392. Greg Rucka on the Olympics, patriotism, elections, and a sigh of relief

The Sifu Mimi Chan Show

It’s another episode of “The Mimi and Greg Show” where Greg Rucka tackles all the current events. This episode was recorded on August 1st.

‌I’m excited that Rucka and I are back on a consistent basis for another engaging conversation. We dive deep into multiple topics — from the grand stage of the Olympics to patriotism, the political landscape shaped by the upcoming election, and the collective relief we feel following the recent announcement of Kamala Harris’s presidential candidacy.

As the world gathers to celebrate the Olympics, we reflect on the intersection of global unity and national pride. Greg brings his unique perspective on how these events shape our understanding of identity and community. We also delve into the evolving nature of patriotism in today’s society, examining how it influences our actions and beliefs on both personal and national levels, especially the symbol of the American flag.

With the election on the horizon, our conversation turns to the challenges ahead ­– Russia’s interference with the election, cyber-attacks, and more.

Join us for another fun episode filled episode of Rucka Rants and thought-provoking insights. Whether you’re a fan of his work or simply curious about these pressing issues, this conversation promises to be a fun one.
