Walt Rubel Commentary: Lights, camera, action … Miranda rights

11/30/2022

 
In June, 2012, I succumbed to the hype and joined with millions of others to watch Nik Wallenda attempt to cross over Niagara Falls on a highwire.

Walt Rubel Commentary: Clear path ahead for Lujan Grisham

11/24/2022

Think Again: Gratitude - Thanks - Appreciation

11/21/2022

 
Today’s program opens with a 4 minute reading by author David Whyte from his book Consolations, on the topic of "Gratitude".

Co-host and guest, Keith Whelpley, brings his thoughts to a conversation about gratitude, thanks, and appreciation.

Exploring the differences and similarities in the meanings and usage of those words opens a consideration of what we’re really saying and meaning when we say “Thanks” or “I’m grateful” or “I appreciate”. In keeping with exploring how we think, why we think the way we do, and why that matters - there may be some merit in exploring our language around gratitude.
