Podcasts in a time of COVID19
Posted on April 11 2020
Last fall, I had the honor of being interviewed by Sheila Long, the founder of Malamadoe Coworking Community for Women, on her podcast, Head of the Table. Sheila's business has a two-fold purpose: she runs a coworking community where women can rent a desk or an office, and she also leads a robust and inspiring community of women entrepreneurs. It is only due to Sheila's influence on my life that I started There Wrens.
It took a lot of work on her part to get me on the podcast, since, like so many other women, I simply have a hard time seeing myself as a leader. But Sheila's amazing gift is working with women to help them recognize their own potential, and to take on the challenges that make us most uncomfortable. We chatted about the story of Three Wrens, and our personal story as well. You can listen to it here.

Most often, I listen to news and politics-based podcasts, but honestly, right now, I just can't. So I'm on the prowl for other good ones - can you help? Please comment below with your go-to downloads. And since I believe in give-and-take, I've listed some of my favorites as well.

Entertainment
Okay, I admit I haven't listened to Escape from Planet Death yet, but I can't wait to start it. It's a comedy fiction series by the students at Brigham Young University. A crew of bureaucrats, escaping to a distant planet, must confront a rogue robot that threatens to destroy humanity. I'll let you know how good it is, I'm sure I'll start it next!
What podcasts are getting you through this strange time we are living in?

Thanks for the shout out today for the Head of the Table podcast. I like the We are MKE podcast. It is a great way to support local businesses during the pandemic.
I don’t usually do podcasts, but I love anything by PR “Measurement Queen” Katie Delahaye Paine, and she did an interview about measuring your publicity efforts on the Public Relations Review podcast.
But I always listen to audiobooks when I’m driving, exercising or cleaning. I really like positive attitudes and a little humor during quarantine, so I recommend “The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window And Disappeared,” “Girl, Wash Your Face,” and “Funny, You Don’t Look Autistic.”
