I enjoyed Linda Babcock as the guest speaker. She shared interesting research about women volunteering more to do tasks that others typically don’t want to do. I also loved that Adam supports women’s career advancement and wants to see a systemic change. We can never have too many allies for marginalized groups.

I listen to both Worklife and Rethinking. However, I really love worklife and feel more meh about rethinking. I’m just not as into interview shows. The problem for me is that these podcast feeds both have episodes of both shows and they aren’t labeled by which show they’re actually from. Instead, they’re labeled by which feed they’re in, which is not helpful! I took one star off in hopes of some attention to this poor feed organization. It might seem dumb, but I listen to a ton of podcasts, so duplicate episodes that aren’t clearly labeled really irk me- they waste time I don’t have!
