'Twas the nightmare before Halloween with Carol (Adams) Hargis
Carol and I talk about old times and future plans. The road ahead may be shorter than the road behind, but there are more conversations and stories to be explored, but no more apple bobbing... that's kind of gross.

Surviving Cincinnati with Lynne Penland Szul
Working with 600 kids a year in social emotional learning seems like one of those cat herding exercises, but Lynne did that too. Along the way, we explore benign neglect and debate when Nicolas Cage most resembled a puppy. Our journeys take and shape us in unexpected ways, but you can still trace that thru line. When can we outline your story?

in session with Lana Lin
This is repost of a conversation from last year. Lana has a reading of her new book The Autobiography Of H. Lan Tao Lam at Women & Children First in Chicago on November 6. In this episode, Lana and I compare notes about growing up, personal finance and psychoanalysis. We walked different paths but shared a lot. You will have to buy her book to know her near fiction story, but she gives us a sneak preview.

Cycling through names, towns, and athletic shoes, Andy continues to move through life. We talk about his bonding experiences with a scientist father (I knew it was someone! sorry Brenda), the trauma of show and tell, and the treachery of the Russians.
When can we hear your story?

Designing a Connection with Amanda Dussault
Amanda and I talk about Art and the Zen of Rigid Heddle Loom Maintenance. Along the way we get in some thoughts about travel, family, and the way we work. Being hopelessly out of my competence zone has never stopped me from talking, and this is no exception. When can we talk with you?

Whatever Happened to Brenda Windsor Lionetti?
Brenda triggers my deep feelings of inadequacy. And I lash back by ridiculing her taste in men. Okay, maybe it was not quite as dramatic as that, but you must admit that you are intrigued enough to press play.
