What’s On Your Mind?
by Jani Rad
Join me on ’What’s On Your Mind?’, as I interview guests about their weekly musings and Wikipedia rabbit holes. Like toxic beauty standards. Or, the impact of redlining. Or, bees. Whatever it is, we process it together. We’ll all learn a little something and take another step in creating our own stories - all while adding another laugh line to your face.
