Episode 198 - Calling In vs Calling Out

This week Shawn welcomes co-host Ishita and disability advocate Amy Amantea to the show for a discussion that explores the differences between "calling out" (direct confrontation in public spaces) and "calling in" (a more private dialogue) when dealing with discrimination or ableism. The conversation highlights the importance of intent, context, and the potential impact on relationships. They also touch on the role of social media in calling out systemic issues, emphasizing the need for thoughtful and strategic approaches.
