Podcast Episode 32: Locker Room Talk: Getting Comfortable, a Conversation About Sexual Violence
Podcast Episode 34: Community Building Through Blogging with Just Us Gals Boston
Sam Hammar, Director of Digital Engagement for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, is a dynamo! She has spoken at several SGO events and we just had to have her on our podcast so we could talk to her in greater detail. Anyone who’s anyone in local city government has heard of Sam. We geek out about politics and the importance of getting involved locally and her work for the Commonwealth and as Commissioner for the City of Melrose’s Commission on Women.
We also include a special Shout Out Section, where we rave about two wonderful podcasts, the Stack Overflow podcast and Sooo Many White Guys. And we JUST so happen to also TALK about one of them during the podcast. Because we’re so meta. Please listen to them, they’ll make your ears and brain happy!
