    Listen Now: The Deep Dive

    Listen Now: The Deep Dive

    We’re dropping into your feed this week to share another Lemonada Media series with you. Each week on The Deep Dive, comedians and best friends Jessica St. Clair and June Diane Raphael take a ‘deep dive’ into their real lives and discuss a wide range of topics including how to pursue joy amidst the insanity of motherhood and family, grief and loss, sh*t they put on their faces, and why they refuse to check their voicemails or unpack their suitcases. The Deep Dive captures the friendship of two women trying to survive adult womanhood

    June and Jessica are abuzz with change as they make a big announcement! To catch up their new listeners, they harken back to the early 00's when they met at the UCB and Jessica had a fondness for capris pants and June was as bald as an eagle. June makes the shocking announcement that she is now a woman who wears BELTS and Jessica asks the question, is the age of her ass the same as the age of her face? Remember Deep Divers, don't be afraid to see what's on the menu!

    From Bad to Worse: COVID’s Toll on a Top Child Care Center

    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

    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.

    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.

Personal, Funny, Caring

Sinéad! Multiple times during this podcast I have thought to myself, “Sinéad might be one of the best interviewers of her generation.” Your questions cut to the core when it comes to topics like identity, success, self-love, and authenticity. Your voice pours out love and concern for those around you, as well as those beyond your scope. Thank you for this podcast!
