How did the idea for the show come about?

After a decade of being a print and digital journalist, my followers were interested in me hitting the mic and speaking on the pressing topics that mattered to me the most.

What do you hope listeners take from the show?

That there's nuance, diversity, and analysis worthy to consider for every hot-button news topic.

What's been the biggest challenge for you?

Choosing which topic gets my focus for the week. There's so many interesting things that happen in the world, but so little time. Being the executive producer and host of this show means I have to curate what I personally believe is priority.

How can your listeners support your show?

By first listening, but then spreading the word to others -- and leaving a great review doesn't hurt either.

Any future plans that you'd like to share?

Anything is possible -- guests can look forward to surprise interviews, special edition episodes, and more great coverage on the issues shaping our society.
