Welcome to my final project for poli270! In this episode I discuss a quote from Plato’s Republic about what makes a good leader.

I’m this episode I talk about my health/wellness lately and walk listeners through a quick mindfulness practice. I also provide some of my thoughts on the pandemic, and end with three spoken word poems.
