  • ditch radio format for podcast

    I usually enjoy the show as a way to stay in touch with ME or just to enjoy the topics that aren’t about ME.

Long-Distance Cycling
Q: How many people ride the East Coast Greenway each year?
The rough estimate for last year is that about 55 to 100 people rode the entire East Coast Greenway, but many hundreds more likely ride portions of it.
Long-Distance Cycling
Q: Why do you ride?
I love doing this type of thing. I really enjoy riding my bike. It's really a good thing for me, and then to be able to use bicycling kind of as a way to help others and other communities is just really a home run for me.
Food Insecurity
Q: What do you want and what do you not want in terms of food donations?
We'll take any food, really, but cash donations are also very helpful for buying food.
Food Insecurity
Q: Why are we still in this place regarding childhood food insecurity?
Despite universal school lunch programs, challenges remain when kids are out of school, and recent SNAP cuts exacerbate the issue.
A.I. in Everyday Life
Q: What are some risks of using AI in health care?
AI in healthcare must always have a human in the loop to validate its outputs, and over-reliance on AI can lead to significant consequences if feedback is not critically assessed.
