J sits down with Jennilyn Carson, long time friend, editor in chief of Yogadork, founder of Cycledork and TASCbar. They rode the wave of yoga into the mainstream together and reminisce over some of the sign posts and stories that marked the way. The conversation also covers Jennilyn’s interests in woman’s cycles, cats, social justice, and the ever-changing “cluster-f***” of yoga culture and news. The two commune on the silver linings, and J explains why he decided to have this be the year anniversary episode.

J talks with Pamela Tanner Boll, award winning producer and director of the documentary films A Small Good Thing and Who Does She Think She Is? They discuss her earlier work and formative times in life that shaped the themes running through her movies, including the pressing issues addressed in her recent work that spoke to J deeply and inspired their conversation. They touch on the difference between holding space vs fighting for it, the challenges of making a living as an artist, and the importance of being curious, not furious.
