"Sometimes a Great Podcast" is not just a podcast about the people of ODHS. It's also about appreciating the state in which they live and work, and most importantly, the people they support. That starts with our title, one based in the literary, cinematic, pop culture and lived history of our state itself.

If you're interested in knowing more about the hosts of "Sometimes a Great Podcast," Dr. Bethany Grace Howe and Shenika, this is a quick introduction to both of them.

Each week on Sometimes a Great Podcast there segments that run every time, and others that run some of the time. All of them, however, are based in titles from 50 years of pop culture titles and fun. This show is your guide to knowing what's what - and why we chose the names in the first place.
