August 5th, 2020: Anna K Gold

In this week’s show I interviewed actress and writer, Anna K Gold! Anna recently moved to the island from Illinois right before lockdown. We chatted about her past work, her career aspirations, and what a wonderful goldmine small towns are for writing content.

Thanks for chatting Anna!

June 24th: Clara Alvarez Caraveo

In our first podcasted episode I sit down with my good friend Clara Alvarez Caraveo, an islander and a researcher with the Urban Institute. We talk about her research on the effects of the public charge rule and coronavirus, her work to make the Urban Institute a more diverse and equitable organization, and how growing up on the island influenced her.

Her work is extremely important and I loved getting to hear more about what she does. In the episode we talk about the possible projections of how COVID-19 could spread in Avalon. You can check out her report with those projections below.

Clara’s been listening to a lot of funk and soul so I hope you enjoy this week’s playlist too.

Thanks for Shootin’ The Shrimp with me, Clara!
