  • Poor Sound Quality -please improve

    Unfortunately, the very poor, hollow, heavy treble and changing volume or recording levels really detract from this otherwise important podcast. Things as simple as filtering out ambient noises and/or coaching hosts and guests to avoid distracting noises such as the clicking of a pen or crackling of paper, are neglected and make the episodes difficult or impossible to listen to. The lack of professionalism in terms of audio craft is a pity given the valuable content that will be missed as a re... more

    I am almost 70 years old…I have a want to go against this regime before it becomes too colossal! I really have a feeling that I can’t sit by and allow this country suffer, what I think is Catastrophic consequences…my heart is burning with agony. I’m usually a positive thinking person. But when our voting rights could be our own demise! I spent time in the military in the 70’s. I have a lot of respect for our constitution. Why do we need an American president who committed crimes.

  • Needs a better interviewer

    I’m a social work student wanting to learn more about the various roles and opportunities in the field. The professionals being interviewed are great but the constant stream of “ums”, “uhs”, and “likes” from the guy doing the interviews is very distracting and grating to hear. Honestly, it’s just about impossible to listen too. I’ve scrolled back to see years of this feedback. How has this not been addressed? With such a large organization surely there is a more professional person available to ... more

  • Great Info But…

    I just finished listening to Ep. 115. The information shared was fantastic and is definitely missing in my formal education. I am very appreciative of the guest speaker’s transparency and willingness to share her personal and professional experiences.

    However, the interviewers use of filler words was quite distracting. In one question, he said “um” every two words. I can understand he may have been nervous or maybe did not have a lot of time with the questions. Otherwise, he asked great questio... more

  • Basically a promotional vehicle

    I wish episodes were more than an author appearing to promote their latest book. With the vast membership base that NASW must have, it would be much more interesting to hear from a variety of guests from different backgrounds and types of practice. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised when NASW is an organization that seems to focus more on selling its products than being of service to its members.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP 140 - A Journey To Becoming a Social Worker and Social Justice Leader
Q: What advice would you give to social workers coming into the field that are interested in advocacy?
Stay connected to the larger systems, show up consistently, participate in NASW committees like AGR and PACE, and be ready to advocate for policies that affect clients at all levels of government.
EP 138 - Social Workers, Investment Funds & Evictions
Q: What is CARES and how did it evolve within the Amherst Group?
CARES started as a pragmatic effort to prevent evictions by housing social workers inside corporate and investment settings, then expanded with government liaison support and interns turning into full-time staff, ultimately delivering thousands of hours of direct social work and millions in rent relief depending on the crisis.
EP 138 - Social Workers, Investment Funds & Evictions
Q: How did you connect with social workers and the field of social work?
The turning point was Hurricane Katrina, which inspired me to bring together the social workers, the real estate side, and UT to pilot programs that could serve displaced families, and this collaboration laid the groundwork for Cap City Kids and CARES.
EP 138 - Social Workers, Investment Funds & Evictions
Q: Tell us a bit about your early career and how you got started in finance.
I started in Houston in a traditional private investment setting, where family offices managed most financial needs; the experience taught me the importance of building relationships and managing complex portfolios, which later translated into a broader social impact approach as I connected finance with social work.
EP 139 - What Every Social Worker Must Know About Motherhood, Stress, Alcohol Use and Practical Ways to Help
Q: What resources or practices can social workers recommend to mothers facing stress and alcohol use?
Normalize overwhelm, reduce shame, connect mothers with open-knowledge resources, support groups, and community networks; emphasize oxygen-masks-first principle for caregivers.
