In Stephen King's dystopian novel, the world has turned into one giant game show owned and controlled by Games Network. The only way to survive is to compete on the channel against others; and the winner gets a reward. The twist? The games are rigged and The Network stacks the odds against the participants.

Enter Ben Richards. A Man so desperate to give his daughter and wife a better life, that he competes in the highly rated show "Running Man". There he must escape and not be captured. Getting captured means death and running pays. We explore the grim side of this dystopian society in this episode and talk about the likelihood of getting such a world now.

Men's Book Club

Hello! Welcome to the Men's Book Club.

The inception of this podcast is as organic as the book clubs that your mother was probably into. We don't see many men sitting around and starting their own book club. So we did that.

What's the Men's Book Club? Two men, who enjoy reading, discussing their latest reads. We didn't start this podcast because we wanted to talk about books. We constantly talked about books, so we created this podcast.
