Going There: Taboo Topics Are Back on the Table

Our hosts Matt, LeJon and Jo talk to guests about all the issues that keep us divided: politics, religion, sex, money, race, and so on. The topics you can't bring up at a dinner party are dropped back on the table.

Won't You Be My Governor?

Some issues shout. Others whisper. And then there are the ones happening right under our noses while we’re busy watching cute puppy commercials. In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the struggles that don’t get the glossy PSAs or viral hashtags—but absolutely should.

Matt is joined by Carla Bayonnet, Summit County Adult Guardian Service’s powerhouse Executive Director, and Beth Wills, a boots-on-the-ground volunteer at Northeastern Ohio Women’s Services. They’re here to help us spotlight the Invisible People—the neighbors and community members dealing with big challenges in total silence.

It’s real, it’s eye-opening, and yes… it’s the stuff no one talks about at brunch (but probably should).

After a very long Season 2, we come to the final bonus episodes, a 2-part series focusing on the people behind the scenes, the unsung heroes of the technical quality of the show. In Part 2 we meet Cory Choy, the audio guru from Silver Sound in NYC, who talks about his brush-ups with the Kushners, a Pokemon treasure he gave up freely, and of course, the ins and outs of audio cleaning and restoration. We also visit the home of Joe Cali, the narrator for the podcast, where we discuss how it works, what he does, and his famous Jurassic Park commercial.
