The host and her guests are former foster care youths, who departed the system only when they aged out starting on their 18th birthdays. They have opinions about what they went through, things they would have liked to know at the time, questions they would have asked others their age — if only they’d had the chance. This podcast, now in its second season, is an attempt to fill the gap and share their wisdom with teens still in foster care across the country.

Podcast gives former foster youths a voice. They have lots to discuss.

Filled with the spirit of the universe, it is both good and bad, and manifests its duality on a formal level in several ways: realization of a kind of "crossing over" between two myths; for one of these myths, the inversion of its inverted version; the original inversion of this version; the inversion of a "straight" version of the other myth and the original inversion (but on a different axis) of the latter. Despite this rather complex conclusion, the problem is far from exhausted. There is a Karaja myth (M 177) which we have not analyzed in order not to make the exposition too long, although in some respects it is like an inverted version of the Kachúyana myth of the origin of curare (M 161). Here we are told of a hero who is cured of his ulcers by a snake and who also receives from it magic arrows with which he destroys a race of cannibalistic monkeys of the Guariba species. These arrows are not poisoned, quite the opposite, because it is necessary to weaken them with a magic ointment, otherwise they will turn against the user (Ehrenreich, p. 84 ff.; Krause, p. 347-350).
