Who am I?
I am making a podcast on accepting failure and I wanted to show my listeners what has inspired me! <3 I totally lost my marbles, failed down the rabbit hole, and wanted to use my story as a reminder to myself and others that everyone fails sometimes.
My Show
What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?
My podcast is about talking about failure—be it my failures, failures of others, or failures within society.
What is my podcast playlist about?
Part of my focus is having difficult conversations and I wanted to show some podcasts that also talk about hard things. I also have learned to embrace failure by getting comfortable with the uncomfortable—an idea that all of these shows explore.

5. Sold a Story
Why this podcast?
I love this story about the building blocks of having a conversation—learning how to read. Much of our communication is done online and through texts so being a good reader is key to forming bonds and getting out your feelings.

Millions of kids can't read well. Scientists have known for decades how children learn to read, but many schools don’t know about the research. They buy teacher training and books that are rooted in a disproven idea. In Sold a Story, Emily Hanford investigates four authors and a publishing company that have made millions selling this idea.
