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?

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
