12-episode explorations of life’s most common & interesting questions. Our question for season 2 is this: How much money is enough?

Host Nicole Antoinette and her guests will explore the role money plays in our lives and relationships. We’ll talk debt, overcoming under-earning, anti-capitalism, taking care of both our current and our future selves, how to determine financial goals, experiencing class mobility, as well as the emotional side of it all—the times when our financial decisions and circumstances make us feel resentful, scared, joyful, proud, guilty, ashamed, grateful, and more.

Sorry About The Kid

How do you forget your favourite person in the world? Alex remembers everything about the day a speeding police car killed his brother. But his brother, alive? Those memories are lost. And now, 30 years later, Alex wants them back. In this emotional four-part series, Alex unearths his childhood grief — with help from family, friends, and a therapist who witnessed his brother’s death. What happens when trauma and memory collide? Sorry About The Kid is a deeply personal meditation on the losses that define us. Hosted by Alex McKinnon. Produced with Mira Burt-Wintonick (WireTap, Love Me).

Kasich & Klepper

They come from two different sides of the political spectrum: John Kasich, former Governor of Ohio and 2016 Republican presidential candidate; and Jordan Klepper, a liberal comedian best known for his viral videos interviewing MAGA supporters for The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.

In this weekly talk show podcast, the pair will come together to scream their differing political opinions at each other for an hour… just kidding. Sure, there will be some political debate, but Kasich & Klepper’s discussions will more often explore the common ground of their shared interests. They’ll dive into conversations about parenting, leadership, pop culture, mental health, and more — all with a good sense of humor and a whole lot of jokes at each other’s expense.

Along the way, Kasich & Klepper will be joined by high-profile guests from all walks of life — musicians, athletes, activists, politicians, and much more — each of whom will share their unique perspectives on modern life’s biggest questions.

Together, Kasich & Klepper will have thoughtful, engaging, and downright hilarious conversations to demonstrate the power of mutual understanding in a polarized world.

Count to Ten

Marginalized people live many realities and fight many battles all at the same time. Our unfiltered words are often confined to break room whispers, living room rants, or raw heartfelt talks with members of our community. What if anyone could be a fly on the wall during these conversations? Oftentimes, we are pressured to “Count to ten,” or play it cool despite these realities. On The Count to Ten Podcast we will be amplifying real people, stories, and conversations to break this code of silence.  

Count to Ten is a weekly podcast hosted by Bri Hall who is an artist, motivational speaker, and social media creator who has amassed over 1.1 million followers on all her platforms. With a dedication to philanthropy and activism, The Count To Ten Podcast is another natural extension of her commitment to social justice and mental health.
