  • 19: May 23 2025 - Making Light of What Could’ve Been Dark with Joi Towner
    2025/05/23

    Get to know a funny, inspirational champion for people recovering from trauma or other setbacks. Joi Towner suffered a stroke at age 31, beginning a journey that inspired her to help others. After 6 weeks in the hospital, she went on to establish a nonprofit foundation, develop a comedy routine, launch a podcast and write a book. “You’re not handicapped, you’re handi-capable,” she tells us.

    She provides counseling, a support group, and inspirational speaking. She also advocates for accessibility. Her book, Fight Lives in the Heart of a Survivor, is a story of strength and determination through the odds of adversity. It’s a stroke survivor's guide to hope, encouragement, and inspiration. She provides details on an upcoming event, King of Kings, on June 7, honoring the amazing men in our lives who are often overlooked.

    • Al Brody, co-host of this podcast, one-time city council candidate, long-time VERY engaged local citizen
    • Corey Hutchins, who oversees the Colorado College Journalism Institute, advises Colorado Media Project, and writes the weekly Inside the News in Colorado newsletter.
    • Matt Schniper, who served as editor of the Indy 2016-2019, served as its Food & Drink Editor for 19 years, and now publishes Side Dish with Schniper and co-hosts the Tap & Table podcast.
