Cheers to a New Year of Powerful Podcasts! To kick off the year, our General Manager, Jemma Rose Brown, has curated a list of her current podcast picks: 🎧 The Wonder of Stevie, an extraordinary show about an extraordinary artist, and hosted by Wesley Morris who is both a talented interviewer and a joy to listen to. 🎧 Jemma has a hard time adjusting to winter, so she found this episode (S2 Ep 1) of Voices in the River –the Signal Award Winning podcast hosted by witch Rebecca Auman (she/her) and Produced by Theo Balcomb– to be a welcome companion to the darkness of this time of year. 🎧 The Wiser Than Me interview with Isabella Rosselini convinced her rewatch all of her exquisite Green Porno series. Here’s to another year of amazing content and even more incredible stories. 🎙️
