If you're NOT listening to Congressional Dish and We're Not Wrong, add them to your podcast queue NOW while you're listening to this conversation with podcaster Jen Briney.
We're getting into the intricacies of Congress by differentiating between legislative processes and political punditry and emphasizing the need for deeper public understanding and media coverage beyond theatrics.
Our conversation spans topics from specific congressional hearings to the challenges of media sponsorship, the reality of political tribalism, and the importance of community action and self-care in today's political climate.

Tuesday 6/17/25 @ 3pm CT with Lisa Lackey "The Second Knowing™"
A Soul Circle for Women in the Quiet Middle of Everything
Created and facilitated by Lisa Lackey, MA, CSAT | Insideout Living, Inc.
The Second Knowing™ is the sacred wisdom that rises when the first story no longer satisfies.
You've already lived through the First Knowing: You became who you were told to be. You achieved. You survived. You built, carried, managed, and proved. And now… something in you whispers, "There's more."
The Second Knowing arrives when striving no longer serves. It is not a crisis—it is a threshold. It is a holy pause. It is your body, your longing, and your soul asking to be seen, in a different way. Not for what you bring, but for who you're becoming.
Wednesday 6/18/25 @ 3pm CT with Jen Briney "Congressional Dish"
Jen's long-running podcast Congressional Dish is how I learn everything school never taught me about how our government works (or doesn't.) And her voice is one of the only ones keeping me grounded during the present administration. Hot tip: Join her Green Room for This Week in Congress!
She's also part of a political commentary trio on We're Not Wrong... her co-hosts are good too, but Jen's still my favorite.
Thursday 6/19/25 @ 3pm CT with Wendy Parman & Sue Fink "50 Shades of Blue: The Resistance Sings"
Wendy Parman and Sue Fink present a most talented cast of singer-songwriters, folk artists, and cabaret performers in Chicago. We sing because we're 50 shades of blue. We sing because we're angry but hopeful, sad but resilient. We sing because we can, and because we must!
June 29 concert benefitting Democracy Forward, a national legal organization that advances democracy and social progress through litigation, policy and public education, and regulatory engagement. They DEFEND democracy, DISRUPT anti-democratic activity through legal action, and BUILD coalitions, creating a more democratic and just future through the law. Info & tickets: https://suefink.ticketspice.com/50sob
Thursday 6/26/25 @ 3pm CT with Monica Rivera "Be Seen. Be Heard. Lead with Impact"
Monica's signature framework, The Leadership Trifecta™, takes you from under-recognized to unforgettable.
✔ Personal Brand – Define what you stand for and how you want to be known. ✔ Thought Leadership – Share your perspective and ideas with clarity and confidence. ✔ Executive Presence – Lead the room with authority—online, on stage, and in meetings.

Have you ever had an experience of working with someone at the top of their game that pushes you, artistically (in a good way), to be and do more than you have in the past?
A project that streeeetches your skills in a way that is at times uncomfortable and exhausting, but in the end you see (or in this case hear) what you've created and say, "Wow! That really is good."?
And then suddenly, you find yourself in new rooms, having new conversations, with new people, about even more inspiring topics?
Okay… well if you haven't yet had that experience, go ahead and live vicariously through me for the next hour and maybe you'll get a taste of what I mean.
Let me introduce you to the Del Sol Quartet, currently composed of Charlton Lee on viola, Hyeyung Sol Yoon and Ben Keith on violins, and Kathryn Bates on cello.
And if you've been paying attention, you may know that I've been having the pleasure to collaborate with Del Sol on the first season of their podcast Sounds Current, which was a 2024 official selection at the Tribeca Audio Storytelling Festival and won a Sold Signal Award for Artists & Designers Shaping Culture.
But awards aside…
This episode isn't just about creating a podcast, though we do talk a little bit about Sounds Current in the second half. It's about the joys and tension of being part of a group of artists (rather than a solo creator), pushing yourself to do something new in order to move society, and making art that means something valuable even when, and especially if, it doesn't make sense economically.

There are some shows, some podcasters, who embody the spark that first drew me to podcasting's flame in the depths of entrepreneurial burnout.
Becky Kilmnick and Diana Doty of Homespun Haints are those podcasters.
Over the years, they have become masters in the craft of independent digital storytelling and community building through their horror comedy podcast of true ghost stories.
Ever the experimental entrepreneurs, Becky and Diana have recently launched a NEW project for the indie business minded creative searching for a better path. And no, this one isn't haunted… probably.
Podcasting, paranormal investigations, entrepreneurial success (and failure), cats in space… all this and more lie ahead should you choose to continue down this road.

YOUR VOICE...
What do you use if for? Have you ever thought of it like an instrument? Do you consider yourself to be a voice professional? Do you feel confident in your voice? Do you even LIKE the sound of it?
Well… if you speak, perform, podcast, teach, lead meetings, create content for YouTube or other social media channels, you ARE probably a voice professional and your voice is an invaluable asset. Or at least it CAN be with a little guidance.
And that's a pursuit worthwhile to both Mary Chan and me. And it's what we are exploring in the first half of this episode.
Mary is a Podcast Strategist, Voice Coach, & Voice-Over Artist. She launches and edits podcasts for business professionals. She's the founder of Organized Sound Productions, and producer and host of The Podcaster's Guide to a Visible Voice.
Mary and I are also sharing: insights on whether your current voice is authentically yours (why or why not), the intangible benefits of podcasting, whether podcasts need to be video, the challenging parts of entrepreneurship (ahem… sales), and she'll even give you a quick guide to writing love notes to YOUR voice.

Have you ever heard someone tell you, "You have to show your work!" If that brings you back to high school math class... SAME.
Well this episode isn't about math, unless you count "podcast value math!"
Megan Dougherty is show the work for me on what I've known for a while but couldn't quite put into words... there is NOT one podcast strategy to rule them all! In fact, she wrote the book on it. And I can't stop talking about it.
Now whether you're a podcaster, a creative business owner, a content marketer... really anyone putting your creative work out into the world through media, this conversation is for you. What it comes down to? How do you know if what you're doing is working and what does "working" even mean? (Hint: It's not about the downloads!)
Podcasting, writing a book, getting comfortable with discomfort, and navigating existential crises... all with DATA on your side! Here we go...
LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!
Email me [email protected]. Let me know who you are, how you're connected to podcasting (fan, creator, dreaming of being a creator, etc.) and your thoughts around monetization, purpose, changes in the industry, etc. And if you REALLY want to get my attention, how has data influenced your creative business or podcast?
