Where the Podcast Began: “A Raft to Drift Upon” — Episode 1

Every podcast starts somewhere. The Poetic Bipolar Mind podcast started with a raft. Episode 1, “A Raft to Drift Upon,” is Kiana Jimenez’s spoken-word poem about the thing that keeps us afloat when the storm rages on — a shelter through the thunder’s might, a beacon glowing in the night, the thread that ties the heart to hope.
