Hard Know Season 1 Trailer and Announcement
Dan has risen from the podcasting dead to let you know about his new podcast, Hard Know, made in collaboration with his brother David and many members of the wonderful podcasting community.
Hard Know is a narrative-driven, satirical, and creative dive into the many scams, cons, schemes, and deceptions that make up our world. Filled with original music, great writing, insight and information, it's all the best parts of Assorted Goods and much much more! Dissecting everything from memes to psychics, from con men to news empires. Is truth a matter of perception? Or suggestion?

Assorted Goods, Signing Off... (w/ Jeff Feightner)
Well this is it, after 3 1/2 years, about 70 episodes, hundreds of thousands of words researched and written, it's time to wrap up the Assorted Goods Podcast. Joining Dan to look back on the podcast is fellow podcaster and producer Jeff Feightner, who has heard Dan waffle over the decision to move on, or keep going about 50 times.
Thank you to the guests who have stopped by and of course, to the listeners who have supported the show and gave it life over these years.
But never fear, there are new projects on the horizon.

Education in a Brave New Digital World: with Carlo Trentadue
Back at the start of Covid, I had teacher, football coach, and a good friend of mine Carlo Trentadue on the podcast to talk about the challenges of teaching at a time like this. Now, 2 years later and as we return to a "new normal", Carlo has come back to talk more about digital literacy, having a keen eye for quality information, navigating 'social norms' online, and so much more.
Of course there's a little football talk too.

Telling the Full Story: with Michael Motley of OneMic History
Our history textbooks and classes have never told us the full story of our own history, and when it comes to the stories of Black America, those stories are often never told at all. This episode I'm joined by Michael Motley of the OneMic Black History Podcast, as we get into what it's like to tell the stories of history that people either haven't heard, or don't want to.
We also talk about how to navigate the minefield of the politicization of teaching about racial history, and of course, there's a little podcasting talk as well. Enjoy!

Lies, and the Lying Liars Who Start Wars with Them
When a war breaks out, a government has to build and deploy its lies as much as its military.
As Russia carries out a violent campaign of terror in Ukraine, we're taking a look at the narrative web of lies that President Vladimir Putin has spun, and how his tactics are part of a long pattern of leaders misleading their own people, and the world as a whole.

Customer Reviews
Charming and Authentic
Ever want to engage in a thoughtful discussion on a hot topic? Or simply a subject that is all the buzz? Then listen to Dan! Even I don’t agree with all his opinions, but he is respectful and doesn’t give into sensationalism. He also has a great, soothing voice to listen to.
Bet you didn’t know..
Listened to this show for the first time today. It was great. You can tell this guy loves to share his knowledge. Fun and never boring, I’m down for a few more. -Uncle Frank from Hold On, Im Almost There
This podcast....
Keeps me on the edge of my seat with the amount of information and research Dan puts out for its listeners. I appreciate it and just wanted to say please keep doing what you’re doing. You’re on your own lane and I haven’t heard anyone put out content like this. Glad I stumbled on here. If you are going to listen go all the way to the beginning, trust me/ or don’t but you won’t be disappointed.
