    We live in such a fractured society, that only seems to be getting more so. Research shows that the way people change their minds about ideas and the way they shift their worldview to include others is through stories and relationships - not shame or statistics. In service to that idea, we run a series on YouTube called 'Welcome to My World'. It's an interview show where Dr. Kristen gets to talk to fascinating folks from all walks of life twice a week about something in their lives the rest of us should know more about. She's chatted about Japanese gaming culture, the universal law of attraction, what it means to be a ghostwriter, and more. Find the series on our youtube channel. We'll see you there.

    Today's podcast is brought to you by one of my favorite Pittsburgh organizations 412 Food Rescue.

Volunteers download the app, rescue food that is potential waste, and deliver it to non-profits helping the food insecure. It's genius, it's generous, and both The Good Doctors are big fans. Learn more about their work at 412foodrescue.org or if you're listening in the Pittsburgh region download the app to become a Food Rescue Hero today!

    Named for Harriett Tubman, Harriet's Bookshop in Philadelphia celebrates women authors, women artists, and women activists. I found them in the COVID times, and so first began to shop from them online. The selection is great and the service is excellent, and by buying from them, you're supporting an independent, black-owned shop. Also, their curated lists on Bookshop dot com are just the best. Find them at harriettsbookshop.com.

They are handcrafted, well-made frames with a wide selection of colors and treatments. If you're after high-quality, distinct frames for that one-of-a-kind gift, look no further friends.

Hosted by Matika Wilbur (from the Swinomish and Tulalip peoples of coastal Washington) and Adrienne Keene (a citizen of Cherokee Nation) - each episode explores a different topic facing Native peoples today. I love this show, I've learned so much - I laugh, I cry, I tell all my friends about it - including you lovely listeners.

    Did you know that there are only three countries in the world that weren't colonized by a European entity at some point in their history? We didn't either, but it got us thinking about how important the legacy of colonization must be on all the others and we launched our Colonizer's World Tour in 2021 to investigate further. Each week, we look at a different country, the legacy of colonization within it, and what that place can teach the rest of us about empathy and inclusivity. Join us as we travel the world via YouTube videos, academic research, and artistic output. Head to our YouTube channel to get some stamps in your intellectual passport.
