Grab a seat in the front room with Nadia, Fran, and Eugene, three practicing social workers who turn their shared profession into a compelling weekly conversation. The Social Matters Podcast is where the theoretical meets the practical, as they unpack the social, cultural, and scientific dimensions of the issues shaping our communities. You’ll hear the kind of debate that only happens between trusted friends-direct, informed, and often challenging, but never without warmth.

This podcast digs into the why and how of society’s structures, offering listeners not just analysis but a sense of shared understanding. Tune in for a perspective that is both grounded in daily reality and thoughtfully connected to broader educational and cultural currents.
