I’ve enjoyed this podcast immensely for a while now, but today’s episode hit especially close to home. I lost a dear friend two days ago, and the timing for this episode could not have been better. Thank you for being honest and open and accepting of all kinds of grief. I’ve shared this episode with many people already.
Found this pod through The Tangle. Like the diversity of topics. And how each side is thoughtfully addressed and explained.
I love Julie’s thoughtful approach to issues. I’d love to hear an episode on DEI, interviewing employers and admissions workers with experience in implementing it. Love to hear the pros and cons.
I might as well be listening to NPR pushing its agenda. I’m pretty sure this podcast is just an affiliate. Too bad. Super unfortunate BYU Radio pays it too.
This podcast is so interesting! I can’t wait to hear more.
