Episode 173: We Didn’t Start the F.I.R.E.

This week, the BullCast crew is playing with fire. But don’t worry … we won’t burn the studio down. Join us as we discuss the lifestyle movement known as Financial Independence, Retire Early (or FIRE.) We’ll start the show with our list of the best characters with fire powers. Then, we’ll discuss the history of the FIRE movement and why people are jumping on board two decades after it was created. The goal of FIRE is to save heftily now, with the goal of retiring very early. But, with most things in life, there are downsides. FIRE requires drastic lifestyle changes, reducing expenses, investing wisely, plus much more. Is it worth it? Does living off ramen for a couple decades fit everyone? Absolutely not! That’s why our team is fired up to weigh the pros and cons of the FIRE movement.

Episode 172: American History (of) X: Part 2

Buckle up for Part 2 of our Musk musings as we discuss the fate of X, AKA rebranded-Twitter. There is no list this week because there’s too much to talk about! In the show, Katie, Cort, and Cam breakdown the timeline of Elon Musk buying Twitter, and consider the impact this tech-wunderkind has on social media, politics, and the economy. While Musk is a polarizing, wildcard of a human, there’s no denying his brilliance and dedication toward pushing tech as far as it can go. After all, what other person on the globe owns a self-driving car company, space-travel corporation, and social media mega site? The fate of X is anyone’s guess at this point, but it sure is fun giving our predictions.

Episode 171: American History (of) X: Part 1

It’s been a while since we’ve done a two-part episode – and we have to admit, it was a happy accident. What started out as a show about the demise of Twitter (or X, most recently) at the hands of tech-wunderkind Elon Musk, turned into a poignant discussion on the evolution of social media over the past two decades. We’ll start the show with our list of the most famous social networking sites of all time. While the entire show is our list, we hit on important topics like generational migration, social connectivity, and the profound impact these platforms have had on society. Don’t miss the show as we dive into the Metaverse (and beyond.) And we’ll see you next week for part two as we focus in on Elon Musk and his purchase of Twitter.

Then, we’ll turn the page to the most successful book-to-movie adaptations.

Episode 169: Community College Conversations

For many people, attending a four-year university is an obligatory step toward a successful career. In past shows, we have discussed the value of trade schools, but have failed to talk about the offerings of community colleges. But this is too important of a topic to skim over. We’ll start the show with our list of the best TV shows and movies about community college. Then, we’ll jump into the JUCO jabber with Nicole Ellis. Nicole is a proud graduate of a local junior college, and discusses the benefits of this alternative form of higher education. We’ll weigh the pros and cons, and give insight into why the community college stigma needs to be a thing of the past.
