Nile Cappello (@liketheriver_) is back!
You might remember her from this:
Here’s a link to that story, “The Girl in the Picture.”
And she’s back, this time to talk about kidfluencer culture in “Crushed.” Brace yourself, CNFers, this one’s a doozie.

And she’s back with another killer podcast called Burn Wild, taking a look at far-left extremism, particularly the environmental movement of the 1990s with the Environmental Liberation Front.
It’s what I’ve come to expect from Leah: Deeply researched and thoroughly written, delivered in her pull-up-a-stool narration.

You’re in for a treat because Damon Brown is back on the show!

Damon’s also the author of Career Remix: Get the Gig You Want with the Skills You’ve Got.
