  • Great conversations to self analyze

    I found this podcast from a random post on Instagram.

Listening to this podcast, even after only a few episodes, has helped me feel not so alone but also to bring more awareness to issues I’ve been wrestling with or unaware of that I need to look at. I’m just starting (and unsure of a bit) of how to g... more

  • This, like Critical Race Theory, should be compulsory listening for everyone! For background, I am a cisgender straight white male who would like to be considered an ally of the LGBTQ+ community. These are the types of experiences that I simply did not have growing up, and frankly didn't realize were happening all around me. I found this to be entertaining, enlightening, and moving. I can't wait for more episodes!
