Consider This! | Conservative political commentary in 10 minutes or less Podcast artwork

Let's talk politics in 10 minutes or less! Doug Payton gives his take on the politics and culture events of the day from his conservative perspective. But this is no long, drawn-out opinion piece. Each episode is 10 minutes or less, and usually covers 3 topics or so. The idea is to get you to look at topics from a different angle with information you've not heard from your regular blogs, or your Facebook or Twitter feeds. And the idea is, also, to get your feedback and thoughts so that we can all consider this.

Episode 326: The End

A leak out of the Supreme Court suddenly made abortion and Roe v Wade the main topic of outrage from the Left.

Are there reasons (that are not religious ones or regarding morality) that those decisions don’t hold up legally? Listen in to f

Episode 324: Papers Push a Narrative / Elon Buys Twitter / Disney Goes Political

May 09 2022 10 mins  
One way newspapers push a particular narrative is mentioning the race of a perpetrator right up front or way in the back. Or not at all.

Thing is, it really brought out who really

Episode 318: Representing What You Disagree With / Big Tech Exceptions

Jul 19 2021 7 mins  
Why would you voluntarily seek to represent a group that you disagree with? And should you be replaced in that representation? When Big Tech social media companies ban someone, some suggest that since they are private companies that’s OK. But there are other considerations. And what happens when they start doing the bidding of the government? Mentioned links: Olympic athlete
