Best Interviews

I have enjoyed this podcast more than most, and I’ve finally figured out why. Eddie is a phenomenal interviewer. He is funny and great to listen to in many places! But on this show particularly, he is AMAZING at prompting guests to tell their story and rarely interrupts or asks unnecessary questions. The short episodes are so jam packed with content and I love the guests every episode.

This is important

This podcast is so important. It has challenged me in areas I didn’t know I needed to be challenged and given me practical ways to grow into a better version of myself. It has given me perspectives that I do not hear of in my own life. It is important because I am not alone in the world, I cannot experience or even see every social justice issue. I have discovered avenues of justice that stir me to action. And although there have been some that don’t- just because an issue does not resonate deeply with me does not mean I should not be aware of it, because I am a part of the global community. And each person on this podcast has widened my worldview in a necessary way. Listening to this podcast is one of the most useful tools I’ve had to improve myself as a global citizen.
