Time to Stop Yelling at Your TV | S3 | E7 The Election’s Over. Now What? Time to Stop Yelling at Your TV | S3 | E7 What if the real fallout of this election season isn’t just political division—but a crisis of connection? In this episode of Kinship Tales, we dig into the hidden cost of our fractured world: loneliness. Declared a public health crisis by the U.S. Surgeon General, loneliness is as harmful to our health as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. Americans now spend 20% less time with loved ones than two decades ago, and trust in one another has plummeted from 45% in 1972 to just 30% in 2016.

But here’s the twist: the antidote to this isolation might be something surprisingly simple—hobbies. To find out, we hit the streets of Bainbridge, Washington, to ask people a bold question: Could hobbies be the key to fighting loneliness? And here’s the kicker: Should the government subsidize them?

With insights from the Surgeon General’s 2023 report and sociologist Allison Pugh’s research on "connective labor," we uncover how hobbies—those small, joyful pastimes—are quietly helping people reconnect in a disconnected world. Tune in for bold ideas and a fresh perspective on what it will take to rebuild our social fabric.

We often tell ourselves we can't be interviewed because we won't have anything interesting to say. Bryan and I started our podcast and business to prove that idea wrong. And Season 3 of the KTPod is all about that goal.

Today we talk to Pamela (Pam for short) about her lifetime of dance. Not because she is a premier dancer or famous choreographer, but because she loves it. Hearing Pam's story we learn how dance is in her blood, in her family history, and is the practice that ties her family together. Pam is inspiring, frank, and funny while she shares the details of her life with dance.

Enjoy this beautiful story and remember that your hobby, your passion, is a part of what makes you, you. It doesn't need to be your career, you don't need to be the best. You just need to love it.

Dilemma In Education | Ep 4 | S2 The A.I. Dilemma In Education | Ep 4 | S2 Education is facing pushback from different cultural forces at the moment. However, one very important shift is mostly going unnoticed by the public due to a lack of understanding: artificial intelligence (A.I.). New advancements in Large Language Models (LLM's) like ChatGPT and Bard have captivated the media and started a race between big tech companies like Microsoft and Google.

In this episode, Kelly and Bryan reveal how the frontlines of this race will soon be in our nation's classrooms.  Learn why teachers and students benefit from some technology, yet have major concerns about the new Generative A.I. taking over teachers jobs and students free will.

We share a new model for how to introduce and regulate technology in school so that teachers and students have data privacy and rights. This new technology is moving fast and may pose serious risks to the current generation of students. Shouldn't we question the motives of private corporations before we allow them to test new technology on our kids?
