Scott Jagow talks with Stuart McMillan about February and why it often feels bleak but still has its moments. The conversation starts with Kevin Killeen’s viral essay capturing the honesty of a February workday downtown. Stu shares his personal fondness for the month, including multiple family birthdays, Valentine’s Day, and never having spent the holiday single. They also touch on the odd contrast of newsroom Valentine’s decorations alongside grim news coverage. The discussion wraps with reflections on February observances like Presidents Day, Ash Wednesday, Mardi Gras, and Black History Month, plus why every month has something worth appreciating.
