Release Day Review: Degrees
The second episode, though? This is the heart of the podcast. A real story of how someone can use the skills they have in one place, like say HVAC systems, and use it to eventually spearhead a movement.

I appreciate you so much and I’m brainstorming what more exciting things I can bring to the table for all of us.
Review: Archetypes
This podcast is designed to feel like a lazy river ride. It has a direction, it’s just not necessarily in a big rush to get you there. Relax, and take the time to just listen.
Series Highlight: The Katrina Episodes from Disasterous History
This is a great example of one of those podcasts everyone should give a chance because they tend to be some of the best podcasts full of passion and heart. Give Disastrous History a try, even if it’s not the Katrina episodes. You’ll see what I mean.
Episode Highlight: Human Rights Be Damned, from Immigrantly
Even without a profound understanding of what’s happening: It is an easy episode to follow, but the big ideas make it a podcast you have to focus on.
Series Review: Abortion: The Body Politic
This is not just a spectacularly produced podcast in tone and quality - but each episode flows with grace and an especially committed passion.
Release Day Review: Missing Pages
In some ways a true crime “who done it”, we are taken on a familiar feeling path where a case is built and defense is made. This is an easy story to follow, tying in some current events for a full understanding of the elite world we are talking about.
Episode Highlight: Sound of Our Town
Equal parts travel guide and spoken word poem, Sound of Our Town takes listeners on a bird’s eye tour of a city each week. Through the veins of the music each locale has cultivated, we are taken from the hole-in-the-wall bar to the stadiums, and given a tiny bit of history along the way.
Review: Appodlachia
This podcast needs to exist for those who live there, as well as for those outside of it. It can cross boundaries we’ve let ourselves build.
The Monthly Magpie: July 2022
To get me back into the writing mode and to highlight the beautiful country I spent a week in I decided to do Seven Reviews in Seven Days.
Episode Highlight: Ireland's Shame: The Death of Sativa Halappanaver
We are led through the tragedy with kindness and care, yet there is an obvious underpinning of rage. Not only was this enraging for the immigrant community, but also for Ireland as a nation.
Review: The Irish Music Stories Podcast
The episodes are underscored beautifully, melodies are sung right next to being played, and overall this is a pleasant podcast to listen to.
