Embracing your Eccentricities: Jessica Baehr's Author Journey Artwork

Roundy's Rants, Raves and Reviews

As an English, Theatre, and Speech and Debate Teacher, I've got issues and thoughts on issues. My students call them my "rants". Everyone has their soapboxes, their certainties/beliefs, and each voice is important and should be heard! So, let's Rant together!

I also firmly believe that literature of all forms makes up a part of who we are, our beliefs/thoughts, and what we do with them to create.

In this podcast we discuss:

1) Rants: What's your certainty/soapbox? Let's have a respectful discussion about it.

2) Raves: The Literature/authors who have inspired you, your life, and your work.

3) Reviews: A discussion and review of your work (whatever you do), or what you believe others should be reading/watching/listening to and why.
