  • Great podcast but the first five minutes are all advertising

    I want to appreciate that hosting a podcast comes with expenses, but I just spent five minutes listening to advertising before getting to any content at which point I no longer really wanted to listen to the podcast. I suppose I don’t understand doing a podcast this way? Why not spread the advertising out throughout.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 747: Christopher Castellani
Q: What led you to writing and storytelling originally?
A fifth-grade writer who visited the classroom and performed poems sparked Castellani's lifelong fascination with writing, leading him to start composing poems and stories that became his early audience.
Friday Morning Coffee: David Glasgow
Q: What practical steps can organizations take to level the playing field without running afoul of legal constraints?
Listeners are pointed to practical measures like structured hiring, bias-reducing evaluation systems, and evaluation criteria that minimize personal affinity, as well as a focus on leveling rather than lifting to remain compliant while advancing equity.
Friday Morning Coffee: David Glasgow
Q: What are the four tenets of the project of equality and why were they chosen?
They identified four core tenets: equality as a birthright; equality as both material and dignitary; equality as an unrealized promise for many groups; and the need for organizations to take affirmative steps beyond rules to realize equality; these tenets were chosen to frame a comprehensive, defendable stance against critics who oppose various aspects of equality work.
Friday Morning Coffee: David Glasgow
Q: How did you and Kenji meet and come to collaborate on this book?
David explains their long-standing collaboration that began when he was Kenji's student at NYU, leading to joint projects and eventually the Meltzer Center partnership, shaping their joint approach to DEI and equality.
Episode 745: Jazmine Ulloa
Q: Did your writing process for this book change from your day job, or did you simply gain a freer voice?
She says the writing process felt more natural and lyrical, allowing her to bringNotebook details and voice back into the narrative, beyond the stricter daily reporting style.
