Pod-KEA: No Assembly Required!

Season 1, Episode 42 — January 20, 2026 15:32 This week’s episode is assembled in the classic IKEA style: minimal text, maximum confidence, and one extra screw you’re going to think about all day. We move through the calm, load-bearing updates—leadership and mentoring pathways, federal clarity, and the behind-the-scenes tech shifts that keep ODHS standing straight. There’s a little plane travel, a little donation-bin archaeology, and just enough Swedish to remind us we’re all learning together.
