This season we are starting with a bang with four guests from all over the United States to talk salary in the media industry. This episode we get into bad past salary experiences, how to approach a raise and what tools to use to get a salary estimate for your industry and area.

That is right ladies and gentlemen, we are back! The Speak Easy may be a little different now, but we are so excited to jump in with some great new content and a brand new look! This week we are talking about everything from celebrity gossip *obviously*, what’s happening in the Middle East and insane weather. Pour yourself a drink to play along. CHEERS!

On this episode of Think or Sink, we’re touching on International News, Politics and, of course, Pop Culture. We’re also wrapping up season 2 with a tearful goodbye from one of our cohosts, Regan. So tune in, grab a drink and get informed with this special episode! It’s been a fun season, and there’s more to come soon! Cheers.

We sat down with Boukary Sawadogo, Ph.D, and Stephen Graves, Ph.D, to talk about Juneteenth -- how it started, how it’s honored and its context in today’s racial awakening in America. Hours before we recorded this episode, we learned that the senate passed #S475, making Juneteenth one step closer to becoming a federal holiday, and it brought up the question: What’s next? How do we maintain optimism, while moving away from performative activism, and tackling systemic racism head-on? Grab a drink and tune in to this powerful episode to learn all that and more from our knowledgeable guests.
