Podcast Picks with Jim The Podcast Sherpa
Author/Podcaster Wendy Kok( "A Juicy Pear")!
Season 7, Ep. 3
•
I believe that "A Juicy Pear is still putting out new episodes...AND Wendy has a new book out! Stuff to hear and read! This was an interesting chat...thanks for checking it out!
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Simple question, Rebels- How can a person NOT be busy with 2 sets of twins? I found it amazing that being a busy working mom, Wendy Kok had the time to write the incredible book, "A Grey Resort.". PLUS co-host a podcast! It must be that Michigan air. (Not making jokes about the water, because, well, you know...) Nonetheless, she was really interesting to interview, and I'm sure you'll be seein or hearing new things from her creative mind in the near future. Thanks for swinging by, Wendy!

1. Your Career Transfusion, with Jolie Downs!
36:58||Season 7, Ep. 1Happy to report that Jolie has a new career oriented podcast , called "Career Wanderlust", which I'm sure is LOADED with career advice for moving your best foot forward. Unfortunately, when I put my best foot forward, I tend to wreck my shoes from stepping in something, um...unfortunate. But forget about that for now, and you can learn something from our interview, from a few years ago.__________________________________________________________________________________________There's nothing like kicking off a new season with some great advice. And Jolie certainly provided us with valuable information. With all of these changing times, maybe some of us are looking for a change, and possibly a change in our careers. So have a listen to Jolie's podcast, and you just might be on your way to that career change you've always wanted. As i mentioned in the onset, it was fun for me to "interview the interviewer", while also learning about mastering the interview at the same time. Thanks, Jolie for coming on the show!Jolie's info: LinkedIn, FB, Instagram,:(@JolieDowns,@joliet13) Paradigm StaffingSherpa Suggestions (Midlife Podcasts) https://blog.feedspot.com/midlife_podcasts/Women In The Middle: Loving Life After 50The Experience 50 Podcast for MidlifeMidlife MattersMagnificent Midlife PodcastWelcome To Your Life!

2. Battling Griselda Blanco in the Miami Drug Wars! w Lt. Raul Diaz and Sean Oliver ("Killing The Lieutenant")
27:56||Season 16, Ep. 2Rebels, in all fairness, this is more than a book about a drug war. It's a snapshot. About drug-infested Miami in the 1970's, and the society around it, and Lt. Diaz's place in this battle. The book is chock full of gritty, brutally honest stories of the life of a police officer during these times. And don't get me started on the Monkey!! Both Raul and Sean have lots to say in this interview. Wait til you hear what they say about the Griselda biopic, too! It's a great deep dive to a wild and earlier time.

They always say , if you do what you love, it's not really working. But what if I love being on vacation? Anyway, that's a thought for another day. But in the meantime, give it a look-it's really incredible material.

25. One Man Takes A Town UNDER SIEGE! with Author Howard Frank ("Lying In Wait")!
23:52||Season 15, Ep. 25You wouldn't think that an event like this was actually possible, and yet, for 48 days in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania, this was a nightmare to law enforcement and the residents in the surrounding areas. In "Lying In Wait", Howard explores the terror that was inflicted on this area, along with explaining the mindset of a man dead set on waging war on his country. He even brought out a few points in the course of the interview about what we don't know what still lies out there. (And to be honest, none of these scary thoughts are enough to entice me to relax with a cup of tea and a few Mallomars. Maybe next month?) Anyway, please check out Howard Frank's book (link below!), as he describes true crime terror. Thanks for coming on the show.
