In a special two-part celebration marking 100 episodes of the IE Podcast, Erin and Toral welcome back the show’s original creators and past cohosts Dr. Cornell Verdeja-Woodson (he/him/his), Sherron Brown (she/her/hers), and Anthony Sis (he/they). Together, they revisit the untold stories behind the podcast’s humble beginnings, the “scrappy” days with a single Yeti mic, and the community that transformed a single idea into one hundred episodes of meaningful conversation. Tune in to Part One to hear where they are now, how life and work have evolved since their time behind the mic, and what this milestone means to them as they reflect on how far the podcast has come — and the people who made it possible.
