  Stuck Culture w/ Ryan Hoppe

  Sep 30, 202651 min

  A topic Check Your Brain host Tony Mazur has been pondering lately has been the death of monoculture, as well as the nod towards nostalgia, or Stuck Culture. He talks about how the powers that be are still pushing Baby Boomer entertainers such as Madonna and Howard Stern, even though the marketplace never asked for them. Tony also joined Ryan Hoppe’s Hoppe Hour podcast to discuss the topic further, as well as how acts either adapt yet fail due to their cringe nature, or just fade away into obscurity.

  You Didn't Forget; You Were Distracted

  Sep 9, 20261h 9m

  Remember "Never Forget" in the days, weeks, months, and years after September 11th? Well, did the American people forget, or were they distracted by culture war issues, vices, and outsized elements out of their control? In this episode, Tony Mazur looks back on 25 years since the 9/11, as well as a year since Charlie Kirk's assassination, how we got here and what we can do to reverse matters. In the last quarter-century, the United States doesn't even resemble the same country, and now we have people openly cheering on political killings and child murderers with impunity.

  The End of Monoculture

  Sep 2, 202644 min

  Dolly Parton's death last week at age 80 signaled the end of what was called Monoculture. Today, due to demographics and technology, Americans don't collectively watch the same movies and shows, listen to the same music, or even consume the same news. The culture has been broken into thousands of subcultures, for better or worse, as Check Your Brain host Tony Mazur lays out in this week's episode.
