Here are some of the magazine's I've written for: Mirabella, Men’s Health, Mademoiselle, Best Life, Verge ...

At all of the above I was a contributing editor. And Verge was a long-gone Times-Mirror imprint, not to be confused with the hip new The Verge. I also wrote for Cosmo (don’t ask), Metropolitan Home, New Woman, Forbes FYI, Bicycling (where I may even now be a contributing editor), Backpacking, TWA Ambassador (I think that’s what it was called), Commonweal.
 
In all of these cases, I was essentially writing for the print product, the thing that arrives in the mail or on the newsstand. But when I think about how I read magazines these days, it's a very different story. And that's what our show is about today.

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.
