Amplify Good
63 episodes - English - Latest episode: 2 months ago - ★★★★★ - 6 ratingsAmplify Good is a podcast that explores the good things people are doing to improve society. Listen in as we talk to super cool people from all walks of life to learn how they do good each day, how they affect change and stand up for what’s right. We explore how they fold their values into their work and create goodness outside of work hours, and how they balance the urgency of good work against being present for their own lives. Join Aria Camaione-Lind and her team each month as they talk with the people doing good in their communities!

Aria and Husna met at a time when they needed each other, and their friendship grew into a practice of mutual admiration and care.

Episode 7: Erudite Man
November 24, 2020 05:00 - 54 minutes - 44 MBChristopher Coles Trigger Warning: Audio contains conversation about police violence against Black men and racially explicit language. Listen. Christopher sent Aria the shortest bio ever- but when you’re Christopher Coles, do you really need a long bio?

He means a lot to Aria and she’s so excited for you to listen to this chat- one of her favorite parts is when Christopher shares his thought...

September 29, 2020 08:08 - 25 minutes - 23 MBBrian Lee Whisenhunt, Executive Director, The Rockwell Museum Aria and Brian’s friendship is so new that Aria mispronounced his last name in the first take of their podcast interview!

Both museum nerds (sorry, Brian), they met at a Museum Association of New York conference and have been tracking on each other ever since. Brian Lee W...

Deb looked like a princess- she had on a smart summer suit, her hair was in beautiful long braids, and she was a vision to behold. Aria had been packing fitness kits in the 5 million degree gym, and was hot, sweaty, grimy and tired. Deb was gracious and kind; Aria was out of sorts and embarrassed. That beginning led to a deep frien...
