Every few years I like to record episodes in December about Advent. Advent is a special time of year for me because it leads up to Christmas and the New Year.

This year I decided to ask people questions about the themes of Advent. Today’s question is: What gives you hope? Listen in to hear what friends and family had to say.

Watching podcasters from around the world respond and react to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II got me thinking about how much podcasting is U.S.-centric.
