Joanne Brokaw is an award-winning writer, improvisor, and the author of two books: What the Dog Said, and other adventures in everyday life, and most recently, Suddenly Stardust: A memoir (of sorts) about fear, freedom & improv. Despite her list of creative accomplishments, for most of her career she’s been a chronic ‘fraidy cat with a terminal case of procrastination. Then she discovered improvisational comedy. Now she leads workshops, performs regularly with her improv and comedy teams, and tries to “Yes, And” life’s curveballs.

Joanne talks about her journey into improv, the foundations of improv and how they can apply to your life, how fear can stop you from pursuing your purpose, and the freedom that comes from learning how to wrangle fear.

Three songs that would be on the soundtrack of her life: 1st song: “(Theme From) The Monkees”; 2nd song: “Boogie Shoes” by KC and the Sunshine Band; and 3rd song: “Hand in My Pocket” by Alanis Morissette.

Molly Campbell, UNH Lecturer and dear friend, joins me to have a new year/all in conversation. There’s such a pull at the beginning of a new year to make New Year’s Resolutions, but so many of us struggle with sticking with it. So Molly and I wanted to share where we are now and what our plans for 2020 are to make it the most successful year yet.

We talk about setting goals that are attainable for our physical, spiritual, emotional, family, and professional growth. We shared two motivational songs during the episode to help us do the work: 1st song: “Circles” by Soul Coughing and 2nd song: “If Not Now, When?” by Incubus

Krista Jackman is a Principal Lecturer and Co-director of The HUGEmanities Project with the Englsih Department at UNH. I have had the pleasure of working under the HUGEmanities umbrella with Krista and Molly Campbell, as we create more opportunities for UNH and NHCC students to engage in humanities projects.

Krista talks about what the HUGEmanities initiative is, what projects they’ve completed this year, and what the plan is for 2020. There are great opportunities for students, educators, and business owners through this HUGEmanities project.

Three songs that speak to the humanities: 1st song: “Romeo and Juliet” by Dire Straits

Having a humanities education gives you a framework for understanding the world. The narrative is global, but not as many people read Shakespeare today! So this education lets people understand the world in a way that they might not otherwise.

2nd song: “Morning Has Broken” by Cat Stevens

This (I think?) is a song about opportunity. Each day brings a new one, and that is really what we’re trying to focus on – creating opportunity for the young people around us, and showing them how they are already poised for taking on the opportunities available to them.

3rd song of soundtrack: “Imagine” by Chris Cornell

The original Imagine was performed by John Lennon, in 1971. It idealized a world at peace, a world without borders or the divisions of religion and nationality. There have been other iterations of this song, which makes me consider the divisive nature of our  continued tribalism that we still face. So maybe the sentiment of hope and tolerance remains important today.
