We are back for season 4! We have a great lineup this season, and can’t wait to learn from our guests alongside our listeners!

The first episode of the season will post on Monday, July 5. We’re joined by evaluator and recent author Chari Smith. We talk with Chari about her new book, her approach to building a culture of evaluation with her clients, and (on a tangent we couldn’t resist) her background in and passion for music and theater.

Chari was the perfect guest for the first episode of the season, which we’re using to loosely explore the theme of inclusion. How can we be more inclusive of others’ perspectives when doing evaluation? How can we be more inclusive of program participants’ lived experiences when developing evaluation plans and collecting data? How can we as evaluators be more open to others’ experiences and, more importantly, include those voices to make our work better? Chari takes an intentionally inclusive approach to building capacity, and we learned a lot from our conversation with her.

Throughout the season, we will continue to drop episodes on the first Monday of every month. As in the past, if you have questions or topics you want to see explored on the podcast, please reach out at https://glassfrog.us/contact-us/. We love hearing from our listeners!

We look forward to “seeing” you next week!
