Welcome new friends!
This project is pretty new but there is much more to come. Hope you will share and follow along.
I love hearing about those words other languages have for describing the human experience. Words that we don't have. Words that express the complexity of living and relating to each other. Is there a word for these words?
Here is a beautiful montage of them. You'll want to listen again and again, I know.
When you're done go check out the full episode from this wonderful new show out of the CBC, Love Me. It's beautiful. Really looking forward to more!
There are many mind blowing moments in this Call Your Girlfriend interview with philanthropist Ruth Ann Harnisch, but dang this one is just what all you lady creators need to hear. Go get'em! We need your voices. Thank you.
I just love Ira's perspective on how to be a great boss/collaborator and the pleasure of his job and flying in air planes.
This comes from a stellar episode of Longform Podcast. Get over there and listen. This is one of my favorite Ira interviews because it's so under the hood and real.
This is a poignant piece of tape for all parents to listen to. Particularly for dads. So true. So honest and surprising.

Go Subscribe! They also have an app. Which I must say is an under the radar bit of innovation in podcasting. Hillary you need to toot this horn a little louder. Kiss kiss.
Adding a new one to the list today. What's the Point. Only three episodes in and I'm hooked and had to share some clips immediately. I've been waiting for a show like this and who is better to create it than Five Thirty Eight (Nate Silver's thang) and with a great host and radio/podcast veteran Jody Avirgan.
Now enjoy some tasty bits from the Neil deGrasse Tyson chat.
"Don't confuse science literacy with possessing a body of knowledge.."
"We're both wrong..."
"That's not an informed democracy. I don't know what that is..."
OMG ever since I first heard this back in 2011 I always hear it in my head when I see twins. I love Josh. Can I come have lunch with you? The story is by Jonathan Goldstein who I also adore.

From All Songs Considered The Songs That Make Us Cry Episode. Christopher Paul Stelling talks about a Tom Waits song.

The full discussion of the song.

I think we're all pretty excited about Starlee Kine's new show on Gimlet Media. I can't say enough about Case #3 The Belt Buckle, just go listen to it now. She uncovered gold with that one. It's a perfect example of the promise of this show.
This week I was tickled by this lovely little metaphor for time passing. Enjoy.
