Podcasts about Community care

Join in the conversation!Welcome back to another episode of the Hella Chisme Podcast.Happy Pride Month, Cheese Mates. This one is for the community, all of it.This week, host Dana sits down with internationally recognized transgender advocate, educator, and storyteller Ben Greene for a deep, honest, and joy-filled conversation about what it really means to show up for one another, especially right now.We talk about community care beyond the buzzword. We talk about the very real divide happening inside the LGBTQIA+ community between the gay community and the trans community  and why that conversation is long overdue. We talk about advocacy fatigue, what it feels like to be the only person speaking up in a room, and how queer people keep finding ways to heal collectively even when the world keeps making it harder.We play "Who's In Your Chosen Family?"  a love letter to all the roles queer people play for each other. We built the Official Queer Survival Kit for 2026. And we close with a community check-in that asks the questions we need to sit with after the parades are over.Ben Greene is the author of My Child is Trans, Now What? A Joy-Centered Approach to Support, creator of the Substack Good Queer News, a GLAAD Media Award nominee, and a relentless voice for trans youth and their families at the Missouri State Capitol and beyond.Pride is not just visibility. It's protection. It's my responsibility. It's love that refuses to disappear.San Diego Pride is July 17th — let's celebrate all the way there.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, "Under Pressure." Today we explored how pressure exposes what we really believe, and focused on Mark 4:35–41. Dr. Deb Gorton joined us to talk about how pressure can reveal the thoughts, beliefs, and burdens we need to sift through, explaining how biblical self-stewardship, wise community, and time with God help keep pressure from becoming burnout. Dr. Gorton is the Founder and CEO of Siv Counseling and Consultation. She also serves as Director of Community Care at Soul City Church in Chicago. Then we had Dr. Hormoz Shariat join us to share the urgent needs of believers in Iran, where Christians are facing fear, persecution, and practical hardship while continuing to stand strong for Christ. Dr. Shariat is the Founder and President of Iran Alive Ministries. Daniel Henderson also joined us to talk about spiritual warfare, explaining how opposition often arises when believers are serious about the gospel and why pastors and leaders must stay focused on prayer, the Word, and reliance on God rather than self-reliance. Daniel is the Founder and President of Strategic Renewal International, which coaches pastors. He is also the Global Director of The 6:4 Fellowship.

Marcia shares how Community Care Days began locally, explain how individuals can be involved with the upcoming projects taking place June 12th and 13th on the WRAM Morning Show.

Today, we explore a series that captures San Francisco at the height of the AIDS epidemic. It's a conversation with the host of “When We All Get To Heaven.” Then, we visit the Bay Area's first women's sports bar- Rikki's. Plus, a poem about found family. 

Contrary to historical processes, clinical trials do not have to be limited to large academic centers or homogeneous populations. On this episode, host Alex Maiersperger speaks with Dr. Mimi Fenton, CEO of Cedar Health Research, a community based clinical research organization using AI to bring trials into trusted local care settings.Drawing on her experience across academia, pharma, CROs and retail health, Dr. Fenton explains why access, education and patient support remain major barriers to participation. She discusses how Cedar embeds research into trusted community settings. The conversation also explores how AI and large language models help connect the right patients to the right trials while preserving the human relationships that drive trust and retention.

A horse does not show up with preconceptions about disability, status, or what you can do. It meets you as you are, responds to your body and energy, and somehow makes space for confidence to grow. That simple idea becomes powerful when you hear how Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) turns it into real support for thousands of people across the UK. We sit down with Michael Bishop, CEO of RDA UK, to explain what RDA actually is: a UK-wide disability charity supporting a movement of around 450 local groups, powered by roughly 14,000 volunteers and nearly 3,000 horses each year. Michael breaks down the range of equine-assisted work, from riding and carriage driving to education-linked, ground-based sessions, and he clarifies the difference between hippotherapy (physiotherapy-led intervention) and the broader therapeutic impact people experience through belonging, nature, and routine. We also get practical about access and scale. Half of RDA beneficiaries live in urban areas, and many people discover local centres through schools, families, and medical professionals. But demand is outpacing supply: 71% of groups cannot meet current need. That leads to the big questions around volunteering, funding, rising costs, and how social prescribing could recognise not just participation, but the mental health benefits of volunteering itself. You will also hear about “Tea with a Pony,” a programme supporting people living with progressive conditions like dementia through sensory connection and calm community time. If you care about disability inclusion, mental health support, equine therapy, or community-led care that actually works, this conversation gives you a grounded view of what it takes and what is at stake.

There was a time when your neighbor knew your name, your grandmother's friend's son could check you, and the whole block had some say in how you turned out. Now? People wave and go inside. So what happened?In this episode of Talking Brown Sugar, Rajah and Angela trace the shift from community-deep living to hyperlocalized, mind-your-business culture and ask whether we gained peace or lost something we can't get back.Angela remembers growing up in New York where the neighbors watched you, and North Carolina where the whole street was in your business and told on you. Rajah connects the dots between 9/11, the Patriot Act, social media, and why people started retreating into digital bubbles and what that's cost us in real-world community.They talk about third spaces disappearing (malls, bookstores, libraries), the way social media has wired us to see more negative than positive, and what healthy community actually looks like now neighborhood apps, town halls, holding the HOA accountable.

AgingIN CEO Susan Ryan sits down with Paul Sharman, founder and president of PACE Canada, to explore how integrated, community-based care can transform aging services. Paul shares his journey from engineering and corporate leadership to public service and eldercare innovation after his mother's experience with dementia reshaped his perspective. Inspired by a visit to a Detroit PACE site, Paul launched PACE Canada in Ontario to bring collaborative, relationship-based care to older adults living in community housing. In addition to discussing the challenges of adapting the model to Canada, he examines the importance of trust and cross-sector collaboration. Paul also shares his bold vision for the future: connecting up to one million Canadians to integrated care systems powered by technology, predictive analytics, and community partnerships—all designed to help older adults age with dignity, connection, and support.

In this episode of Sew & So, we're stepping into a powerful intersection of storytelling and sewing with filmmaker and artist Valerie Soe. Valerie is a fourth-generation Chinese American, born and raised in San Francisco, and like so many, her sewing journey started with a single machine—a 1970s Kenmore she still uses today. What began as a practical skill in high school, and later as a way to sew for her family, became something she would return to in a moment when it mattered most. As an award-winning filmmaker and professor of Asian American Studies, Valerie has built her career around telling stories that reflect identity, memory, and community—stories she didn't often see growing up. And in early 2020, when the world slowed down and uncertainty set in, she found herself both living and documenting one of those stories in real time. Through a simple call to action, the Auntie Sewing Squad came together—hundreds of volunteers sewing masks for people who needed them, at a time when supplies were scarce and fear was high. Valerie was part of that effort, sewing alongside others while also capturing the experience as a filmmaker. Her newest documentary, The Auntie Sewing Squad Resistance Playbook, revisits that moment—what it felt like, what was created, and what it meant to come together in a time of crisis. Many of you may remember our earlier conversation with Kristina Wong. (Episode 75) Today, we return to that story through Valerie's lens, with a deeper look at the impact of that movement. This is a conversation about sewing as something more—more than a skill, more than a craft—but a way to connect, to respond, and to care for others when it matters most. (3:25) Valerie talks about her first sewing machine – a 1970's Kenmore – and the beginning of her sewing adventures (4:53) What first drew Valerie to film and telling stories? (5:34) How did she become involved with The Auntie Sewing Squad? (7:00) How did she decide that the first film needed to be made? (8:12) And the second film…why this one? (9:05) Valerie talks about Kristina Wong (11:14) Valerie was both film producer and Sewing Squad participant. How did this affect the film? (12:45) This film was made during the time when Asian Americans were in danger. What was this like for her? (14:00) What were the most unexpected and powerful moments for her in the film? (15:25) How did the Auntie Sewing Squad serve the Navajo Nation and what affect did this have? (16:48) Valerie talks about the tiny details of the film where sewing was a practical tool rooted in community care (18:05) What does Valerie hope people will take away from the film? (20:30) What's next for her and what's her dream? (21:25) She takes us behind the scenes and explains the mechanics of making an independent film. (23:17) Want to see the film?

Host Scott Hennen counts down to America's 250th anniversary with a deep dive into North Dakota's crowning contribution: the upcoming Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library.

In this honest and deeply human conversation, speaker, author, prevention advocate, and Executive Director of RISE TOGETHER, Nadine Machkovech, joins Lisa Wall of Mission Programs & Community Care at SHE RECOVERS. Together, they explore what becomes possible when we loosen our grip on perfection and the pressure to hold it all together as recovery advocates, leaders, mothers, partners, and friends. They reflect on recovering out loud with honesty and courageous vulnerability as a pathway to healing, connection, and empowerment.Nadine shares her journey of entering recovery in her early twenties, navigating the expectations of being a visible voice in the recovery space, and the profound loss of her teenage son to overdose. She speaks to the turning points that invited her to stop hiding her pain and grief, and to the role that connection and storytelling have played in her healing, especially in reaching and supporting the next generation.Together, Nadine and Lisa delve into what it means to redefine recovery, to listen to intuition as a guide, and to permit ourselves to show up just as we are. They also offer a clear reminder that we do not have to wait to hit rock bottom to pursue recovery. Woven throughout the conversation are reflections from Nadine's book, Enough Already: A Journey from Hiding to Healing, along with an invitation to consider authenticity, community, and self-compassion as essential forms of recovery medicine. Nadine reminds us that no one should have to navigate their struggles alone, and that sharing our stories can create a ripple effect of meaningful change.About Nadine MachkovechNadine Machkovech is a TEDx speaker, author of Enough Already, and Executive Director of RISE TOGETHER.

“Every person deserves kindness, dignity, and respect, regardless of what their medical situation is,” says Madison Donnelly, PA-C, who joins host Dr. Parsa Mohri on the latest installment of our NextGen Journeys series. As you'll hear in this thoughtful conversation, Madison is bringing that commitment to patient advocacy and equitable care to her patients at Community Care Physicians in Albany, New York. A graduate of Hofstra University's PA program, Madison describes how the profession's flexibility and team-based approach enables clinicians to expand access to care, particularly in high-demand specialties like women's health and primary care. Drawing on her work in obstetrics and gynecology, she highlights persistent gaps in women's health, including America's troubling maternal mortality rates and the long delays many patients face in receiving diagnoses for endometriosis and other conditions. “There's a difference between telling someone something and being heard,” she notes, emphasizing that women's symptoms are still too often dismissed in clinical settings. The episode also explores overlooked populations -- including NICU families and patients with eating disorders -- where stigma, mental health challenges, and fragmented follow-up care can leave people vulnerable long after the initial medical crisis. Don't miss this Raise the Line dialogue about the evolving role of physician associates and how early-career clinicians can help build a more humane and responsive system.

Send a textAre we overlooking one of the most powerful forces behind nonprofit work?For many nonprofit professionals, care for community doesn't switch off at the end of the workday. Long after the job is done, we're still showing up, supporting causes, helping neighbors...living the values that drew us to this work to begin with.In this episode, Britt sits down with Esther Saehyun Lee, founder of Elevate Philanthropy Consulting and a leading voice in Community-Centric Fundraising, to explore the deeper motivations that shape nonprofit work - and the often unseen ways those values continue to strengthen communities beyond the 9-to-5.What you'll learn in this episode:Why the values that draw people into nonprofit work often show up far beyond the workplaceHow everyday acts of community care reflect the principles of community-centric philanthropyWhy this “invisible work” carries real value for the communities nonprofits serveHow recognizing these motivations can reshape the way organizations think about fundraising and leadershipWhat nonprofit leaders can learn from the care and commitment their teams bring into community lifeThe core insight: The work nonprofit professionals do outside formal roles often reflects the same values that power the sector itself - care, community, and commitment to something larger than the job.

Grammy-nominated saxophonist, educator, and activist José A. Zayas Cabán joins us to connect what's happening on the streets of the Twin Cities with what happens in our music rooms. He shares firsthand experiences of the recent Twin Cities ICE presence, the trauma and courage in his community, and the economic fallout for immigrant neighbors and local businesses. From there, we dig into the universal pull of Latin jazz and African diasporic rhythms, why students move so naturally to this music, and how K–12 band, choir, orchestra, and general music teachers can use it to teach core concepts, center student stories, and build truly inclusive programs. Along the way, José offers concrete ideas for repertoire, classroom framing, and using music-making as both healing and resistance.

Community care has always been a pillar of a functioning society. But what does community care actually look like? According to  Angela Russell, host of the local award-winning podcast Black Oxygen, community care can take on countless forms. Whether it's leaning on a neighbor in a time of need, volunteering with a local organization , or even just hosting a group chat among friends. The latest season of Black Oxygen centers on the topic of community care. And today, host Bianca Martin caught up with Russell to talk about the new season of the podcast and the role that community care has historically played in civil rights movements. 

When you're in Philly for PCMA Convening Leaders, you don't just grab a cheesesteak and call it a day. You pay attention to the food culture, the people behind it, and the stories that shape the city. And I couldn't leave town without sitting down with one of the catering chefs doing exactly that. This week on Eating at a Meeting Podcast LIVE, I'm talking with Chef Adam DeLosso, Executive Chef and COO of 12th Street Catering—and this conversation goes far beyond what's on the plate. Adam and the team at 12th Street believe great event food is about connection just as much as cuisine. Designing menus where every guest feels welcome without extra effort isn't a "nice to have" for him—it's the standard. That mindset shows up everywhere: how his team supports guests with complex dietary needs, how they approach staff training and labeling, and how they think about sustainability and responsibility. We talk about what it really means to build safe, sustainable, and inclusive food experiences into events so seamlessly that guests simply feel cared for. Adam shares the story of creating a carbon-neutral menu before the industry was ready—and why that moment still shapes how he approaches innovation today. We also dig into 12th Street's Meals With a Mission philosophy and partnerships with Trellis for Tomorrow and Philabundance, showing how catering can nourish communities, not just attendees. If you plan events, this matters. Food is where trust, risk, inclusion, and brand values all collide—and Adam offers a real-world look at how thoughtful leadership turns those moments into WOW experiences. Because when food is done with care and creativity, it doesn't just feed people. It brings them together. What does "every guest feels welcome" look like at your events?

Brian From talks with John Kuhfahl, Associate Campus Pastor at The Chapel’s Grayslake campus, about leaving a decades-long career in the pharmaceutical industry to step into ministry. John shares how his business background now fuels the Chapel Care Center, the largest food pantry and clothing closet in Lake County, and how serving tangible needs has reshaped the church’s culture and mission. The conversation highlights courage, calling, and the quiet miracles that happen when the church becomes known simply as “the church that helps people.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, Theresa and Jennifer are discussing the Year of the Fire Horse and what that might mean for how we move through the year. First, what are we hearing and feeling about the Fire Horse? High-energy, sometimes chaotic, transformation, bold changes, breaking old patterns... It's an excellent time for self care and community care and maybe incorporating some white or blue into your life to balance the fiery red.How may we choose to show up in a big collective community care way? Protesting, activism, nonviolence. Erica Chenoweth is someone Theresa refers to when thinking about countering the violence with non-violence. We discuss what makes a successful nonviolent movement: 1. the ability to organize large scale participation and build momentum, 2. ability to illicit loyaltyships in key pillars of support. 3. maintain resilience even under violence. 4. innovate beyond street demonstrations.Playbook of every successful non-violent struggle.Jennifer think about the different roles we might play when engaged in a movement as outlined in the Social Change Ecosystem Map. And is inspired by the wisdom shared by Valerie Kaur  and her philosophy on Revolutionary Love: Three Different Tenets to it.

Tens of thousands of children in England have spent more than a year waiting for NHS community care, such as hearing services, speech and language therapy and disability support, the BBC has found. Nick Triggle, BBC News Health Correspondent and Harriet Edwards, Strategy Lead at the national disability charity, Sense, join Nuala McGovern to discuss the findings. Author, economist and politician Yanis Varoufakis joins Nuala to discuss being, as he describes it, raised a misogynist. He also talks about the women in his life that helped change that and what he believes lies behind the growth in misogynist attitudes.A new ITV crime documentary, Killer in the House, traces the story of one of the most notorious double murder stories in recent UK history, where a respected Northern Irish dentist, Colin Howell, murdered his wife and his lover's husband, staged it as a double suicide, and evaded justice for nearly twenty years. Howell was never suspected for the murder of Lesley Howell and Trevor Buchanan, until his confession in 2007, implicating his former lover, Hazel Stewart. Lauren Bradford-Clarke, daughter of Lesley and Colin, talks to us about the impact this crime had on her family.Bonnie Langford has been a British household name for more than 50 years, singing and dancing across many stages in countless musicals, as well as memorable TV roles in EastEnders and Dr Who. Now she's playing Mrs Bird in the much-acclaimed Paddington The Musical in London's West End. She joins Nuala to discuss the joys of treading the boards with that much-loved, life-sized bear.
