Some issues shout. Others whisper. And then there are the ones happening right under our noses while we’re busy watching cute puppy commercials. In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the struggles that don’t get the glossy PSAs or viral hashtags—but absolutely should.

Matt is joined by Carla Bayonnet, Summit County Adult Guardian Service’s powerhouse Executive Director, and Beth Wills, a boots-on-the-ground volunteer at Northeastern Ohio Women’s Services. They’re here to help us spotlight the Invisible People—the neighbors and community members dealing with big challenges in total silence.

It’s real, it’s eye-opening, and yes… it’s the stuff no one talks about at brunch (but probably should).

After a very long Season 2, we come to the final bonus episodes, a 2-part series focusing on the people behind the scenes, the unsung heroes of the technical quality of the show. In Part 1 we meet Bobby Thomas, the audio engineer who helps clean and mix much of the dialogue. He shares his stories as a radio DJ, a voice actor and audio editor when it was still reel-to-reel. And we interview Tyler Kubisty, the lead tech supervisor who sat at the board for 57/60 episodes, and had a huge hand in creating the content from the very beginning.
