- E.66- Social Consciousness of Past Generations
“It’s going to take all of us together to bring about change." -Elise Braverman-Plotkin
Welcome back to Dive Right In with Jackie and Hannah! This week, we welcome Elise Braverman-Plotkin, Hannah's mom who holds degrees in Talmud and Philosophy, to talk about the effect her generation (Gen X) has had on society and the lasting impact of Gen X's actions. We start the episode with an homage to Rev Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as we reflect on his legacies and think about powerful ways to participate in MLK Day this year. After our icebreaker question, we dive into our interview with Elise, touching on quintessential Gen X experiences, generational accomplishments, and generational shortcomings. With hope for the future, Elise also talks about our collective responsibility to take a stand and make a change.
Love,
Jackie and Hannah

1 hr 3 min - E.65- New Years Resolutions and 2021 in Review
"Each new year offers an exciting opportunity for a fresh start and new beginnings, while also giving us the opportunity to reflect on the past and remember all that happened the year prior." -Jackie and Hannah
This week, in honor of the start of 2022, we start by reflecting on our winter break and talking about the impact of the omicron surge on our lives. We also share some of our personal 2021 accomplishments before sharing some new years resolutions and goals for the coming year. Our listeners also submitted resolutions to be shared live on air! We then transition into the bulk of our episode talking about 2021 in review. We highlight various events, ranging from the January 6th insurrection, to the Surfside building collapse, to Jeff Bezos in space, and talk about the effects of these events on us. It was powerful getting to look back on the year and set intentions for the year to come. Happy New Year!
Love,
Jackie and Hannah

28 min - E.64- Gun Control and our Failed Education and Court Systems
"Gun control is only the first step. We need to start thinking critically about the ways in which our education and court systems are based on systemic racism and the ways they affect mass incarceration. Everything is related." -Jackie and Hannah
This week, we unpack the hot-button issue of gun control and talk about the importance of reforming our education and court systems! We skipped the ice breaker this week to pay homage to the victims of the Oxford Highschool Shooting. We unpack the events of the Michigan shooting and discuss the intersection of mental health and gun control. We also talked about the Kyle Rittenhouse trial and how the media responses have garnered Fame for Rittenhouse.

38 min - E.63- Abortion Access in a Polarized Era
"Placing a ban on abortion is only banning safe abortions done by a medical provider. We need to guard abortion to ensure that everyone has access to reproductive healthcare, regardless of gender, socioeconomic status, or place of residence." -Jackie and Hannah
This week, we unpack the hot-button issue of abortion and talk about the importance of reproductive healthcare for all people! After breaking the ice by talking about role models, we discuss about Roe v. Wade and the current supreme court hearings trying to place bans on people's healthcare choices, our personal opinions on abortion, and reasons why people may need an abortion. We also take a moment to debunk pro-life arguments and also take a look at Ohio and Texas restrictive abortion laws.
Love,
Jackie and Hannah

"While Thanksgiving is known to be a joyous holiday where we spend time with our loved ones and eat lots of food, it is also important to remember its history and how for many people this may be a very bittersweet or sad time." -Jackie and Hannah
This week we take some time to talk about the history of Thanksgiving as well as how we celebrate and what we are thankful for. We hope everyone has a good holiday and we will see you all next week!

23 min - E.61- Effects of the Pandemic: Social Differences
"There was a snowball effect where all these little things were going wrong leading up to the big tragedy, and I think this is partially fueled by the lack of social awareness society has post quarantine. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected." -Jackie and Hannah
This week, we unpack some of the ways the COVID-19 pandemic has affected society socially. We spend some time discussing the Astroworld tragedy and the ways in which we experience social and school interactions differently in this post quarantine age.Love,
Jackie and Hannah

21 min - E.60- Local Elections and Voter Suppression
"Many people don’t have the resources to inform themselves about the elections which can cause them to not vote or vote based off of an unimportant quality or misinformation. We need to limit voter suppression in any ways we can as it is harmful to our environment and doesn’t give us the most accurate or authentic voting results." -Hannah and Jackie
This week, we unpack some of the elections in New York City, New Jersey and Ohio that took place this past week. We also spend some time talking about forms of voter suppression and why it is so harmful to our country.
Love,
Jackie and Hannah

19 min - E. 58- Judaism, Disability, and Community with Malka Levanna
