Have You Heard?

“Listening is about being present, not just about being quiet.”

~ Krista Tippett, On Being podcast host

Are you a podcast listener? I am! Today I wanted to share some links to some great podcasts.

I love podcasts. They vary wildly and I get so much out of them. I currently have 71 podcasts (the shows, not the episodes!) saved in my podcast app!

Some are story-based, like The Moth or StoryCorps or Modern Love. Some are interest focused, like all the grief podcasts that have taught me so much and the creativity podcasts that inspire me. Some are politics, culture or current events based, like The American Life and the New Yorker Radio Hour.

If you have interests you can find podcasts about them. Find a podcast streaming service like Apple Podcasts or Podbean and search for your interests. (Mine are creativity, small business entrepreneurship, and interviews with interesting people. Mary's are true crime, cults, and history, specifically the Holocaust.) You can listen on your phone or your computer.

I've also absolutely LOVED being a guest on podcasts! I've talked about my work, my coming out story, grief, creativity, art supplies, my love story with Mary, and recently, the year I lived in Florence, Italy and how that changed my life (and the lives of my mom and my brother).

If you're interested, I have a page of links on my website.

Or, below are just a handful of my favorite interviews. Click a link and enjoy!
