In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

We’re excited to present a very special episode: it’s our first ever 'Ask Two Cat Kitchen’ show! The Two Cat research team has been hard at work getting to the bottom of two listener-submitted queries. First up, the age-old question- who invented rock and roll?

As a follow up to our discussion we posted a curated playlist with our choices of early rock and roll songs on our YouTube channel! It features a chronological look at some of the songs that laid the groundwork for the development of the genre in the early 50’s. Next, we dive into the history of apple pie: Sara Grady helps us figure it all out and provides some unique insights into apples in general. As always, we have some new songs and this week we’re featuring a video recipe- Amazing Apple Pie with Arya and Bryce! Thanks again for listening- here’s the show!
