Everything All The Time Podcast lives on in a different form.
Hello everyone,
As you may have known for sometime that my original podcast Everything All The Time ended a couple years ago. I said I was going to leave the episodes up but lately I have thought about how the subject matter of the podcast is not really that relevant to me anymore. I have been debating taking the show down but I had not made up my mind.
A few weeks ago a woman named Melissa Taylor reached out to me and asked if I would be willing to relinquish the name of the podcast as she had wanted to make a podcast of her own with the same name. Seeing as how the podcast was no longer in use, this seemed fine to me. It was only after she explained her podcast that it confirmed it for me. I want to share with you her write up, for her podcast, as her words are going to explain it better than my own.
Hi! I’m Melissa and I’m broken. More like shattered.
Possibly, just..normal.
This podcast came to be after I sat and reflected on this year. School- the world- shut down in March. So I said okay, let’s make it to May, then May came and I thought, okay let’s make it to August, then August came..and we just keep moving the goal post.
And in between all of that?
It feels unrelenting.
People are dying all around us, and it’s not just COVID, I mean it is, but it just feels like so much at once, heroes gone... We have social unrest because the injustices are finally coming to the public forefront with the time for people to just sit and realize what’s happening. And with nothing but despair feeding our minds—this is all we have to focus on.
And who is carrying the burden of all of this? Women and Mothers. I want this to be our historical archive of what happened during this time. Every inequality mothers have historically faced (especially marginalized mothers) is compounded now in this pandemic and political climate.
Each week I will be talking to women and mothers. We may cry. We may laugh. We may need to stop and drink. But our main goal will be to find comfort in each other’s stories and hopefully find a way to climb out of this rubble. Because we have to. We must continue telling stories and uplifting each other. We must sit in our feelings. It’s okay to be sad and frustrated about this time. It’s okay to find some joy too. It’s not an even a balance. It’s a marathon to get out of this alive. So, let’s do it together while also trying to do everything all the time.
So there you have it. I’m going to be taking my podcast down to support a better cause. I appreciate all of you reading this and I appreciate all the original listeners of Everything All The Time. Links to the new podcast are below this post. Please head on over to Melissa’s website and check out here podcast once she gets her first episode up.
If you have any desire to listen to my old podcast I will be taking the episodes down on Monday 10/12/20, so start downloading the episodes now if you want them.
