About this listen

 Welcome to ’The HotSeat with Fred: Unpacking Today’s Issues,’ where curiosity meets perspective. Your host, Fred, has been captivated by the intersections of politics and society since his teenage years. Over the decades, he’s immersed himself in a plethora of news outlets, editorials, and analyses—shaping a viewpoint that is both informed and unique. This podcast serves as a platform for Fred to dissect, evaluate, and comment on the pressing issues and news stories that shape our world today. A bit about the man behind the mic—Fred was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in 1994 and has been navigating life in a wheelchair since 2002. Though MS has imposed physical limitations, it has left untouched his indomitable spirit and intellectual vigor. Fred considers this podcast not just an exercise in public discourse but also a personal journey of resilience and continuous learning. Join Fred as he delves into topics that others might shy away from—no issue is too hot to handle, no news too fresh to break down. You’re not just tuning in for another show; you’re taking a seat in a classroom where society is the subject, the news is the textbook, and everyone has something valuable to contribute. Thank you for being a part of this journey. Whether you’re here to challenge your viewpoints, seek a different angle on the news, or simply listen—Fred’s HotSeat is open for you.Copyright 2023 All rights reserved.
