Constellation: Last Stand Media's Conversational Podcast

• #108 | The Flow State, Dream Vacations, Ninjas

  They're the world's most fearsome podcast team! Welcome back to Constellation! If you like those weapon-slingin' teenaged reptiles then you'll LOVE this episode's lineup! The first to wield his topic this week, Matty would like to converse with his bros about that elusive frame of mind known as 'the flow state'. What are the activities and specific talents that allow us to slip into a state of total focus, concentration and contentment. Next, driven by a cold Philadelphia winter, Dagan would like to lead his pals in a daydreaming session about fantasy vacations. In our respective opinions, what is the ideal getaway and which destinations do we feel most compelled to cross off our bucket lists. Lord Cognito strikes last, emerging from the shadows with a discussion about ninjas. These mysterious black-clad warriors became a pop culture phenomenon decades ago through TV, video games and comics, so why are we still so fascinated with everything about them? Thanks so much for tuning in!

• #107 | US TikTok Ban, Global Art Appreciation, PlayStation's GaaS Meltdown

  Hello! It's me, Colin, returning to host Constellation for the first time in... well... quite awhile. Dagan was actually supposed to helm this episode -- I was going to appear as the fourth, topic-less guest -- but he got pulled into a work meeting at the last minute leaving me in the lead chair, and today's show as a trio. As such, please welcome Punching Up co-host Gene Park and LSM legal analyst Rick Hoeg back to the program. We start with Gene this week, who wants to talk about the imminent ban of the TikTok app in the United States, which should have already gone into effect by the time our podcast publishes. Hoeg, on the other hand, wants to delve into arts and entertainment from a global perspective, inquiring on which countries, localities, and so on we find ourselves most attracted to when it comes to the media we consume and appreciate. Finally, I bring up the rear with a topic that's top of many of our minds: What in god's name is going on with PlayStation and its games-as-a-service initiative?

• #106 | Media Binging, Natural Disasters, Domestic Squabbles

  Constellation rings in the new year with the triumphant return of everybody's favorite Final Boss! Colin occupies the 4th chair this week as the boys discuss a range of topics. First, Dustin wants to talk about media binging. Do we prefer to consume TV and video games gradually, aka the old-fashioned way, or do we like to marathon our media from start to finish in one sitting? Next up, as the wildfires continue to blaze through Los Angeles, Brad would like to discuss our thoughts on natural disasters. How do we deal with the potential of hazardous weather and dangerous geographic events striking the places we live? Last, Dagan brings us home with a little discourse about domestic squabbles. What bugs us about the people we share our homes with, and which of our habits incense those very same folks. Dagan thought of at least six additional annoying things about living with Helene since the show was recorded, but we'll save all that for a part two. But probably not because Dagster would prefer to stay married.

• #104 | Dog Shows, Inspirations, Wasting Money

  Surprise! Time for another Constellation! With Chris in the hosting chair and the suspiciously close Brad and Dustin, it's destined to be an interesting listen. Chris is baffled by dog shows and their very existence. Brad wants to know about the people the inspired us in life. Dustin asks about the things we hate wasting money on (and the things we don't).
