WKXL - New Hampshire Talk Radio

Jane and Catherine discuss all things HOLIDAY on today's segment of Artful Living. There are so many offerings here in the Granite State - join us as we highlight area performances and events this holiday season!

This week on Facing the Future we heard from three members of Congress who took part in a virtual discussion on November 13 titled, “Working Toward a Sustainable Fiscal Future in a Divided Congress.” The three congressmen, Don Bacon (R-NE), Jared Golden (D-ME), and Scott Peters (D-CA) were recipients of The Concord Coalition’s 2023 Economic Patriot Award, which is given for efforts to bring about a more fiscally sustainable path for future generations.

Michael Cobb, of Truepenny Arts stopped by to talk mechanics! As in the “mechanics of good acting”. Why do some people care to get better at the craft of performing while others could care less? What does he mean by helping actors be “in the moment”? Has he seen anything, performance-wise, that’s really impressed him? *Hint: yes, and it was a musical!*

We also discussed his love for the “classics” and which types of plays he feels fall into that category. So many questions, so little time.

Theatre and Soccer were the topics on Wednesday’s episode. The Community Players of Concord will be performing The Sound of Music this weekend at the Concord City Auditorium. Joining us in studio to discuss the production were Director Cindy Dickinson and Ally Thorpe who will play the role of Maria.

Also on Wednesday we chatted with University of New Hampshire head men’s soccer coach, Marc Hubbard. The Wildcats are going to the NCAA tournament for the seventh consecutive year and they will enter the event at the number-eight seed, their highest ever. UNH will host either Syracuse or Boston University on Sunday at 2 at Wildcat Stadium in Durham.

Basketball and Hockey on the Tuesday agenda. We opened with author Clayton Trutor discussing his new book “Boston Ball: Rick Pitino, Jim Calhoun, Gary Williams and the Forgotten Cradle of Basketball Coaches”. Next, our Hockey East Guru John Leahy with an update on men’s and women’s play in college hockey’s top conference.

Artful Living host Jane Cormier chats with Rep. Barbara Comtois from Barnstead. Topics today range from discussing the importance of taking time to relax to agricultural challenges faced by .. New Hampshire small farms.

Join us in an interesting conversation about "home grown" NH!

Monday’s show included a variety of topics including Senator Tim Scott’s departure from the Republican Presidential Primary race, the possible date of the First in the Nation Presidential Primary and, of course, the decline and fall of the New England Patriots.

We were also joined by University of New Hampshire head football coach Rick Santos who discussed his team’s weekend win over Monmouth and looked ahead to this Saturday’s rivalry finale against the University of Maine.

It's Friday, which means the Friday Fun Bunch is in the WKXL Studios! Ken Cail interviews Tom Raffio, President & CEO of Northeast Delta Dental and Kitty Rae the OFFICIAL “Flick Chick."

We were joined on Thursday’s show by Greg Glasgow and Kathryn Mayer, co-authors of the new book, “Disneyland on the Mountain: Walt, the Environmentalists and the Ski Resort That Never Was”. It was going to be Disneyland on the mountain but there was one major obstacle to Walt Disney’s dream and that was the growing environmental movement of the 1960’s.
