Love this list! Already listening to sooo many episodes of Arts Educators Save the World!
I wanted to recommend the new season of Second Sunday!
The first season of Second Sunday started by taking a close look inside the church at the way Black Queer people are surviving and thriving. For their new season, they’re bringing stories of people finding faith outside the church, in many different ways. They guide us through new ways of knowing ourselves and those around us. I love the dynamic the hosts have together and with their guests. Hosts Darren and Esther perfectly balance between personal, difficult stories, and bringing their comedic, fun personalities to the episodes. And the show is about so much more than just religion or religious institutions. The way their episodes explore faith and belonging, help us understand all the ways community can exist, how it’s built and maintained, and what it means to people.
In the first episode of this season, Bishop Yvette Flunder talks about feeling the need to marry a man, even though she knew it wasn’t really want she wanted. As Darren and Esther say, it’s the story behind the story that makes Bishop Flunder’s interview teach you so much. Just hit play to hear Yvette’s opening quote - it becomes even stronger as you hear her story.
What a delightful mix of shows. I've been trying to do more running lately and podcasts have been ESSENTIAL in not immediately turning around and going home.
I'd love to recommend HUMO: Murder and Silence in El Salvador. It's a brand new investigative show from the award-winning team at Sonoro Media. It begins with the discovery of a mass grave in El Salvador and spirals into a story that touches on the crisis of disappearances and violence in El Salvador, navigating media censorship, and examining systemic problems across the country. Hosted by the brilliant Salvadoran American journalist Daniel Alvarenga (in English!) and Bryan Avelar (in Spanish!) it's a really fast-paced and compelling listen.
Update: I have now listened to all available episodes of Behind the Glass, and they are all excellent.
I also talked about it in this ep of our show, if you want detail: https://strongsenseofplace.com/lolts/lolt-2024-04-05/
