Sourdough Modernity

StringFellow Hawke

Sourdough Modernity is what happens when two brothers one in the US and one in Mongolia skip the bread making craze and start baking up conversations. We talk to every day people (the kind you’ve never heard of, but should) whose kindness, empathy and generosity ripple far beyond their own lives. No celebrities, no click bait - just real humans proving that caring still matters. In a world where all of our peers either learn to make sourdough or start a podcast, we chose the podcast.

    SE01 EP37 - Beyond The Preventionist: The Reality of a Social Worker

    In this episode, I sit down with my brother, a longtime social worker who’s spent years on the ground in both Montana and Pennsylvania, to talk about The Preventionist, the newest podcast from Serial Productions—and why its themes hit so close to home for him. We dig into the realities of frontline social work, from crisis response to the day-to-day responsibilities of Youth and Protective Services. My brother offers an inside look at what the job really entails, what most people misunderstand, and why prevention work rarely gets the spotlight it deserves. We also break down Pennsylvania’s Chafee Program and the ongoing effort to grant social workers first-responder status in the state. It’s a conversation about power, policy, and the people who fall through the cracks when systems don’t work the way they should. Along the way, we raise a call to action: contact your state representatives and local officials to advocate for better funding, smarter policy, and a more humane support system—because no single doctor, agency, or authority should hold disproportionate power over a young person’s future. If you’ve ever wondered what social workers actually do, why prevention matters, or how to get involved in meaningful change, this episode opens the door. www.buymeacoffee.com/sourdoughmodernity Email us at: HCSdesignglobe@gmail.com P.S. - WE HAVE MERCH NOW! https://ky1pgh-dy.myshopify.com/
