Back in the mid-1990s when I did some work in — gasp! — radio, our station required regular “air checks.” A DJ or sports announcer would have to present a — again, dating myself — cassette tape to a producer or music director, who would listen to an on-air segment or two and then provide [...]

We all love stories. They are part of the essence of our humanness.
We connect to our past through stories. We develop and maintain families and friendships through stories. We often imagine our future in the form of a story.
Well, last week I happened upon a podcast that tells very good stories.

From meeting Steve last month at a gathering of [...]

Are you excited about the World Cup, which starts this Friday? I am.
Admittedly, I’m a pay-attention-to-soccer-every-four-years kind of fan, but that puts my in good stead with most of my fellow Americans. As Andrei Markovits writes in today’s Boston Globe, soccer is not part of our “hegemonic sports culture” — meaning a world of [...]
