Nora Zelevansky: Memory, First Love & the Selves We Leave Behind.
Sep 29, 202649 minS4
Send us Fan Mail What do we do with memory when it is no longer behind us, but standing in front of us? How does what we remember shape the present, inform the future, and color—sometimes even haunt—the past? Author Nora Zelevansky returns to At the Podium to talk about memory, nostalgia, first love, friendship, and the complicated selves we carry across time. Her newest novel, Backslide , written under the pen name Nora Dahlia , follows two former first loves forced back into each other’s lives decades later—and explores what happens when memory collides with the people they have become. In this conversation, Nora and Patrick explore the emotional landscape of memory: the freedom of growing up before cell phones and social media, the ways formative experiences continue to shape us, the truths and omissions that accumulate inside long friendships, and why relationships rarely divide neatly into heroes and villains. At the emotional center of the episode, Nora brings that idea out of fiction and into her own life. She reflects on the quiet grief of watching her daughter move on to a new school and realizing that an entire season of her own life—the friendships, laughter, community, and daily rituals surrounding that school—had ended as well. At its core, this conversation is a journey in which Nora and Patrick move past nostalgia into the strangely beautiful and melancholic experience of encountering a person, place, or version of yourself that still exists vividly in memory even though time has moved on. It is where memory becomes both gift and ache: a way of preserving who we were while reminding us that time continues to change who we are.

Mark Godoy Jr: The Child I Lost, The Man I Became.
Sep 22, 202657 minS4
Send us Fan Mail Content Note: This conversation includes discussion of childhood abuse and its lasting effects. At seven years old, Mark Godoy Jr. was abused by an older cousin. What happened to him would reverberate across the decades that followed—through anger, isolation, difficulty trusting others, fractured relationships, and questions about vulnerability and what it meant to be a man. For years, Mark remained largely silent, not only about the abuse itself, but about the turmoil it created in his life and within his spirit. Then he began the difficult work of healing. In this deeply personal and honest conversation, Mark talks about childhood sexual abuse and its lasting impact, the silence that often surrounds male survivors, his return to therapy, and the role faith and forgiveness have played in his life—not as reconciliation with the person who harmed him, but as a way of releasing himself from the anger he had carried for years. We also talk about the child Mark remembers being before the abuse: happy, affectionate and trusting—and the man he has become through the long process of reclaiming his life. This is a conversation about what was lost, what can be healed, and the possibility of building a life beyond what happened to us. Listen. Reflect. Become.

Dr. Rosslyn Knight: What Does It Mean to Belong in Higher Education?
Sep 8, 202644 minS4
Send us Fan Mail What does it mean to belong in higher education—and who gets the message that college is a place for them? Dr. Rosslyn Knight has spent more than 25 years in education, including leading developmental education initiatives across the Maricopa County Community College District. Her work has centered on student success, educational access, and what happens when institutions either recognize a student's potential—or fail to see it. In this episode of At the Podium , Rosslyn and I reconnect more than three decades after first meeting as students at Vanderbilt University. We talk about the teachers who shaped us, including the seventh-grade teacher who saw what Rosslyn was experiencing as the only Black girl in an honors classroom and introduced her to Toni Morrison's *The Bluest Eye*. But our conversation also asks harder questions about higher education today. What do we really mean by “merit”? What are the consequences when a student is told, “Maybe college isn't for you”? Why are men of color increasingly absent from college campuses? What does the end of race-conscious admissions mean for access and opportunity? And are we asking 17- and 18-year-olds to take on financial burdens they cannot yet fully understand? This is a conversation about education, race, student debt and access—but underneath all of it is something more fundamental: the lasting power of being seen, being believed in, and knowing that you belong.

Taylor Abbitt: The Hardest Instrument to Master Is Yourself.
Aug 25, 202648 minS4
Send us Fan Mail What does it really take to master an instrument? For Juilliard-trained double bassist Taylor Abbitt, now a member of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra in Sweden, the answer has very little to do with the instrument itself. What struck me most about Taylor wasn't simply his extraordinary talent—it was his quiet humility. Beneath his reserved demeanor is a young artist thoughtfully growing into his own voice, discovering not only what it means to perform at the highest level, but what it means to become fully himself. In this episode of At the Podium , Taylor reflects on the lifelong pursuit of artistic excellence, the discipline of preparation, learning to trust your own voice, and why every artist must eventually become their own teacher. We discuss the transition from student to professional artist, what it means to perform with conviction, and why true mastery begins long before stepping onto the stage. Taylor also shares the influence of acclaimed bassist Joseph Conyers, his experience competing in the Sphinx Competition , finding his place as a biracial musician in the world of classical music, and the quiet confidence that comes from letting his excellence speak for itself. Whether you're a musician, entrepreneur, artist, leader, or simply someone striving to become better at what you do, this conversation is a reminder that the hardest instrument you'll ever master is yourself.

Jonathan L. Allen: The Courage to Live Truthfully.
Aug 18, 202648 minS4
Send us Fan Mail What does it cost to live truthfully? Jonathan L. Allen has spent his life asking that question. Raised in the church and ordained as a minister at a young age, he eventually faced a decision that would reshape his faith, his relationships, and the future he thought he was meant to live. Choosing authenticity came with real consequences—but it also opened the door to a life rooted in purpose rather than fear. In this episode of At the Podium, Jonathan and Patrick Huey explore faith, identity, courage, and the ongoing work of becoming more fully ourselves. They discuss Leadership Brainery's mission to expand access to graduate education, the importance of representation and leadership, the freedom that comes from living truthfully, and why "coming home" is less about a place than learning to live in alignment with who you are. Whether you're navigating change, questioning your purpose, or simply searching for the courage to live more honestly, this conversation is an invitation to consider what becomes possible when fear no longer gets the final word.
