Deep Dives in the Shallow End: Where Humor Meets Hard Truths

Join your mononymous host Donovan as he plunges into the murky waters of modern life, armed with nothing but wit, sarcasm, and a healthy dose of existential dread. From the remnants of mall culture to the gig economy's grinding gears, we examine the overlooked corners of existence that shape our world.

This isn't your average podcast—it's a rollercoaster ride through the absurdities of contemporary society, delivered with a perfect blend of humor and hard-hitting facts. We turn everyday objects into existential crises and dissect cultural phenomena with the precision of a caffeinated surgeon.

Whether we're unraveling the global waste crisis or exposing the dark underbelly of hustle culture, Deep Dives in the Shallow End promises to make you laugh, think, and maybe question everything you thought you knew. It's a show for those who like their truth served with a side of snark and a generous sprinkle of pop culture references.

So, grab your favorite beverage (we won't judge if it's Everclear), and join us as we navigate the shallow waters of modern life, always searching for those unexpected deep spots. Remember, in the words of your host Donovan, 'We're just scratching the surface on this whizbang podcast.'"

    Constitution-Free Vacation Zone: How the CBP Can Search Your Phone

    What if I told you that nearly 200 million Americans live in a zone where the Constitution is more of a vibe than a legal guarantee? In this episode, we dive headfirst into the 100-mile border zone—a legally murky area where Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has sweeping authority to search your phone, your data, and possibly your soul... all without a warrant.

    We unpack the history, the legal loopholes, and the techno-dystopian reality of modern border enforcement—from device seizures to algorithmic profiling, and how fear has become the most valuable national export.

    It’s dark. It’s absurd. It’s very, very real.

    So go ahead—delete your browser history. Or don’t. They already have it.

  • From Phonics to Profiteering: The Failure of the K12 Education System

    From Phonics to Profiteering: The Failure of the K12 Education System
    Apr 1 2025

    Send us a text

    Welcome to Deep Dives in the Shallow End, where host Donovan drags the American K–12 education system out behind the gym and gives it the wedgie it so richly deserves. In From Phonics to Profiteering, we explore how a public good became a private grift—ripping through the cobwebbed history, savage inequalities, test-mania, teacher burnout, corporate vultures, and tech-fueled delusions that turned classrooms into pressure cookers and profit centers.


    It’s a wild, weird, and wickedly researched takedown filled with dark comedy, uncomfortable truths, and the occasional emotional support peacock. So sharpen your pencils—metaphorically, of course—and prepare to get schooled.

    In this episode of Deep Dives in the Shallow End, we take you on a wild ride through the ever-expanding world of self-diagnosis. From hypochondria’s finest moments to the endless rabbit holes of WebMD and TikTok health trends, we explore how the internet has turned us all into amateur doctors—and how that sometimes leads to more anxiety than answers.

    But don’t worry, it’s not all doom and gloom. We’ll also discuss how access to health information can empower patients and how to balance informed self-advocacy with knowing when to trust the pros. Get ready for a journey through the tangled mess that is self-diagnosis—with a few laughs along the way.
