In this week's episode I sat down with V Spehar. V is a TikToker, podcast host, and political advocate. On their TikTok channel, Under The Desk News, V gives a brief, in-depth recap of each day’s most notable headlines. On their podcast V Interesting with V Spehar they highlight the most interesting part of stories that often get lost in the news cycle and explore the complex Big Issues that matter most. We discuss how they started their account and their approach to reporting the news, why it is so necessary to amplify voices and stories that are not often heard in the mainstream news media, the importance in understanding the lesser known ways in which current events such as the recent Supreme Court decisions and newly passed legislation are impacting marginalized communities, and much, much more.

Dacey Triplett On A Week Of Normalcy and Friendship
In this week's episode I sat down with Dacey Triplett. Dacey is a little person, blogger, and one of my new best friends that I made at LPA’s National Conference in Austin. We discuss finding and creating our circle of friends (and why these friendships are so special), the highlights of conference from DAAA, pool days, dances at night and every moment in between, what it means when we say that being at conference is a week of normalcy and much, much, much more.

Emily Hanks On Project Runway And Disability...Or Lack Thereof
In this episode I sat down with Emily Hanks. Emily is a content creator and host of the podcasts She Speaks Bravo, where she talks about all things Bravo from Housewives to Vanderpump Rules and everything in between, and She Speaks It All, where she talks about great television from other networks. This conversation was a fun one centered around one of our favorite shows Project Runway, now in its All Star Season. We discuss the evolution of the show from Season one to now, our thoughts on Season 20 so far, how the show has progressed in regards to diversity of models and clientele, and the fact that it still has quite a ways to go in regards to disability representation and advocate for change. And we tried our best, but there will be spoilers.
