The Plaid Jacket Philosopher’s Podcast
A podcast that aims to break the stereotypes surrounding tradespeople and the blue-collar working class. I'd like to highlight the stories, accomplishments, and inspirations of the people behind the scenes in our society. From job site humor to parenting tips, personal monologues to interviews - a platform for the men and women who keep our lights on and our society functioning.

The pod is back! Life takes priority, but I'm dipping my toes back in to this thing. This one is for all the man (or woman)-children out there, time to grow up.

Elon Musk bought Twitter with the intention of providing a service with greater freedom of speech. So why is this being shouted down as detrimental to society? Also, how will this affect Canadians with the looming Bill C-10/C-11 coming down the line?
