TOBACCO ROAD - Boomer Monologues

What this episode covers

BOOMER MONOLOGUES Episode 8- "Tobacco Road" Hello. Welcome back to BOOMER MONOLOGUES. This is Episode 8- "Tobacco Road.” I’m inviting you to step back in time with me again, this time to Main Street, USA, circa 1955. I suggest you bring your Covid-19 masks along, though, to filter out some of the hazardous-to-your-health, second-hand smoke you'll definitely encounter there. The mid-Twentieth Century is a very smoky era, a land of Zippo lighters; cigarette-dispensing machines wherever people gather; cigarette commercials with the catchiest jingles; cool TV celebrities smiling their big, alluring smiles while smoking their favorite brands all over the boob tube and urging you to join right in with them; and. last but not least, a handful of very impressionable and vulonerable little nine-year-olds, like me.

Ancient Roads: Real Israel Talk Radio Avi ben Mordechai ABOUT ME and THIS PODCAST: I am Avinoam ("Avi") ben Mordechai. I am an old veteran of the radio broadcast industry. For me, radio programming was very different when I started in the early 1970s as a California "rock jock" radio personality and later in the 1980s as a Colorado radio programmer and secular and religious content talk show host. I selectively do live on-air radio programming where I find opportunity, but ultimately, whatever I pursue with my years of radio broadcast training is not formal. I seek to serve Yehovah with the gifts and talents that He has given to me. Today, I am passionate about teaching the Bible in an understandable way to modern readers of ancient Scripture. The biblical studies I engage in through my teaching monologues and, in some cases, interviews with knowledgable academic researchers, are, at the very core, Hebraic studies, as I seek to connect the dots, so to speak, between the biblical Hebrew Bible and the Brit Hadasha (the New Covenant
