Description
Black Sheep and Bad Apples was created as a project by Loren O'Brien to find something he wasn't good at and to get better. That experiment has slowly evolved from casual meandering conversations into deep dives into a variety of topics. In it's current iteration, BS+BA is an exploration into conspiracies -- real and fake, as well as social issues and the news to examine the context within which we live today. Some guests come in to cold, knowing nothing, while others come in knowing slightly more. Either way, the host, Loren, tries to make it a fun, interesting journey into the unknown.
