LAGRALANE SPIRITS
We’re Jason and Yvonne Lee. Husband, wife, father, mother, actors, producers, seekers, educators, and explorers of identity. Lagralane Spirits is a delicious podcast where we invite you into our living room for a family spirit symposium, a real-talk meeting of the minds over reverent cocktails. Each week we examine an important topic related to identity that not only is about our own history and how we identify, but is also rooted in social issues, historical events and even a little genealogy. We get into some heavy stuff that often needs the light lift of a cocktail. Therefore, each episode includes a curated cocktail that we then share with a guest as we ask them their “Cocktail Confession” in relation to that episode’s topic. It’s a lot of fun! So, join us as we dive back in time to examine the legacy of our ancestors that have shaped the stories of our shared cultural history. By the way, you can find all of our original cocktail recipes and show notes on lagralanespirits.org. And as always, please enjoy responsibly!

WHAT IF IT DIDN'T HAPPEN?
Our world has been woven by small, innocuous events that changed history forever. A letter that was never written, or a meeting that didn't occur, or a freak weather event. Tiny happenings that could have easily not taken place, changed history forever. This podcast explores how the world would be different if these events didn't occur. My goal is for the listener to learn, be provoked into thought, and be entertained
