Instead of interviewing someone else, Just As Special host Natasha is actually in the hot seat this time thanks to House of Pod’s From the Margins to the Center podcast.

They generously gave us permission to run this interview on our show and we hope you enjoy going behind the scenes of the Just As Special podcast!

Natasha also talks about how Just As Special moves beyond the microphone to build resources and community for foster families.
