Today we get a little tricksy and build connections right underneath our very eyes
Including a father son combination bringing folx together in communities near and far. We’ll speak with Tom and Stefan Weiner, who’ll bring a polar plunge raising money for Palestine and a queer centered concert both in Northampton this weekend. We’ll hear how they’ve come to their respective causes including the Palestinian House of Friendship, a little about their family, and a lot about the change communication can bring.
And last week we got a little into the possible effects of a federal freeze on funding where education is concerned, and that might hit one of the more effective programs that’s been supported by those funds: Head Start. We chat with executive director of Holyoke Chicopee Springfield Head Start, Nicole Blais to find out if the youth really will be alright if the program ends up on the federal chopping block.
Plus word nerd Emily Brewster tackles a listener question about the pronunciation of word mischievous as the senior editor at Merriam Webster helps us examine this tricky wicket and a few others like it.
