Jane Q. Public
Jane Q. Public is a podcast featuring conversations with people across the social and political spectrum about the nature of modernity, our collective concerns as a nation, and the impacts of technology and digital civic culture on American life.
My top ten favorite episodes (so far):
-
In which I interview my BFF for the very first episode of the podQast. We discuss art, travel, and a bunch of other things that are random and hilarious.
-
In which I dive into the mind (and heart) of longtime friend Umar Hakim Dey, a community organizer, activist and social entrepreneur from Compton, CA.
-
In which I welcome my Canadian friend Bob LeDrew, a recovering communicator who now spends most of his working time libraries and dabbling in musical things.
-
In which I talk with Mycelium Youth Network founder Lil Milagro Henriquez about nerd culture, finding one's identity, cultural appropriation and her passion for educating and supporting youth in environmental activism.
-
In which Dr. Yehuda Kurtzer and I sportingly discuss identity, belonging, social transformation... and food.
-
In this episode I welcome technology journalist and longtime friend Omar Gallaga to discuss his experience in media before, during and after the digital revolution.
-
In which I welcome Dr. David Dault and ask him about about his Catholic faith; the limitations inherent in institutions; and the impact of technology on our public discourse and deliberative democracy.
-
In which I chat (and fangirl out) with Neda Mo'Money, a hijab-wearing, pole-dancing, social media creator who generously shares her humor, stories of recovery from familial abuse, and wisdom with the world.
-
In which I talk with Ari Cohn, Free Speech Counsel at TechFreedom, an organization dedicated to understanding the impacts of technology on our society. We discuss social media's impact on American culture; the importance of protecting first amendment rights to speech, especially in our new communications landscape; and how we can both protect and assert ourselves online.
-
In which I chat up Coy Jones, a former philosophy professor turned healthcare policy consultant; national park enthusiast; armchair historian; and writer of fantasy stories.
