Welcome to Episode 194 of the Tangential Inspiration Podcast. We have some amazing stories sure to inspire you. We start off with a woman who is changing the lives of children in Africa, abandoned by their families, because they are accused of being witches. Then there is the incredible story of Harriet Tubman, and her tale is much more interesting than what you may have learned in history class. We have the story of a storm chaser, Ryan Hall, who is making a difference both predicting extreme weather, and helping the survivors. There are a few other quick stories, but this episode is overloaded with inspiration. Come have a listen.

Sorry for the sporadic schedule, it has been a busy few weeks. We will try to get back on a regular schedule in June. That, however, does not mean this episode is not full to the brim with inspiration. We have some history on a teenage Civil Rights activist, some innovative prisons that are focusing on reform rather than just confinement, and a plant scientist who did more to fight world hunger than any person in history. There is so much inspiration to be had, come and get some.
