With the amount of time we spend in our cars, waiting for appointments, and performing household chores such as laundry and dishes, there lies the opportunity to also use this time to learn about causes we care out, be inspired by individuals making a difference in the lives of the under served, and to be reminded of the progress we’re making on some of our largest and most challenging social ills. The following are a few of our favorite social impact podcasts:
