From Bad to Worse: COVID’s Toll on a Top Child Care Center
We are excited to share another Lemonada Media show you will love. It's called No One Is Coming to Save Us and it tackles the American child care crisis. No One Is Coming to Save Us has new episodes out every Thursday.
Gloria is back and ready to tackle America’s child care crisis head-on. To kick off season 2, she calls up Lauren Cook, CEO of Ellis Early Learning in Boston. We met Lauren back in season 1, where she walked us through the nitty gritty of how much it costs to operate a child care center. This time around, Lauren tears up as she talks about how nationwide labor shortages are reverberating through the child care system, what she has to do to keep the lights on at Ellis, and how the ongoing pandemic has made a bad situation continue to get worse.

Listen to This: After 1954
Our team wanted to share with you a preview of another Lemonada Media series that they know you’ll want to tune in for. The 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown vs. Board of Education paved the way for racial integration in public schools. But there's an unspoken consequence of this historic moment. Estimates show 38 thousand Black teachers were fired throughout the integration. This means, the number of Black educators in our public schools dramatically decreased during this time. And that number has never gone back up. This has left a huge void in our public schools. That’s why it’s so important we uplift Black leaders working in education today. After 1954, a new podcast from Lemonada Media hosted by Aimée Eubanks Davis, is out now wherever you get your podcasts.

As Kulap Vilaysack (Listen Again)
Kulap Vilaysack has recently been busy recording a Lemonada Media podcast of her own, alongside veteran journalist SuChin Pak. Their Webby award-winning show, Add to Cart, is all about the things they buy and buy into and what it says about who they are. In celebration of their recent award and Apple Spotlight feature, we wanted to re-air Sinéad's conversation with Kulap about the nuances of Asian American identity, her own Origin Story, and what it means to be a “good dude” in Hollywood today. You can listen to Add to Cart wherever you get your podcasts.

Series Finale: As Judy Heumann
In Sinéad’s last episode of As Me with Sinéad, she interviews lifelong disability rights activist Judy Heumann. Judy is known for her work fighting the New York Board of Education and organizing sit-ins in 1977 fighting for legislation that ultimately led to the Americans with Disabilities Act. Judy’s activism was highlighted in Netflix’s, Crip Camp, which was just nominated for an Oscar. As International Women’s Month comes to a close, here are two extraordinary women who have fought for increased accessibility and visibility of disabled folks across the globe.

As Dan Levy (Listen Again)
With five Golden Globe nominations to Schitt's Creek, including best supporting actor, we wanted to resurface Sinéad's conversation with writer and actor Dan Levy. He talks about his personal and professional evolution alongside his character, David Rose. Sinéad and Dan explore his Leo tendencies and the deliberate ways in which the Schitt’s Creek writing team presented small-town America, gay love, and the first pansexual character on mainstream TV.

Ruth Rocks
I’ve tweeted you about this but I think Ruth is just so cool and unbelievably talented. As a disabled man I love seeing people like yourself and Ruth doing amazing things.
Great podcast
The conversations flow really well. Great to have such a variety of people to listen to from Victoria Beckham to Riz Ahmed. Fabulous open and real conversations from the guests about their lives.
Listen to this podcast if you want to be a better person:)
The most inspiring and enlightening podcast I’ve ever listened to. Even when interviewing household names who never leave media spotlight, Sinéad manages to somehow draw something entirely new, personal and vulnerable from them. Each conversation genuinely leaves me feeling enlightened and educated, and I try to take some of it with me in my own day to day then after. It’s a weekly dose of something entirely unique and inspiring. I couldn’t recommend it enough. Go Sinéad.
