History has blessed us with some dynamic duos over time: Tom and Jerry; Thelma and Louise; Bert and Ernie and now, Andrea Askowitz and Allison Langer.  They are two peas in a pod(cast) and the creators of the immensely entertaining, outrageously raw and honest podcast called, Writing Class Radio where true and personal stories from students in Andrea's writing class are shared and where you can learn to write you own stories.

The duo met years ago after Alison suffered a devastating personal tragedy and enrolled in Andrea's writing class in hopes of navigating through some of the pain she was going through. This serendipitous meeting would be the catalyst to an enduring friendship and collaboration that would change both of their lives as well as the lives of many others brave enough to be honest with themselves.

Writing Class Radio is where "heart meets art" and where the goal of each episode is to make it equally about the craft of writing and the art of storytelling.  We think they nail it each and every time.

We hope you enjoy the conversation.

It's said that necessity is the mother of invention. So if you take invention and mix it with an intelligent, driven and creative individual who understands the harmful effects of poisonous products on our skin, then you get Jacq's, a natural beauty brand founded by Barbara Jacques.

Six years ago, when Barbara was pregnant with her first child, her doctor discovered an ovarian tumor that put her on bedrest with few medical answers.  After deep diving into holistic healing and the importance of self-care and diet, Barbara discovered that what she was using on her skin was just as important.  Turning to her kitchen, using natural and organic ingredients, Barbara birthed a non-toxic skin-care line that's designed to feed and heal the skin.

Today, Barbara and her husband James, have grown Jacq's to offer an array of products designed for all skin tones with the goal of making every woman (and man) look good, feel good and slay naturally.

We hope you enjoy the conversation.

The activist in Elizabeth Jones peaked it's head out in 8th grade when she presented a research paper on animal testing to her fellow classmates. It wasn't until years later, after becoming vegan and being put on the spot about her activism efforts, did Liz allow her inner activist to come through.  Today, she's a Marine Biologist by day and passionate, bad ass animal protector by night/weekend and everything in between.  A quick visit to her Instagram page will reveal her passion and efforts to educate and bring awareness to not only animal welfare, but also the environment, health and human rights.

We've admired Liz for quite some time and was eager to sit down and learn her story.  It takes incredible strength to stick to your convictions despite constant harassment and ridicule.  Yet, Liz understands her mission is greater than herself and continues each day to fight for the voiceless and marginalized.

This interview is honest, raw and powerful and we don't shy away from asking the questions you may be thinking.

We hope you enjoy the conversation.
