Convince Me I Care
A podcast that explores the absurdities of the modern world through a series of generation-gap rhetorical dares. Ever wonder why, exactly, the Kids are up to that thing these days? Or what the hell the Olds were thinking when they created the world they’ve left us all to inherit? Convince Me I Care aims to explain the inexplicable by forcing our arbitrary representatives of each generation to account for themselves and their contemporaries. In each episode, we’ll dive into some strange facet of generational culture and try to convince each other that it does, in fact, matter. Join us as we attempt to parse the fads, foibles, fears, and fandoms of the recent past.
Convince Me I Care
Twilight
Team Edward? Team Jacob? Team Confused-Old-Guy? For better or worse (many would argue better), there is a generation of folks who missed the "Twilight" craze. But actors like Kristin Stewart and Robert Pattison stubbornly insist on having ongoing careers, often making admirable artistic choices. Their persistence prompts curiosity about their origins as Bella and Edward, principles in a world replete with vampires who don't kill and shockingly obvious Mormon theological foundations. Grace and David explore, ruminate, and try not to castigate...too severely.
Grace Todd and David Timberline are your tour guides through this ongoing investigation of cultural artifacts from our collective recent past with a unique intergenerational spin. We're convinced you'll have a great time listening to Convince Me I Care.
