Life is too rushed, too complex, and always way too stressful. We all know this. And sometimes we need to pause things... just for a while. Sit... Breathe... Relax... Three simple remedies to help ease your hectic day. And so we cordially invite you to take a much needed short break: a restorative pause in which to pull up a chair, to sit back and join Steve Matchett and Kevin Fielden pondering the world from the porch of Steve’s home on the banks of Lake Wylie, in Charlotte, North Carolina. The entire premise for this pleasurable distraction is intentionally unassuming: Two friends chatting about nothing in particular (most definitely not about religion or politics) for half-an-hour, maybe forty minutes. That’s it. That’s the whole thing. One take. No quirky, overly produced editing. No unnecessary music playing in the background - nothing beyond the natural ambience of nature itself. In essence, then, gentle listener, this little get-together is simply you, Matchett and the other guy unwinding by the lake – friends enjoying one another’s company. The restorative pause. Sit... Breathe... Relax... Enjoy.

Although we are extremely diverse in the scale of our various languages, as a species we all manage to communicate with one another. It is a complex business, no question, for all languages are awash with a multitude of minute inflections, varying accents and regional dialects. Indeed, things can be confusing even when two folks are speaking in the same tongue; as the quotation widely attributed to George Bernard Shaw has it: “England and America, two countries separated by a common language!” And, as we sit back with our two talkative hosts to delve into this week's fascinating topic, you might be enjoying a cool soda... or is that a bottle of pop? Perhaps you're snacking on a bag of chips... or are those crisps? In all events, let's do our best to find common ground as Kevin and Steve attempt to convey their often not-so-complicated ideas with us, and we patiently attempt to translate their words into cohesive thoughts.
