Host, Chelsea Bauer, has a brain that runs 100mph and is always trying to find peace and quiet, like the sound of crickets.

A healthy mix of solo episodes and guest spots, this podcast should feel like a conversation over a cinnamon dolce latte (or a glass of cabernet).

    E-D-U-C-A-T-E, Find Out What It Means to Me feat. Devon McGee and Joe Wright

    I wanted to learn about education, so I brought in the professionals! We dig into all things higher education, from tuition costs to diversity/equity/inclusion initiatives to for-profit schools, and so many more things in between. TW: For a portion of the episode, we discuss mass shootings/acts of mass violence, public safety concerns on school campuses, and sexual assault. These are not easy things for anyone to talk about or listen to, but if it is especially difficult for you to listen to those topics, please note that this portion of the discussion begins at the 00:52 mark.

    Still Waiting for My Grammy...feat. Steve Mekler

    One of my oldest friends, who has been a staple in the Nashville music scene for years, joined me to discuss all things music. Interested in the creative process of writing, producing, performing? We gotcha. Interested in the management and creative direction side of things? We gotcha. Interested in how huge country music landmarks, like the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Academy of Country Music, evolved during the COVID pandemic? We gotcha. Interested in the shifting culture within country music to become more inclusive? We gotcha. There is something for everyone!

    Speaking Up for Wild Species and Wild Places feat. Tim Gestwicki

    Tim Gestwicki, the CEO of the North Carolina Wildlife Federation, sat down with me to discuss the importance of pollinators, problems with habitat loss/destruction, human-wildlife conflict, and the importance of protecting endangered species. Tim said it best: "We just happen to be the ones who speak for those who have no voice, which are the wildlife species and the wild places." For more information, visit https://ncwf.org/.

    You hear it all the time - "We're in a plastics crisis." But what does it mean? How do we fix it? Why does it seem so hard to make a difference? My fellow World Wildlife Fund Panda Ambassador, Jaimi McPeek, answers all of these questions and more as we dive deep into the problems with plastic waste and microplastics, how to become expert recyclers, and what kinds of companies and industries are making the right moves.

    Episode 25: Eating Local + Farmers Markets feat. Sam DeRosa

    If I could have dreamt up my ideal podcast episode topic, it would have been this one - the benefits and logistics of farmers markets, eating local, supporting sustainable local agriculture, preventing food waste...I could go on and on. My guest, Sam DeRosa, works with Farmers Market Management Services and the North Carolina Farmers Market Network to create, maintain, and support several local farmers markets that greatly benefit the Charlotte community. She is a wealth of information, and I definitely feel reenergized and inspired to eat clean, eat local, and shop farmers markets. Hope you enjoy this one as much as I did!
