Dr. Rose Cole recommends:

• Figuring by Maria Popova. A favorite quote from the work: “This is the power of art: The power to transcend our own self-interest, our solipsistic zoom-lens on life, and relate to the world and each other with more integrity, more curiosity, more wholeheartedness.”

Tim Mullen recommends:

• New Power by Henry Timms and Jeremy Heimans, which looks at the shape of power and the context in which going viral happens. 

• Old Gods of Appalachia, an eldridge horror alternate history podcast with themes of marginalization and power.  

• Making Gay History, a podcast where Eric Marcus shares audio from interviews he conducted for his primary source history of LGBTQ+ leaders.

Andrea Brown recommends:

• Moonchild on Spotify. Moonchild is a soul/jazz band from Los Angeles, California. The band formed in 2012 and has three members: Amber Navran (vocals, saxophone), Max Bryk (keyboards, saxophone), and Andris Mattson (drums). Their music has a smooth and mellow sound, blending elements of jazz, R&B, and electronic music.
