<![CDATA[As The World Turns and Burns]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/as-the-world-turns-and-burns The world will always do two things: 1. It's gonna turn. 2. It's gonna burn (metaphorically and physically,) so why not make the most of it? As The World Turns or Burns is a weekly News & Politics podcast hosted by Career Pathways host and Lyon College's Patrick Lynch, most call him Pat. Every two weeks Pat is joined by two Lyon College professors Dr. Brendan Connell and Dr. Kieran O'Keefe! On the weeks they aren't on, Pat sits down and talks with guests about world affairs that they are involved in and or have a deep understanding of.

The show focuses on the world and it's crazy politics and news. New episodes every Tuesday! Shot at the KILT Studios at Lyon College. Produced by Jayson Nichols.
