The Goadkicker Podcast is a place where I take a topic from pop culture (Comics, Movies, Music, TV, Books, and more) and try to look at it from a new light; exploring what that topic says to or about us as human beings. At the end of the show I then try to find an inspirational message in that topics. Think of it as a devotional, with no affiliation to any particular belief system.
