Oh, It Matters. Podcast

Who are you?? Does your story matter? What’s the meaning of life??? I’m Annie Hodges, and unfortunately, I don’t know the answers to any of those questions. But one thing I DO know is that meaningful, intentional discussion with real live people is one of the best ways to try and figure out those answers. Conversation is an art worth pursuing, and we’re going to use it for good on this podcast. On “Oh, It Matters”, I’ll convince you that your story DOES matter by interviewing guests on topics that matter to them and to me. Realistically, this podcast is 80% life conversations, 10% Marvel commentary, and 10% tomfoolery. You’ve been warned.

    OIM - Ep. 029 - You Have to Look for the Good Stuff

    Coronavirus Series, Part IV: COMMUNITY. THE LAST COVID EPISODE!! Finally. Thanks for letting me drag this series out for over a year now. On this episode, Steve Greer is here to take us home. In the first half of the episode (recorded in March), my dad boldly claims that covid will have a larger historical impact than 9/11, and I stupidly ignore him. We discuss house-flipping during a pandemic, letting fear play a role in our decision-making, weathering hard times, election anticipation, and the ups and downs of learning to live with his adult children again. And we end the whole thing with the inspirational dad pep talk that we all need to hear for 2021.

    OIM - Ep. 027 - A Crash Course in Releasing Control

    Today, I get a social person’s perspective on the inner battle that has occurred over the course of this year of isolation and solitude. My friend Sarah Burger and I talk about the power of ego in our lives, the “why” behind our mechanisms of control, where we are finding our joy, and the restorative power of walks. We debate whether we’ll be in a sweaty crowd ever again, and we obsess over our love for the liturgical calendar and the rhythm it brings into our lives.

    OIM - Ep. 026 - Riding the Waves

    In the last mental health episode of the series, we get very vulnerable. Specifically, my sister Kate Greer gets very vulnerable. We discuss body image, attaching your identity to your goals, the anxiety surrounding her post-grad future, and the ups and downs of navigating uncertainty. At the end of the episode, we check in with Kate four months later to see how her coronavirus story has unfolded this year.

    OIM - Ep. 025 - It's Not Always Sunshine

    Coronavirus Series, Part III: MENTAL HEALTH. Carly Sullins is a ray of sunshine. Ever since I met her, she has inspired me to choose joy on a daily basis. But what happens when the sunshine runs out? In today’s episode, I have two conversations with Carly, each 5 months apart, discussing the ups and downs of “maintaining the sunshine”. We discuss our sine and cosine theory of mental health, our blindly ambitious coronavirus goals, and the importance of puzzles.

    OIM - Ep. 024 - Complaining Won't Get My Job Back

    After a brief (read: long) hiatus, the coronavirus series is back. Each episode remaining in this series will include a flashback conversation and a present day conversation on how coronavirus has changed my guests over time. This episode kicks off our third “theme” of the series, which is mental health. Haven Wahl filed for unemployment at 23, something she never could have imagined. We talk about how her unemployment affected her mental health, whether or not having extra time on your hands can help or hurt your mentality, and what coronavirus has taught us about jeans.

    OIM - Ep. 023 - On Racism, Part 2: The Power of Understanding

    This is Part 2 of my conversation on racism with my friend, Jeremiah Ross. In this episode, we start by discussing confronting people at work over racist comments, and whether or not it’s a Black person’s job to educate their co-workers. I also ask Jeremiah some uncomfortable questions that many white people have: Is it “Black” or “African American”? Why can’t I say “All Lives Matter”? Jeremiah also gives a moving speech on “Black Panther” and the movie’s significance. Get out the tissues, because there are some tears in this one.

    OIM - Ep. 022 - On Racism, Part 1: Oh, Black Lives Matter.

    My friend Jeremiah Ross is here today to talk about racism. OIM is a podcast all about conversations, and this is a conversation, no matter how uncomfortable at times, that needs to be had. We dive right into it by talking about the N word, how assumptions about his race made Jeremiah question his own identity, his interactions with police as a black man, and how small things really can be big things. I hope that you will have similar conversations with your own friends and family, but also I hope that you can learn, as I did, through my conversation with Jeremiah.
