    Imagined Life Family | The Racer

    Life moves slow in your sleepy little hometown. You long to escape to someplace else, where life is fast, exciting, maybe even a little dangerous. 

    It’s a place that only exists in your imagination. But someday, you’re going to bring it to life.

    Hosted by Robbie Daymond.

    You’ve always been wiser than your years, but not everyone is ready to let you grow up. You’d rather be watching scary movies than playing dress-up. 

    They might not be listening now, but they’re going to hear your voice soon enough.

    You love asking questions wherever you go, especially “why.” Why is the world the way that it is? Why doesn’t everyone get along? Why can’t we all just be better people? 

    All those questions lead you to a career you never expected on the silver screen. But in order to live up to your potential, you’ll have to find the honesty, generosity, and bravery that lives deep inside you.

    Hosted by Ace Anderson.

    You like to test your limits and live life on the edge. That doesn’t always sit well with your mom, who just wants you to be safe and to keep your feet firmly planted on the ground.

    But safety is the exact opposite of what you need. For you, the sky’s the only limit.

    You dream of traveling through space and exploring the vast reaches of the solar system. Because in space, you don’t have to explain yourself. You get to explore the questions you want to ask.

    But if you want to solve the mysteries of the universe, you’re going to have to learn to focus.

    You’re always on the move. Not just moving from town to town — with your siblings and your foster parents — but moving your feet, your arms, and your hands. You love to feel your body in motion. But the way that you move isn’t always understood by grown-ups who think they know better.

    In order to fulfill your destiny, you have to follow your heart.

    Hosted by Cree Summer.

I Miss This Podcast

Is it ever coming back? I miss this so much!

writy writer ,

I don’t know why

Why did you make it so we can’t listen to any episodes? I loved this podcast so much. It gave me inspiration ( especially the one about Lin Manuel Miranda ) now I have to pay a lot of money. This doesn’t seem fair but I would like to understand, why the change? Also, why did you start sharing worse stories, stories that targeted people?

sayitaintso!! ,

Sad

I had not listened to the pod cast for a while. I come back and hear race baiting stories intentionally targeted to further divide us.
