Welcome to the High Minds Podcast, where hosts Andy Colenzo and Matthew J. Distefano (me!) are bringing a new kind of conversation to your screen. Streaming live every Tuesday and Friday at 6 PM PST on the QuoirCast YouTube channel starting November 8, High Minds invites you to explore the culture at large. We’ll cover everything from sports and entertainment to the deeper questions of philosophy and spirituality.
Why Tune In to High Minds?
There’s no shortage of voices out there commenting on today’s cultural trends, but High Minds is different. Andy and I aren’t here to push a particular agenda or dive into political talking points; instead, we’re cultivating a space for thoughtful discussion that goes beyond the surface. Whether we’re analyzing the cultural impact of a film, discussing a new trend in sports, or unpacking big philosophical questions, you can count on High Minds to keep things interesting, open, and yes—elevated.
Our tagline, “Elevated Conversations on Culture,” perfectly captures what we’re about. We’re not here for quick takes and sound bites; we’re here to dig a little deeper, share perspectives, and create a space where everyone is welcome to join in.
The Format: Two Shows a Week, Live on QuoirCast
Get ready for two live shows each week. Every Tuesday and Friday at 6 PM PST, join us as we take on the cultural topics of the moment, share our unique perspectives, and engage with live viewers. The live format makes each episode dynamic and interactive, so feel free to jump into the comments and be part of the conversation. Think of it as a digital hangout where you never know where the conversation will go next—but you know it will keep you engaged and curious.
What Topics Can You Expect?
High Minds isn’t your typical podcast, and we’re not interested in limiting ourselves to one lane. You can expect topics like:
- Sports: Beyond just game scores and stats, we will dive into the cultural significance of sports, the personalities that make headlines, and the way these athletic narratives intersect with larger societal trends.
- Entertainment: From the latest film releases to must-watch TV series, High Minds will explore how entertainment reflects and shapes our culture.
- Philosophy & Spirituality: Some of the best conversations happen when we allow ourselves to question what we think we know. Andy and I aren’t afraid to tackle big ideas, challenge common beliefs, and open the floor to differing perspectives.
- Pop Culture Moments: There’s always something happening in the world that captures everyone’s attention, and High Minds is the perfect space to break down these moments, unpack the trends, and maybe even predict what’s coming next.
