Jason Dole and Patricio Robayo overview the important races in Sullivan, Wayne, and Pike County. 

They were joined by the following guests: Phillip Pantuso from the Times Union, Derek Kirk from Sullivan County Democrat, Sandra Oxford representing the Working Families Party, and Liz Forrest from the Pike County League of Women Voters.

The NPR host, Shankar Vedantam, has introduced a new series titled "Healing 2.0" as part of his show "Hidden Brain." This series, running throughout November, explores the latest insights on coping with emotional pain.

Radio Catskill's Tim Bruno interviewed Vedantam to discuss why he chose to launch this series during the holiday season, which is typically regarded as the happiest time of the year.

Derek Kirk from the Sullivan County Democrat says Sullivan County owes $32,000 due to their failure to follow through on a patient's health plan at the Adult Care Center at Sunset Lake in Liberty, NY, which led to the patient's death. 

Sullivan County is currently working on a project to provide broadband access to its residents. As part of this effort, they are considering the use of the County's communication towers to expand the reach of their broadband network. 

County officials have already visited the headquarters of Archtop Fiber, a private startup that is partnering with them to install fiber optic cables in the region. The project is scheduled to commence in 2024.
