Why we started the Othering Podcast

The Othering Podcast was truly started with one simple goal: to help people. Dory has always felt the strong desire to help people, initially thinking she was called to the medical field or law field, but later finding her calling right here.

Much like 1920s Germany, the marginalized are the first to be targeted. Being a member of these communities, we feel deep empathy for all of those affected and being torn from their homes, losing their rights. To combat these injustices we all need to stand up to the wrongs and scream what’s right.

Perhaps you can’t march or walk the streets, that’s okay. We all need to fight back and our voices are as powerful as our actions. We understand this and know the true importance of providing a safe space to share and to rant. Thus, the Othering Podcast was born.

The political climate it so harsh and turbulent right now, it can often be hard to cope with on the podcast, with us, you are safe. Safe to speak and safe to be you, the real you. We see the beauty in all of you even if you have been othered before. We are all worthy of love and of a space to tell your story, to share your feelings, to complain of the injustices.

That is why we started the podcast. To help. To fight. And to support each of you who have been othered. To allow you at least just one hour of you - authentic you.
