Re-release KLAUS (w/Tim Rasmussen)
50m · PublishedEver wonder what the connection between an Academy Award-nominated Holiday movie and PeacePlayers’ core values is? Us too! That’s why we’ve brought back the host of the PopViolence Podcast, Tim Rasmussen, to discuss the critically acclaimed 2019 animated film, Klaus. In today’s holiday, bonus episode of Play It Forward, a social justice podcast presented by PeacePlayers, you’ll hear Chinny, Emmett, and Tim discuss the animation style, the stereotypes of Christmas and Holiday movies, whether or not Tim thinks the Nightmare Before Christmas is a Christmas movie AND the systems of violence and oppression that exist within our societies, even during the holiday season. This is a great, light conversation for anyone who enjoys a holiday movie, and also enjoys thinking more critically about the media we consume over the holidays.
Be sure to follow and listen to Tim’s podcast, PopViolence: movie/film reviews that interlace critical perspectives about violence, justice, conflict, and peace! Follow it on Instagram @pop.violence

Love & Basketball (w/Evan Unrau & Seb Kimyacioglu, OLY)
56m · PublishedIn today’s episode of the social justice podcast Play It Forward presented by PeacePlayers, power couple Evan Unrau and Seb Kimyacioglu share their personal journeys from playing collegiate basketball to falling in love. Seb Kimyacioglu is a former professional basketball player having won trophies with Galatasaray in Turkey, represented Turkey at the Rio Olympics, and now works for the FOX corporation! Evan, also a former professional basketball player, went down the coaching route and shares with us some of those experiences that led her to her current role as director of PeacePlayers Los Angeles. We ultimately arrive at how their two journeys were interconnected and led them both to be confident and comfortable with who they are, which allows them to be their fullest selves in their relationship with each other, their peers, and the people they engage with. AND we also get to hear who they think would win in a one-on-one match-up. As Chinny says at the top of the episode, we were originally hoping to share this during Pride month in June, BUT let’s make EVERY month PRIDE MONTH!

Feel all the feelings (w/Lynn Lyons)
58m · PublishedLynn Lyons is a psychotherapist specializing in addressing anxiety in children and adults. What’s that got to do with the social justice podcast Play It Forward presented by PeacePlayers? WELL, we hear from Lynn [something about bringing ppl in that don’t believe anxiety is a thing], and the relationship between sports and anxiety - the positives and negatives. The real-world lessons that we often lift up from sports - failure, pressure, success, teamwork - are essential experiences that are also applicable to anxiety and our mental health. But before all that she shares her recipe for addressing anxiety, you’d be surprised how easy it is!
