Dennis Tvrdik, singer of metal band Affiance (hiatus), talks psychology, politics, philosophy, science, and of course... music. Less of a show and more of just banter with friends and guests about the world we live in, Dennis focuses on conversations that act as a bridge between a widening gap of political ideologies and identity politics, and how it affects our personal lives. His style is laid back and playful, yet serious in content. Hope you enjoy!

Very Entertaining

This show is so unique. Topics range from religion to politics to personal relationships to even band life. Nothing in this podcast comes off as fake. Dennis’ genuine demeanor makes a lot of what he says relatable. Definitely worth listening to if you want something funny and different that will still challenge you to think about your life and the world around us.

Eloquent Enlightenment

The amazing part about this for anyone who knows Dennis personally is that he's like this all the time. Game to dive deep into a conversation and challenge your preconceived notions about a topic or idea while keeping it intelligent, funny and non combative. Keep diving deep Denny. You're headed the right direction. Can't wait to hear more!
