February 11, 2020 A New Old Immigrant, A Red Pickup And A Trump Voter: A Glimpse Of The Real America
A New Old Immigrant, a Red Pickup and a Trump Voter . . . and a Glimpse of the Real America
This is the story of a new American and new voter 77 years young and voting for the first time in her life.
This morning at 4:34 am Carol Stanigar of Lebanon, New Hampshire wrote this email to her friend Maryann
Dearest Maryann,
I can always be sure that you will be cheering me on.
I am sure that people in San Francisco get all gussied up to vote but here in NH Ill be wearing my uniform. A flannel shirt.
OMG! I'm up before the sun. Sooooooo excited!
Can you STAND it: My Trumpster neighbor is going to take me to show me the ropes and to “make sure that nobody shoots me”, although I am contemplating making a sign to hang around my neck that says "NEW OLD IMMIGRANT".
Furthermore, he is going to take me in his pickup truck. All these years and I never did get a ride in one. God, I wish that I could ride in the back with my sign.
OH, I did get his wife, who is going to be tending the event to agree to write in Romney if she can't bring herself to vote Democrat. Maybe Roy will too.
OMG! This brings back memories of my first day of school....running up Mountain View avenue with Nursie in full pursuit
I was soooo excited. No, nervous.
I wish that you could have seen Roy. I tried to take a picture but my camera failed me.
He had the red Ford pickup with his HUGE mustache all gooped up and extending 2” on each side. Blue jeans and felt cowboy hat.
I was so proud hanging onto his arm so I wouldn’t slip on the ice. You should have seen the look on a lot of the faces that knew Roy. OMG! I’m causing a small-town scandal.
He walked me through the whole thing and insisted that I wear my “I voted sticker” on my coat.

November 27, 2019 Episode 13 Fred Bramante - Experiential Education Comes of Age
Experiential Education and Competency Mastery Comes of Age
A Conversation with Fred Bramante
The National Center for Competency-Based Learning
http://www.nccbl.org/
If Fred Bramante has his way, schools will look nothing like they do today in ten years. Where today many schools remain mired in the old ways - 180 days in a seat with teachers imparting and students absorbing - under the best of circumstances. If they are lucky their four years of school will yield a high school diploma. If Fred Bramante gets his way, Teachers will become facilitators, teaching in classrooms part-time and working with students of all kinds to help them find experiences that yield mastery over various competencies identified by schools, communities, teachers and other educational leaders.

September 04, 2019 Rebels at Work Lois Kelly Episode11 Radical Centrist
Rebels at Work - Lois Kelly
Creating Change From the Belly of the Beast
Can you be an effective Change Agent if you aren’t at the top of the corporate ladder? The answers to that question is a resounding yes.
Few of us get to start at the top of the corporate ladder. Yet many of us have good ideas that could create real and positive change in the company where we are hoping to move up the ladder. But creating change when you don’t possess the “portfolio” of a member of upper management can be very intimidating - even terrifying. After all, those with a portfolio have some degree of protection built into the system. But if you are - perhaps just getting your feet wet - you may find yourself on very slippery ground in trying to bring about change.
“Creativity is a renewable Resource” says Lois Kelly. If you’ve had one good idea, you are bound to have others as well. Take those ideas and make them happen.

How Senator John Durkin Changed the World and Launched the Renewable Energy Revolution: One Visionary Senator, One Great Staff, One Quiet amendment and 40+ years of Activism have set in motion the American Renewable Energy Revolution.
Today's podcast, the fourth in our "Beyond Carbon" series, is a story of a man with vision, a terrific staff of people around him and a Senate that - unlike today's Senate and House - was functional. Where Democrats and Republicans worked together for the best interests of the country and their constituents. It is a story of a man, and his staff, who saw their job - not in terms of the next election but the next generation and the next after that.
