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.

McKinleyCast is back with a brand new episode and a new guest- Harold Joins us to discuss this surprisingly controversial episode of Freaks and Geeks. I found myself very surprised to see how differently the members of this group saw the characters and situations. We hope you all find the discussion interesting, and see your viewpoint in one of ours. Join us! We’d love it if you’d join us on facebook and lend your voice to the discussion- we want to hear what the listeners think! (Especially if what you think is that this life is just the dream of a dog.)…

In this episode, The Freaks battle love on all sides, while the Geeks learn a little more then they wanted to know about it (no- Daniel doesn’t supply them with another porno)- but they lose just as much innocence. Meanwhile, we the hosts of McKinleycast are glad to be back! We hope you join us as we navigate this episode, decide who won, grade it, and read your feedback. Then, if you’re so inclined- join us after the music as we shot the breeze with each other. Our discussion topics include: Sushi, fish pills, exercise, movies and TV (but not freaky storms- I ended up cutting that all out).…

It’s time for another McKinleycast! (It’s been 4 months, so….yeah) This week we watched Looks and Books and many cringed as Sam bought that Parisian Nightsuit knowing what was coming that next morning and all rejoiced as Lindsay told off the freaks in a spectacular way and shed her army jacket for a very sensible outfit she maybe borrowed from Millie. No- it belonged to the old Lindsay we never met. Same thing. But anyways, hopefully the newbies were able to shelf their dislike of embarrassment humor long enough to enjoy this classic episode of Freaks and Geeks.…

McKinleycast Episode #10 “The Diary” 2:02:39

We’re back again with another installment, discussing the awkwardness that is McKinley High School. In this episode Bill decides he wants to be given a chance to play baseball in gym class and through creative means actually succeeds. Lindsay and Kim’s budding friendship takes a hit when the Weirs invite Kim’s mom to dinner and they get some terrible parenting advice from a terrible parent. This leads to Jean cooking strange foods like cornish game hens for dinner instead of pot roast in an effort not to be a robot (which leads to Harold making his hen do the can-can instead of eat it. Not surprisingly, Jean decides to go back to pot roast, because Harold looooooooves pot roast. Join Rich, Caitrin, Ayse, Carol and Emily (When she isn’t on mute trying to calm an ear infected child) and special guest Matt Triest as they discuss this maybe not the most beloved episode of Freaks and Geeks that is out there. But the worst episode of Freaks and Geeks is still a great show filled with classic great moments am I right?…

Find out what the newbies thought about Sam becoming the mascot and how well everyone thought Jean did breaking up with Nick for Lindsay. Plus we get into the deep questions like: is Todd shy or just a jerk? And- is it really Creepy to show up at your girlfriend’s house in the middle of the night in a hoody, stare in her bedroom window and then stare at her face and go back home? (The answer Dean, is yes). Meanwhile, Carol does her best to keep the McKinleycast crew on topic. Join us and guess what? The next episode WILL be out next week– what?

McKinleycast Episode #08 “Girlfriends and Boyfriends” 1:53:26

hace 11 years1:53:26

1:53:26

In this iconic episode of Freaks and Geeks, we see Lindsay and Nick together at last. Then we see absolutely every person around her stick their nose in her love life, which is a lot for one teenage girl to take. Plus her new boyfriend spells wait “wate”. Is this a relationship killer? Tune in. Meanwhile, the geeks get new lab partners and Sam is hoping to get paired up with the girl of his dreams. Well that didn’t quite happen, but at least Bill did… Well, all isn’t lost as his partner is good for some advice and Sam tries some of his tactics. But does all this only manage to land him in the dreaded “friends” category? Tune in for that too. Then tune into the end to experience one of the greatest (see: creepy) heartfelt tributes ever sung to a high school girlfriend and then let the creepy cuddling commence! Listen to the hosts of McKinleycast pull apart this episode to see what’s really inside. You might even hear us all get very deep about such subjects as drugs and God (unless Rich edited that part out- I haven’t listened to the podcast yet). Did all the newbies even like it? I don’t know (yes I do). Tune in!…

We’re here again (so soon!), with another McKinleycast as promised. Join us while we chat about the episode that caused us to get up, put on our shirts and say, “Hot Dog! Let me at ’em” and yes, we actually said the words “hot dog”.) In this episode the freaks get fake ID’s courtesy of Lindsey’s aunt and uncle to try to sneak into a bar to see a “great” local band (but the lead singer is a bit of a shocker to them). Meanwhile the geeks meet a new transfer student and then try everything in their power to keep her in their little group. This episode is packed with laughs, Canadian ID’s, giant rockets, a rooster, and exciting guest stars. McKinleycast had a guest star of our own, DVM Podcast Empire’s Dave Maresca. We promise laughs and good times all around!…

McKinleycast: Off Topic Conversation 1:41:34

hace 11 years1:41:34

1:41:34

Hey there, our beloved Freaks and Geeks: Yes, we have been running into obstacles getting these shows out, but we are still here. Last Sunday for instance, we were going to record an episode but things went wrong and we ended up just chatting. Rich was recording, so we thought- hey why don’t we just release this? Emily edited it, so it didn’t take away from any if Rich’s precious editing time– so having this episode does not mean we spent time on it instead of spending time on Carded and Discarded. This is just something to listen to instead of listening to nothing. It’s mostly a lot of random TV stuff, with quite a bit of random other stuff sprinkled in. Such as: Rich tries to unravel the mysteries of “who exactly of his friends is on Facebook at any given time?”, we all ponder, “is David Boreanaz a good actor?” And we all jump onto the question of utmost importance…”SHERLOCK OR ELEMENTARY??!!” (A no brainer if you ask me. Look on our facebook page, we just may have a poll up about this all important question.) Join us for all of that and more and decide for yourself which one of the McKinleycast hosts has the weirdest phobia. If this doesn’t appeal to you- we invite you to just skip it and wait for Carded and Discarded (coming soon). * We really were just chatting with each other- so there are a few minor spoilers for a few shows, nothing catastrophic -except for Angel- but I come in and warn you when it’s about to happen* Sincerely, Emily and the rest of the Freaky and Geeky McKinleycast hosts…

McKinleycast is back after the holidays with a brand new episode discussing I’m With the Band! Join us as we watch the freaks do as high school garage bands do by playing badly, fight over the name, fight over the practices, and play badly. Then break up. Meanwhile the geeks are faced with the charge of showering in gym class and it ends up more nightmarish than Sam could have imagined. At least his giant blue dot impressed the cool kids. But did it impress the newbies? Speaking of which, we are joined this week by Introcast superstar Bob DeGrande, listen as he brings his newbie thoughts live and in person to our podcast. What’s better than 3 newbies? 4!…

When Mr. Kowchevski threatens to force Daniel to repeat algebra for another year if he doesn’t pass an upcoming test, Lindsay offers to help him study for it. Instead, Lindsay finds herself helping Daniel to cheat after Daniel manages to steal a test from the teacher’s office and he asks Lindsay to help him fill in the answers. Mr. Kowchevski, suspicious of Daniel’s surprisingly high grade, accuses the duo of cheating. When Lindsay becomes unsure of what to do, Daniel tells her they should deny everything. Sam begins sex education class and Daniel tries to help Sam with questions he has by giving him a pornographic film. After viewing it, he is even more confused.…

McKinleycast epsiode #04 “Kim Kelly is My Friend” 1:48:51

hace 11 years1:48:51

1:48:51

Wait… what did that say? After Tricks and Treats, Kim Kelly is the last person in the world I would want to call my friend. Sure she is negative. Sure everything out of her mouth thus far has been rude. Sure she acts out in horrible ways when something or someone is the least bit threatening to her. Is there possibly a reason for that? Could we perhaps get a glimmer into this monster’s psyche and chip a piece of her facade away? Will it be enough? More importantly to this podcast- will it be enough for the newbies not to hate her with the intensity of a thousand suns? Listen to the latest McKinleycast episode covering the most heavy subject matter to date on Freaks and Geeks (and two count them TWO epically awkward dinner scenes back to back). This episode seems to hit the apex of uncomfortable scenes in the show, some so uncomfortable NBC refused to air it. Luckily we like that about this show and they are also intermingled with scenes of a stoned Nick magically procuring Jean’s fruit rolls out of thin air to satisfy his munchies (but don’t worry, he always politely asks before eating them). Join the McKinleycast crew (CCARE? RACE-C? CREAC?) and Guest Kelly Jo as we tackle the ups and downs that is Kim Kelly is My Friend. Oh yeah, and Sam is a pygmy geek. And Karen from The American Office is a bully and a slut. Good times had by all.…

Hope you are all still in the Halloween spirit because Halloween has come to… well some nondescript area in the outskirts of Detroit and the holiday is just not what it used to be. While Jean and Sam desperately try to cling on to Halloweens past, Lindsay desperately tries to fit in with her new friends. Will everything magically work out where everyone wins in the end? Um, kind of…but this is Freaks and Geeks so not really. We do however get to see Joe Flaherty don a vampire costume again, so at least we win. Halloween also came to McKinleycast. This episode is coming to you despite great odds (or poltergeist or demon or Mose), we had to fight them all over two separate attempts. So please excuse the chaos and malfunctions , blame it on Halloween, and sit back and enjoy the semi coherent ramblings of the McKinleycast crew PLUS special guest Nutty Nuchtchas!…
