Better Dead Than In The Red
August 5, 2026
Kevin O’Neill kicks off the episode chatting on a variety of topics from the Cubs’ exciting game to not-so-exciting views on wages and standards of living throughout the years. Larissa Adamiec and John Flannigan join our second hour as John aims to truly define some political viewpoints and everyone shares their thoughts on socialism in the modern day and how it is and isn’t implemented by those who prefer it.
Guests & Co-Hosts
KEVIN O’NEILL
Kevin O’Neill is our Wednesday and Friday morning sports guy. His segment emphasizes what happens off the field as much as what happens on the field. All businesses have their intrigue, but the inner workings of sports organizations find their way into the public domain frequently. Unless a rant from the Chief spills into Kevin’s segment (not an unusual occurrence), he will highlight some of those sports related business issues; but be advised that those highlights usually come with an opinion.
LARISSA ADAMIEC
Larissa is a newly appointed Clinical Professor at Purdue University and expert in CPI numbers. She is a friend of weekly guest, Russell Rhoads and the two share their knowledge on their co-hosted podcast: Academic Market Insights. Listen here: https://www.youtube.com/@AcademicMarketInsights
