SOSO

Here's a recent episode of one of my favorite podcasts, Correct Opinions With Trey Kennedy from Studio 71. You can find Correct Opinions on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

Over this Fourth Of July weekend with the upcoming Presidential Election in November, my parents reflect on politics over pizza. Discussing the flag, Jesus, past mistakes, "good" people, and a kid falling into a lake, take a break from the usual shouting matches of news anchors... For a moment.

With two days until the day of the fathers, I sit down and chat with my own father, Steve Orban! We answer some of the burning questions you've always wanted to ask a dad from Instagram, as well as talk about dad jokes, chili, adoption, and sterilization. Also, be sure to listen to the end for a special Father's Day surprise!

While unrelated to current events yet somewhat related to the weather, body positivity's seeming to look like a bigger struggle. With the country starting to open back up and temperatures starting to heat up, the layers we all used to bundle up are starting to shed. I talk with UK fashion blogger Eva Grist on improving your body image and staying body positive in this year's emerging bikini season.

With a lot of people surging to social media (especially for the past few months), many have taken a good hard look at their relationships, specifically, friendships. You can unfriend online, but how do you just unfriend someone in real life? I Interview two people, Maddie and Aisha, who I met a few years ago to get down to the bottom of this perilous predicament.

With two days until the day of the mothers, I sit down and chat with my own mother, Stacie Orban! We answer some of the burning questions you've always wanted to ask a mom from Instagram, as well as emails, painting, baking, and pizza. Also, be sure to listen to the end for a special Mother's Day surprise!

Fear of missing out. But with everyone in quarantine, how can this happen? I'll be sharing some of my thoughts and weird dreams relating to this, as well as doing an in-depth analysis of the most recent Instagram posts of girls I compare myself to that I used to know.

Nationality, disability, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, and many more... Marginalization can oftentimes intersect in an individual or group, which is where we get the concept of Intersectionality.  We'll be exploring what it means to be intersectional with specials guest writer, speaker, and artist Christina Holmans (aka Neurodivergent Rebel), as well as R&B/pop/funk songwriter Jenni Rudolph.

In these corona times, one Autistic can only look forward... Specifically, at the approaching Autism Awareness Day on April 2nd. Get to hear from neurodiverse Julian and his experiences with neurodiversity, as well as other neurodivergents in the Instagram comment section of a giveaway for the highly anticipated book (at least in our community) Divergent Minds: Thriving In A World That Wasn't Designed For You written by Jenara Nerenberg.

Many schools have closed down across the country due to the coronavirus, and just yesterday Ohio's Governor Mike DeWine has announced that all Ohio schools will have a three-week spring break until April 3rd when he hopes public health officials will get this COVID-19 matter settled. A few weeks prior to this mandate, my peers and I had to give informative speeches for a public speaking unit in our executive functions/life skills class (aka TASK). Since I just started out podcasting this January, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to share my current knowledge and experience about the topic with the people I see five days a week; I have bittersweet relations with all of them, but hopefully, they'll find this episode interesting because everything else interesting is under lockdown...
