Coronavirus Impact on Interview Scheduling and Context
The host explains that the coronavirus pandemic forced a restructuring of the interview schedule to prioritize urgent topics. This specific conversation with Richard Dolan was recorded three weeks prior to the global lockdown, providing a brief window into pre-crisis discourse. The introduction notes that Dolan's later comments on the technocracy and the surveillance state have gained significant relevance in the weeks following the recording.

00:02 Hello, Hireside Chatters! You know it's not often I jump in before an interview to add context but a lot of unprecedented things are happening these days. Of course as i've mentioned the coronavirus chaos really caused me to have to change up the order of interviews and scramble to get some that truly addressed this situation out to you first Like I've said before, it's kind of like recording four interviews right before 9-11. You can't just proceed as scheduled and have several weeks go by without addressing this big crazy situation that just happened And it's bittersweet because this was the main interview that kind of had to be put on the back burner and It's with a guest that I've been wanting to sit down with for years so...I kinda hate to have this small asterisk on it but
00:55 We did make it happen and I finally got a chance to ask him some of the things that i wanted to hear him weigh in on. Things we might call ufology or disclosure adjacent, and then boom! We kinda hit this full-on worldwide threat level midnight situation So I apologize to him for the long delay, but towards the end of the first hour Richard does share his thoughts on the state of things and the technocracy and surveillance state. And in these new strange times just a few weeks later... His words have even more weight, I would say But i hope you're all keeping your humanity and really taking care of people around you who need it. That said
01:41 As I listen back to this one, it's actually crazy how medicinal it is to hear a conversation from just three weeks ago when there was still some air left in the room for non-virus related content. But here we are! Let's get to it! Enjoy In the 1930s, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt addressed the nation through a series of radio broadcast known as the Fireside Chats. His aim was to reassure the common man that our society would recover from its troubled times. From 1930 and I deal with a different kind of fire For a new era of worldly frustration we offer a fresh conversation. I'm Greg Carlwood These are The Hireside Chat
