We're so excited to be back! In this new season, we're going to be taking a bit of a different approach. Instead of an hour-long weekly show hitting a wide range of topics, we've decided to narrow it down to one topic of cultural, political, or theological significance, distilled to a shorter, organic rant with creative elements sprinkled throughout. Doing it this way, we can focus on more quality and engaging content and build it from there. In this introductory episode of season 2, Chad Barela explores the responsibility both parties have in any dialogue. Too often, all of the weight of responsibility gets heaped on the transmitter of information and none ever seems to be claimed by the receiver, making cordial conversations at scale impossible. I hope you enjoy the episode.

In this episode of For Goodness' Sake, Chad shares what went into his decision to suspend doing weekly shows, what he learned over the last 8 months, and what he and Chorus will primarily focus on moving forward.

In this episode of For Goodness' Sake, Chad starts by telling about his out of place rib and his subsequent, smelly experience at the chiropractor. He put together a vaguely Christmas themed quiz for Chorus, shares his very feasible Christmas wishlist, goes down music lane starting with the "godmother of drumming" and ending with Larnell Lewis of Snarky Puppy, closing by exploring the newly announced Gemini AI by Google.
