Identity: Listening List
This month’s theme is IDENTITY. I’m going to be honest here…I did not think the theme through enough before I asked for recommendations. Identity is such a broad concept, and I received so many great podcast recommendations. I quickly realized that it was going to be impossible to pick 3 episodes that touch on all […]
Happy Birthday, America!
In honor of the 4th of July, we’re going with a “Happy Birthday, America” theme. I also decided to write a short love/hate birthday letter to my country.

Mental Illness: Listening List
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), 50% of all lifetime cases of mental illness begin by age 14 and 75% by age 24. This gives a whole new meaning to the term “March Madness” that is about to sweep college campuses. So, we’re going take a different angle on that term and talk […]

With Thanksgiving around the corner, we thought we’d explore a Thanksgiving/gratefulness theme. Stuff to Blow Your Mind: Surviving Thanksgiving. You may not be the turkey on the […]
