Dr. Lowery has a PhD and is an adjunct college professor, he presents information, that on the surface could be somewhat complicated, in a fashion that is easy to understand, no doubt, from his experience in the classroom.

    Dr. Lowery was one of the cohosts of an exceptionally long running podcast called

    Iron Radio, (still available) he occasionally returns for more of a longform podcast when his schedule allows. The i... more
