Milo Talks

No names given as friends open up and share some of their worst hurts. Discovering how we might respond differently with age. 

I discuss with two parents and a teacher the difficulty of home schooling or distant learning. Making time for your kids, while working, attempting to learn the material in order to help your children and the new way of communicating with students, parents and teachers.

Interview with two of my friends who are still recovering from the effects of Covid-19. As cities begin to reopen, my hope is that people will take the necessary precautions to protect themselves from getting this virus. 

We say "privilege" and many people get immediately defensive. In this group discussion, different aspects of privilege are looked at in the hope of shining a light, not casting blame.  

Another look into why programs like Tiger King do not do us any good. If people really want to make a difference, there are programs out there helping to keep our Wildlife safely WILD. Speaking with Stacy James co-counder of a non profit www.DazzleAfrica.org 

Light hearted discussion about the Toilet Paper crisis along with some frustrations that one of my friends is feeling about Walmart. 

During this time of uncertainty, it was nice to chat with an 8 year old as she shared her stories with me. 

I invited a friend of my cousin's into my van for a conversation about her life. I had no expectations or any real direction, but felt definitely uplifted after our chat. Meet Kathy:

My coworkers, Kevin and Hannah, work on the road with me. As field technicians, we are called road warriors being that we work in a new location with every project. We are not really warriors at all, more like goof balls that try to make the most of every experience and every place we go.

The music in the front and end of the podcast was created by my cousin Azariah Severance! So proud to have original music. 

Mark and Hannah found each other by doing what they felt compelled to do, and now together, they continue to offer humanitarian aid when called on. Find out more about the organization that brought them together and that does so much for people on this globe : www.samaritanspurse.org and www.hssm.org. If you are looking for a purpose, perhaps this would be a good place to start. 

The couple also have personal blogs : Mark's can be found at musingsandmiscellaniesohmy.blogspot.com
