A Sense of Peace.
There is not much I can say about Ologies or Allie Ward that hasn’t already been covered in the comments/reviews that precede mine. However, I can share a moment I think both listeners of the podcast and Allie herself would appreciate. I’m a book nerd so bear with me as I try my to tell this story. I recently began volunteering in the Greenhouse/Nursery located within The Bok Tower Gardens here in Florida. Waking in to this overwhelmingly serene greenhouse was a moment I couldn’t help but feel thankful for. Maybe it was the realization of how beautiful floral varieties could be or perhaps it was the calmness that washed over me as irrigation lines began their work and insulation fans continued their everlasting fight against humidity. But, something about that moment felt sacred to me, the equivalent of stepping in to a chapel filled with hand stained glass & polished marble floors. I continued my shift doing anything I could, from trimming overgrowth to repotting plants and spreading mulch. But, as the time for lunch came and staff made their way towards their afternoon meal. I was left in this serenity that was simply water, air, and earth. Left here “deadheading” plant species, I was transfixed in the beauty that surrounded me and as the moment struck noon, the tower bell began its song and my world was filled a chime that signaled that the day was half complete. But, it was in this moment that of all things, Ologies & Allie Ward came to mind. I wondered what Allie would feel in this moment, would she be overcome by the beauty of it all and shed a tear or would she be lost in her thoughts reminiscing about her father who recently passed? No, that wasn’t the impression I came away with, what I truly believe ol’ Dad Ward would have felt was Peace. Peace to know she was good enough and that her life was her own to define and despite the circumstances that may surround her, there was still beauty left in the world to uncover. Thank you for the work that you do, Allie et al. You are truly appreciated. If you ever need a book to pass the time, Joan by Katherine J. Chen is what inspired me to write today. Keep your head up, Dad Ward. With Sincerity, Surin

As a fully grown adult I didn’t think I would continue to enjoy learning things but Ologies has of course proven me wrong! Alie and her guests discuss each topic with such passion and the guests are so interesting! 10/10 would listen again!

Alie Ward does an amazing job with any podcast she is a part of, but this one is amazing. Alie has a great way of explaining science topics for the everyman. I look forward to listening to this podcast for years to come.
