I’m leaving a post that has nothing to do with your actual Podcasts.

I have been happily noticing that commercials and programming on television are including a lot more people of color. It’s fantastic. I am a little old lady of Jewish descent. I’ve been an atheist for a long time, but I am still a Jew.

My friends who are POC think of me as one of the ‘oppressors’. I try to explain that I am not ‘white’.

I think of them as the ‘oppressed’, in that they have been under represented.

I believe that there was a change after George Floyd was murdered.

I HOPE I am right.

Thanks for the work you are doing.

David, I really wanted to share my feelings about the person who doesn’t read fiction. It makes me sad for him.

He’s never been in a secret garden.

He’s never been on a volcanic island full of eccentric diamond millionaires.

He’s never watched a tree grow in Brooklyn.

I must hope he is one of a very few and not a great many Americans.

He doesn’t just say he hasn’t read them. He says he thinks it’s a bad idea.

VOTE BLUE!
