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
Steven Seagal
Among the action stars of the 1990s, Steven Seagal's rise to fame and subsequent descent into infamy has been the most baffling. How was this man able to have a career in the first place? Who thought that giving a pathological liar money, power and a platform was a good idea (spoiler: Michael Ovitz did)? The inexplicability of it all prompts Grace to wonder: were we all just dumber in the 1990s?
Enjoy this spirited conversation about the innate power of being tall and white, prompted by the most god-awful wine commercial of all time.
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.
