Episode 17 was recorded on Sunday October 16th at 116 Crown in New Haven.

I was joined by my “Spock”, Duo Dickinson, along 116 Crown’s John Ginetti, social media "gurette" Suzi Craig (she live Tweeted the session), personal organizing expert Elizabeth Larkin, and composer, educator, mathematician, inventor and iPhone app developer, Harlan Brothers. (Harlan is also a big Albert Brooks fan. You'll have to listen.)

We told stories about how to best share your condolences (Duo likes handwritten notes), colds, recycling guilt (or "re-guilt", as Suzi calls it), and smartphone addiction.

Is there anything I've missed? What would YOU like to talk about?

The independent journalism and non-commercial programming you rely on every day is in danger.

If you’re reading this, you believe in trusted journalism and in learning without paywalls. You value access to educational content kids love and enriching cultural programming.

Now all of that is at risk.

Federal funding for public media is under threat and if it goes, the impact to our communities will be devastating.

Together, we can defend it. It’s time to protect what matters.

Your voice has protected public media before. Now, it’s needed again. Learn how you can protect the news and programming you depend on.
