In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

This episode Caitlin tells us about various lake monsters, such as Ogopogo, Rocky, Champ, and the Lake Ripley Monster. Bring some sage and tobacco unless you have a least favorite nephew to spare and jump on in. Certainly nothing bad has ever happened in a lake before.

Obsessed With The Queensland Tiger 42:12

42:12

This episode Caitlin tells us about the Australian cryptid, the Queensland Tiger. Is it just a thylacine despite being about 250 lbs too small and looking almost completely different? My wife certainly thinks so! [This space reserved for shitty Australian accents and Crocodile Dundee jokes about knife sizes]…

This episode we discuss the little know cryptid, the Van Meter Visitor. If you thought pterodactyls weren't cool before, take another look, this time at one with a laser beam attached to its friggin head. If you thought pterodactyl was misspelled, take another look at a dictionary. I don't make the rules. I hope this episode doesn't upset anyone from Iowa considered the fact I just learned about it in regards to its median gun owner statistics.…

58:07

In this very special episode we stay at the allegedly haunted Abita Springs Hotel courtesy of the owner and local pillar of the community, John Preble. We take audio recordings, operate a spirit talking board, and eat leftover pizza all in the pursuit of confirming whether or not this location is in fact haunted. We are joined by our long time friend, Caroline, who agreed to help operate the spirit board in hopes of speaking with a specter. Also, Caitlin laughs so hard about the mere idea of "Farts" that her Apple watch thinks she's dying of heart failure.…

9 weeks тому26:45

26:45

This is our first Mini Obsession! A (supposedly) shorter form content where we talk about more current things that pertain to our particular weird. This one ran a little long and came closer to a full episode runtime than originally intended but we don't know when to shut up. This time we are talking about the strange lights that have appeared in the New Jersey nighttime sky. Are they aliens? Is it just friggin planes? We don't have the answers, but you can listen to us talk about it all the same. Be back Wednesday with a full length episode of normal content. Whatever normal means. Info discussed in this episode is taken from various news outlets such as Forbes and NBC News as well as good old Wikipedia.…

This is an old episode we found in the attic, dusted off, and brought downstairs just for you. The wailing howls of "He who lurks amongst the rafters" could not stop us from bringing you this seasonal episode where we talk about Krampus, The Yule Lads+Cat, and The Mari Lwyd. Happy holidays, for whatever it is you celebrate during the winter solstice, and as a gift we have found for you an episode we once thought lost. Unfortunately it will have to sit underneath the tree until next week. Don't worry, we poked holes in the box.…
