Shownotes
Every new episode of No Agenda is accompanied by a comprehensive list of shownotes curated by Adam while preparing for the show. Clips played by the hosts during the show can also be found here.
Video vs Audio
Listening to 1807 and the complaint from the man who said you can't share audio clips on social media.
That's the exact reason Clip Genie turns audio podcasts into video clips.
The learning pyramid
Please note that I too felt that, you, Adam, in particular was pretty
anti-video podcasting . I am glad that you were able to clarify. Next
I'll find our rhat you Love Tik Tok and Youtube and you will launch on
both plus Insta (as Megyn Kelly, and the kids call it). Can Rumble be
far behind followed of course by Spotify?
Adam you
were spot on, except you weren't on the Learning Pyramid/ I had to
refresh my memory since I learned thias over 50 years ago. As per GROK:
The
**learning pyramid**, also known as the "cone of learning" or "cone of
experience," is a model that illustrates how different learning methods
impact knowledge retention. Often attributed to Edgar Dale (1946),
though its exact origins and percentages are debated, it suggests that
people retain information better through active participation than
passive methods. The pyramid ranks learning activities by their
effectiveness, with approximate retention rates:
- **Bottom
(Highest Retention, 90%)**: Teaching others or using knowledge
immediately (e.g., explaining a concept or applying it in practice).
- **80%**: Practice by doing (e.g., hands-on activities, simulations, or real-world application).
- **70%**: Discussion with others (e.g., group discussions or collaborative learning).
- **50%**: Demonstration (e.g., watching someone perform a task and then trying it).
- **30%**: Audiovisual (e.g., watching videos, viewing diagrams, or multimedia presentations).
- **20%**: Reading (e.g., textbooks, articles, or written materials).
- **Top (Lowest Retention, 10%)**: Lecture or listening (e.g., passively listening to a presentation or audio).
### Key Points:
-
**Active vs. Passive**: The pyramid emphasizes that active learning
(teaching, practicing, discussing) leads to higher retention than
passive methods (listening, reading).
- **Criticism**: The specific
retention percentages are not backed by rigorous empirical data and may
oversimplify learning. Factors like learner motivation, prior knowledge,
and teaching quality also matter.
- **Modern Context**: While the
pyramid is still used in education to advocate for interactive teaching,
some argue it’s outdated due to advances in cognitive science and
varied learning styles.
You are not mean to Dvorak on NA
Dear Adam,
Two things:
1.) I
cannot, can NOT stop singing the secretary general song to myself. It
is by the far the most powerful jingle ever used on the show. Even more
than … dvorak... dot
org... slash, N, A
2.) I
firmly believe John and his family are hoodwinking you with this “be
nice to John” stuff. Either they are creating multiple email addresses
or whatever, or are otherwise
planting seeds. I like John very much, but he’s very mean to you. If
you come up with a joke, he jabs you and says where did you get that
from, you didn’t write it. Even on last episode, you mentioned knowing
where the triangle in SF is and and he said you
must have looked it up. That’s some serious treating you like a beta
male. Meanwhile, John does those long periods of silence, and instead of
commenting on your clips, he just tells you to play his. Also, you put
so much work into making the show sound professional
and he talks while you play the jingles, blows his nose, turns his
headphones up (which probably is him being professional contrarian but
he's gone off the rails and it just seems mean.)
Yes,
there have been times especially back in the weed days when you were too
touchy, but overall there is not an issue with the way you treat John.
In my opinion there
IS an issue with the way he treats you.
I
love ya both, and I don’t like to hear mommy and daddy fighting, but
it’s an obvious trick in my opinion. Meaning you are the victim, and you
are being blamed. Stand up
for yourself when necessary, and overall you both need to be more nice
to each other.
