Reconnect and Resonate with The Eclectic Podcast that takes a Deep Look into Topics Involving: Life, Science, Psychology, Art, Humanity, and Curated/Popular Media. Unscripted, unfiltered, honest and authentic and occasionally for passion and/or comedy's sake - hyperbolic.
By discussing a wide-variety and range of topics, co-hosts Zach and Elaine take you on a listening discovery and learning-based journey that explore eclectic topics that expand our minds, deepen our hearts, with the goal of reconnecting us towards (com)passion for: life, interests, and one another. To instill and distill knowledge that is both experience and research-based, we delve into existential, philosophical and interesting conversations that probe into the deeper meaning and context of a given topic. We are happy to share this fun, weird and interesting experience that's never dry.
Moreover, this format also provides the opportunity for hosts and guests to connect on a deeper, but also relatable level, in the backdrop of an ever-increasingly disconnected and neurotic world. There are eventual plans to share this opportunity at voice with experts and listener's alike to distill such topics in detail. Your voice and expression matters!
Due to the passions/enthusiasm of our hosts, this podcast may contain some explicit language and occasional F*-bombs, but always refrain from being distasteful, or excessive in nature. It should be considered generally safe for most listening audiences.
This podcast is continually evolving, so we are open to suggestions and feedback.

S01E11[#011] Teenagers Throwing Rocks at Moving Cars
Today we discuss the deadly game of teenage (and occasionally older people) throwing rocks through people's windshields, causing them to lose control and in some cases, die. This is a trend that started in the 90s, possibly earlier. It's currently in-vogue among teenagers across the United States and sometimes it takes years before they are caught.

S01E10[#010] Injustice System
After a bit of.a hiatus, we're back to discuss the justice system, injustices in the system, and if you're innocent - what you can do to defend yourself. We also discuss gun violence, the police state, pleas, insanity and prosecution of children.
Correction: in the beginning of the podcast, I incorrectly said this was episode 9 by mistake (since we had taken several weeks off. So please realize this is indeed a new episode!!) -
S01E09[#009] - The Whale
Today we discuss the dynamics between the chacters and analysis of central plot points.

S01E08[#008] - Shen Yun
Today we reflect on yesterday's live orchestration and dance performance of Shen Yun (self ascribed as: China Before [oppressive] Communism. We review the meaning of the performance and its importance, message and everlasting impact in contrast to the survive vs. thrive mentality we ever-increasingly live by. The real quest to exercise tolerance, compassion and love (for one another) even in the wake of destructive forces, the other side of humanity that's continually hellbent on greed, division and ruination. Let this be the gentle reminder that each of our affect and actions hold consequences, not only for ourselves, but most importantly also influence others. Ultimately behavior does shape outcome and the higher road is not always a painless one. However, a deep level of vulnerability is both beautiful as it is bountiful and provides a much more prosporous path to travel as together we work towards a better world for us all.

S01E07[#007] - Is Opening the Door to A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) Going to Destroy Us?
Today we discuss conceptualizing AI, what harnessing the power of AI means for our future, social policies, our very way of life and what exists on the horizon. In this Q&A/discovery-style podcast provide examples along with discussing the pros/cons of humanity's large-scale adoption of this new advent of technology. Just how how far will humanity go, just how far/close we are from this exploding technological evolution and what role and where humans reside in its future.
