This week on the Check Your Brain podcast, Tony Mazur is joined by John Kerezy, a retiring associate professor at Cuyahoga Community College. In his second appearance on the show, John and Tony talked about the changing of consumer habits when it comes to mass media, specifically the dwindling relevance of late night comedy shows. They also touch on AI's use in media and the backlash it is already having from Generation Z, along with John's continued research on famous Ohioan and Olympian Jesse Owens.

In yet another free solo episode of the Check Your Brain podcast, Tony Mazur (along with ZeroHedge) asks the question, where have the men gone? He lays out what has gone on, from being forced out of the workforce to lacking a purpose in life, culminating in an incel, defeatist mentality. It's not too late to fix this.

Prior to Napster and LimeWire, the music industry seemed to be a cash cow. Everyone wanted in. But in the world of streaming, artists are making literal pennies on the dollar. Some bands will need tens of thousands of listens and likes to make a paycheck. The music industry is broken, which is why Bruce Springsteen and the Red Hot Chili Peppers have cashed in their chips and sold their music catalogue.

In this solo episode of the Check Your Brain podcast, Tony Mazur analyzes the issues in modern music. He plays interviews from Rick Beato and Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan who said rock 'n' roll was systematically destroyed three decades ago, and the only way one makes it in the music industry is if they have rich parents subsidizing their kids' vanity project. He also touches on the ridiculous New York Times' list of 30 Greatest Living Songwriters, the unoriginality in modern music, and the phenomenon known as "Blue Dot Fever."
