If men can’t listen to...

Sometimes I write for myself, and sometimes I feel like doing something with it.  I'm not sure what this should be yet, so I'm making it a mini-episode.

If men can't listen to women, maybe they can listen to a man talking with someone who's not his lawyer not giving legal advice.  Cari started Lotus Legal to practice human centered law defending people against the power of the state. We talk about her journey into law that started in philosophy, our experiences during operation metro surge, appreciation of solidarity, how ethics, morals, law, and justice intertwine but aren't the same, and... prom?

You can find out more about Cari at lotuslegalpllc.com

If men can't listen to the news, maybe they can listen to a man listening to a woman explaining the news from her kitchen in 3 minutes or less.

A conversation with Michelle Glogovac, the podcast matchmaker (one of many, many hats she wears) helps me knock the rust off the podcast and release the first episode in about 8 months.  We talk about big things happening in a surprisingly small world, juggling four podcasts of her own on top of the work she does matchmaking guests and hosts, the fascination in the details of other people's stories, writing books, and how there's no such thing as "just" a podcast host.

You can find Michelle at @michelleglogovac on Instagram, @thepodcastmatchmaker on Substack, and by searching her name on your preferred podcast platform to find her four podcasts:

BURNT Podcast

Beyond The Campaign Podcast

Read The Damn Book

The MLG Collective

If men can't listen to women, maybe they can listen to a man listening to a new friend talk about snow sculpture, activism, Hallmark movies, indigenous world views and displacement, MEETING KERMIT THE FROG (OMG OMG OMG), the role art plays in defining one's spirit, and so much more!

You can find Heather at www.linktr.ee/Friedliarts and both of us this weekend at the No Kings day protest on June 14 in Saint Paul, MN.

If men can't listen to women, maybe they can listen to a man having a conversation with one of the women that inspired him to do a podcast! Maggie is the founder of Every Women is Worthy, an organization that strives to build a world where all women are valued. We talk about her organization, protecting women's rights globally, building a better world, what women find attractive (hint, it's not being a jerk), what bodily autonomy means, if tradition is malleable, and so much more!
