  • Separation of Church and State: What Does It Really Mean?
    Apr 10 2025

    In this episode, I’m excited to be back with you to explore a major Supreme Court case that could shape how we interpret the separation of church and state in America. While much of the recent news has focused on education policy, especially President Trump’s executive order shifting control back to states and local communities, today we turn our attention to the judicial branch.

    We’ll look closely at the upcoming case St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School v. Drummond, a case that has the potential to become a landmark decision. What’s at stake? What might this mean for public funding, religious schools, and constitutional interpretation moving forward? Let’s dig in.

    In this episode, I tell the story behind Silent Night, the most popular Christmas carol of all time and, by some accounts, the most recorded song in history. But there's more to this classic than just its melody—its connection to the WWI Christmas Truce makes it a symbol of peace and hope during the holiday season. Tune in to discover the story behind the beloved Christmas classic.
