About Podcast Shows

Welcome to the Lizinstep Podcast Network: Where Journeys Connect.

From exploring local culture to honoring sacred sacrifices, every show I produce tells a story that needs to be heard. As the creator behind Primetime89, The Apple Lounge, The Happy Hour Hawaii, Motherhood Unfiltered, and now Every Boot Has a Story, my mission remains the same: to foster understanding and empathy through genuine human connection.

Here, we move past clinical details to embrace the authentic humanity in our struggles, lessons, and family life. Step into inspiring community narratives that celebrate our unique paths, heal our hearts, and remind us how closely we are all bound together.

The Apple Lounge

The APPLE LOUNGE a podcast is committed to giving voice to the heart of education. This podcast will explore how educators can leverage their collective wisdom to enhance the educational landscape. The series is a dedicated space for educators to engage in dialogue to foster collaboration, share experiences, and seek peer support. Co-Hosted by Kim Stewart and Patty Zika.

The Apple Lounge EXCHANGE is a book club where teachers and readers come together to share ideas about books and exchange books.

Every Boot Has A Story

EVERY BOOT HAS A STORY is a companion narrative podcast to the Boot Memorial Hero & Remembrance Run, an annual living tribute held on historic Ford Island at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Hosted by the memorial's founder and military spouse, Theresa Johnson. Each episode transitions a name and a photo on a boot into a living history. While the physical memorial beautifully displays nearly 9,000 combat boots representing every American service member lost since September 11, 2001, the podcast serves as a digital extension of this sacred space.

"Our mission is to foster community healing for grieving families, survivors, Gold Star communities, and veterans, ensuring no sacrifice fades and every loss is remembered."
