Lately, I've been telling everyone I know to listen to the podcast "60 Songs That Explain the 90s" -- it's such a fun tour of great music.
"Say Nothing" and "Killers of the Flower Moon" are two recent ones I cannot recommend highly enough.
Early in my career, I working for a congresswoman, and staffing her at a town hall. A constituent of hers started yelling at her and interrupting the congresswoman's remarks. I went up to the constituent to get them to take a seat, and my boss told me then, and reiterated later, that the whole point of a town hall was for people to be heard. The good, the bad, the disagreements. That constituent was her boss--they deserved to be heard. So much of my work since then has been to make sure that as many voices as possible are heard—it was an invaluable lesson.
