Normally, we highlight podcasts on Mondays but Jackie Velasquez-Ross, our guest this week, was on Outsights-In by KPN Technium where she talked about working remote, work-life balance, and the importance of compassionate candor (read: feedback). It's a nice compliment to our conversation with Jackie.

Welcome to Friday, it's been one heckuva week and so we'd like to share one of our favorite podcasts in The Metropolitan Opera and WQXR’s Aria Code hosted by Rhiannon Giddens. Specifically, the episode about Gioachino Rossini’s Cinderella story is pretty incredible. Mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato talks about how she loves the sincerity and strength of this role and believes in its absolute celebration of human goodness.

We’ve gotten a few messages and emails asking when the next episode will be up. The answer is next Tuesday and it's with Amy Kim Waschke, who's currently a company actor at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

But in the meanwhile, if you’re itching for something to listen to, give Nice White Parents a shot.

Having lived in NYC for over a decade, this work from Chana Joffre-Wolt of This American Life and The New York Times landed hard and personal about the NYC public school system. Listen to the five episode series here: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/30/podcasts/nice-white-parents-serial.html
