Welcome to The Purple Zone
Bridging the Gap Between Public Policy, Practice, & People.

The Purple Zone dives deep into what it truly means to align governance, education, and community life. It explores how policies on paper translate into real-world impact—and where the gaps and tensions lie.

Through thoughtful conversations and stories, this podcast uncovers the complexities behind systems that shape our communities—without the usual politics or platitudes.

It’s about naming what often goes unsaid, opening space for honest dialogue, and championing a human-centered approach to public policy in action.

Plus, hear Thinking Out Loud reflections from a PhD student navigating the academic and lived realities of policy and practice.

  • “Hosted by Alexis Morgan, a passionate education expert and parent of four, the podcast aims to educate and empower community members to 'be engaged and part of making a positive impact' within their local school communities.”

    – Idaho Ed News

  • “I would love for this idea to grow into something that fills the state. That people will engage in the meaningful work of creating connection in their local communities."

    –Alexis Morgan
