Hi guys. Jill’s story is by far my favorite Risk story ever! I love her voice, I love her tone, I love her rhythm. And that music!!
Fantastic job! Well done 🙂
Thanks so much Jewel! One bit of trivia about that story is that all the music, spanning lots of decades and genres, is by African-American artists.
What are the music tracks behind this story?

Amazing podcast this week. Jill’s story was so enthralling. I sat in my car in the parking lot at work for 10 minutes because I couldn’t wait until after work to hear the end. The women in her family are my heroes!
OMGGGGG Jill Chenault’s story is EVERYTHING!!!!!
She and the women in her family are a force to be reckoned with – this story is inspirational!! <3<3<3
Jill Chenault’s story pumped me up at work so much! I was like fuck yea, no one is gonna fuck with me! Lol I loved it.
Just listened to this show…wow! Jill’s story was incredible and just sucked you right in! I’m glad that the women in her family were smart, strong, and made sure they had each other’s back.
Ms. Chenault’s story was auditory heaven. On all levels. That is all.
Jill Chenault –
I do not know you. I have never met you. Yet, all of the EVERYTHING in your story IS my story. Your voice is light, breezy, beautiful – and to those of us who are familiar – unrelentingly formidable.
My story is the “Roadside Assistance” story after yours in the Black Lives Matter Series.
Thank you so much for sharing. I’m going to have a very long talk with Kevin about your story. It did all of the things a Risk story is supposed to do – and then some.
