We Don’t Pod No Stinkin’ Badgers!Season 1, Episode 15 — October 1, 2025 · 54 minsThis week on Sometimes a Great Podcast we open with origin beats and the platform drop. The pod is now available iTunes & Spotify— including all of our previous episodes. Then we’ll suit up for Deadline: ODHS (5:12) beginning with guidance on how ODHS is responding to the partial shutdown of the federal government. Then, we’ll power up with reminders about Trauma Aware Workforce Support & Community Connection Groups and a six-month Service Equity Manager rotation. In FACT of the Week (10:10) we’ll preview the Federal Actions Coordination Team’s October 13 webinar on federal changes. While in Survivor, Oregon (11:57) the field team assembles for seven rapid-response vignettes—from Texas flood deployments to SATRunner internet restores and EBT-theft prevention—showing how ODHS staff keep communities safe. And finally, The Big Picture (23:04) lands in Burns and District 14 for a front-line conversation about distance, creativity, and community. No capes, no CGI—just ODHS staff as the real superheroes: resilience, tools, and teamwork on full display.To access the referenced Discover stories away from the OWL, go to (or search in your web browser for):Newsroom: Oregon Department of Human Services and look for“Podcast Stories: Oct. 1, 2025.”
