Driven to Drink

05. Our First Inclusion Excursion


Listen Later

On today’s episode (...is it five?  No, six.  Wait, four.  Five.  Final answer…) of the d2dpod, Greg sleeps like a dead person while stroking his beard, Jen’s phone (and the “OK Google” function) need a hearing aid and possibly an IEP after having been tossed down the steps...and the results are hilarious, a J.K. Rowling acolyte messes with men on okcupid, and Jen and Greg discuss inclusion.  Beautiful, wonderful, amazing examples of inclusion right in our back yards.  Enjoy!

(Greg’s note: There is a point in the episode where it appears that I perhaps outed an individual.  I ended up stumbling on the word, “lesbian” not because of any discomfort with the word, or lesbians, but rather because I needed to make an instantaneous decision.  I felt the person was publicly out, but I hesitated in the moment.  “Maybe she’s not,” I thought just before the word came out.  Ultimately, I would not release the episode if this were the case.  I sound phenomenally uncomfortable saying it, and that’s why.  We used fictional names, but any person with intimate knowledge of my professional endeavors and Pittsburgh could put two and two together.  It turns out that the person who I inadvertently outed IS quite out in many ways and thus I most assuredly did NOT out her.  This made me exceptionally happy because I think this podcast came closest to my idealization of what “driven 2 drink” would be...an honest, at times serious and unfiltered discussion about inclusion and diversity with a healthy dose of liquor and laughter.)
