The holidays are a stressful and expensive time of the year. This show talks about how to make celebrations more sustainable, simpler, and healthier. To help listeners relieve a little bit of that stress, this month's show concluded with a guided meditation.

Green Life Gurus Lindsay Crum and Sarah Jane Compton bring an end-of-the-summer show on food preservation with special guest, fermentation expert, Ann Mione. They discuss the science behind food preservation and how to put away a wide variety of foods, with techniques such as pickling, drying, smoking and fermentation.

This January 2017 show presented sustainable alternatives to personal care and beauty products. They talked about natural alternatives to chemical laden products (in today's world even containing "nano-particles"). Green-life gurus Lindsay Crum and Sarah Jane Compton also spoke with Connecticut-based natural product developerJessica Balaban of J & J Apothecary.

More Americans than ever have animal companions in their homes, and people are spending more money than ever on their food, upkeep, toys, and other pet products. This month's guest is Elaine Spinato of Friends of the New Haven Animal Shelter.

I have returned after a break. On this show I speak live with Professor of Political Science, Scott McLean, of Quinnipiac University, Hamden, Connecticut. Today's topic for discussion: "Forecast For The Republican Controlled Federal Government, the 115th United States Congress, and the President-Elect's Cabinet Nominees."
