  • Ep. 42: Everything that Glitters Ain't Gold
    Leah is joined by Baylor the Great and Mic Perkins to discuss being true to self as they navigate the world around them and grow as individuals. Between Takkashi69, Derrick Jaxon, Kevin Samuels, and anyone with a blue checkmark on social media, it can be hard to see how one's life circumstances can measure up to actually being enjoyable. However, there's no need for the validation of others to enjoy what you've got.

  • Ep. 37: Protect Your Culture
    This week Leah is joined by the lads at Awfully Irish Podcast, Tom and Ger. It was a great conversation about the preservation and protection of culture in today's climate of assimilation. Over the years, there's been a sharp decline in the number of people who are fluent in Irish Gaelic and those who are monolingual in the language. This is concerning because language is a significant part of culture.
