From Keene to Boston and Back, again, and again, and again.....

This is a commute that on the best of days will take about two hours but with a little help from my fellow commuters it can easily jump to three-plus hours. To survive you have to be comfortable living in close proximity with other travelers as you will be faced with drivers who tailgate/who will pass you in the breakdown lane/and cut you off to gain a car length, or hanging with the subway crowd as you finish the last leg of the journey.

Failure to Disclose

By Josh Rogers on Thursday, April 27, 2006.

By most estimates, GOP Gubernatorial candidates Jim Coburn is facing an uphill battle. He's a one-term state rep. trying to unset a Governor with high poll numbers and plenty of resources. That said, Jim Coburn is not working alone. Since late March, the former high-tech entrepreneur's campaign has been run by Meridian Communications, the PR firm that helped Frank Guinta claim an upset win in the Manchester Mayoral race. Meridian is also assisting New York Governor George Pataki as he explores a Presidential bid. But Meridian's co-founder, former TV-news reporter Jack Heath, does more than just advise candidates and companies on how to get good press. He also gives them press on his daily radio talk show.

New Hampshire Folk Festival

By Shay Zeller on Thursday, April 27, 2006.

The New Hampshire Folk Festival takes place this weekend in Portsmouth. A broad range of local artists will perform, from more traditional acts like Tommy Makem and Bill Morrissey to newer musicians on the scene including Dan Blakeslee, and Deirdre Randall. We'll talk with Wire Magazine's Music editor Jon Nolan about the different acts, and we'll play lots of music by the artists involved. Our guest, Jon, is also one of the musicians on the lineup, so he'll bring his guitar along with him to to our studio to perform a song or two of his own.

The Culture of Divorce

By Laura Knoy on Thursday, April 27, 2006.

People get divorced… that hasn't changed much… almost as much as they did twenty years ago. What has changed is our attitudes around divorce. No longer carrying the social stigma it did back in our parents and grandparents day, some now even engage in "starter marriages" as they would approach a "starter home". Despite the change in shame around divorce, it still affects families, especially children. Today we'll look at divorce, how it touches people's lives and our changing cultural feelings towards the end of marriage. Laura's guests are Bill Chausse, Vice President of Child and Family Services of New Hampshire. Dr. Julia Lewis, Profressor of Psychology at San Francisco State University and co-author of the book "Unexpected Legacy of Divorce: A 25 Year Landmark Study" and TBA.
