Worked out fine on night shift as supervisor
This isn’t a bad little show. I first listened to this podcast when I worked in Dubuque as a caseworker because somebody left it open on a computer monitor. It was all right. Then quitting DSHS, moving, getting hired as Ward Admin I at Heartland Psych near Bloomington a year ago, I listened to it more often—especially after they hired the second Crystina. She was the mopiest front desk person I ever met, a real distraction to everybody at work. During night shift, I put the podcast on the speakers to keep that girl’s mind off all her clucking and sighing and wiping a tear. Privately to myself I gave her the surname “Blue,” ha ha! Crystina Blue for all her sadness. I am also Crystina (Crystina Mostad), lead supervisor @ 60 hours per week with my staffers Snake and Ruth but when that Crystina Blue came on board, nights became a real circus and that wasn’t even counting the patients. She was the type to need minding. On her very first shift she’s telling me that cotton threads like clothes and shirts, are poisonous, full of toxics, so I tell her calm down, we can still live long lives in clothes. On her second shift, I played that long episode about the soul music guy two times over, and that seemed to calm her. Not that the show’s host isn’t a little snooty but overall I would say that the podcast’s got some legs! One night about 4 a.m. I had to go and tell Crystina Blue to get hold of her weeping bout at the computer and to quit using up my printer paper drawing and coloring dragons, and she’s telling me she’s not really crying but just “responding” because the medical director Don Warm (who’s now dead basically of stridor) had nastymacked her girlfriend. Well that could be painful, I don’t know. But I would NEVER find myself in that situation. Crystina Blue’s the stuck-in-a-rut-for-two-years type. Plus if she’s so worried about environmental poisons, why’d she keep a stick of gungy butter in her top desk drawer? After a couple months, I got promoted to Lead Admin of of Ward A2 anyway, so clearly I moved ahead. I got a raise and the other Crystina was basically left behind in the dust. I think she’s in California now where she belongs. Four stars. [by Stacey Levine]

This podcast is so creative and eclectic. It has everything from interviews with authors and musicians, to odd short radio plays, to in-depth looks at topics like sound design. I love the Believer, and I love the Organist!
