Featured Host Spotlight

Spotlight on Marrie Stone co-host of The Chat Room by: Barbara DeMarco-Barrett You were PA director for the last two years, you co-host with me “Writers on Writing,” you have a daughter, a husband, and you’re a writer. What form of insanity convinced you to take on another show? It’s always seemed to me there was an obvious hole in the Public Affairs’ schedule. We have legal shows, medical shows, shows about film, books, elves, food, and politics, but nothing focused on intimate relationships. For a college campus, with college-aged students as our targe...

Why There's No Money in My 401(k) A Diary of Obsessive Materialism (Vol. 6)

by Kyle Olson In an effort to fulfill some bizarre need in my life, I purchase a lot of CDs, both old and new. They are obsessively cataloged and organized and poured over track by track (Seriously, it's obsessive. It involves post-it notes and code and excel spreadsheets).
