The latter two books were named New York Times notable books of the year. Sheehy taught theatre and acting at Southern Connecticut State University for more than two decades. After spending years writing non-fiction, she has turned to her earliest love, telling stories. She lives in Hamden, Connecticut.

Send us a textThis is the second episode of the podcast in April, because... well, we just couldn't stop ourselves!

Send us a textThis month we are celebrating National Poetry Month. In addition to our staff reading some of their favorite poems and our interview with Franz Douskey, the Hamden poet laureate, one of our patrons was kind enough to call in and read two of her original poems.  We also have a fun little quiz segment entitled “Taylor or Edgar” in which Kacie read me a series of short excerpts and I had to guess whether it was written by Taylor Swift or Edgar Allan Poe.  This has been a real labor of love for me and has turned out to be, I think, possibly my favorite episode that we've ever done. Of course, I was an English major so I'm a little biased, but I hope you enjoy it as well! - Mike

Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save life or to destroy it?” ~Luke 6:9 During the three months that Pastor Laura will be away on sabbatical, I have invited some friends to preach at FCC. This week, we welcome the Rev. Kathy Peters to the pulpit. Kathy is no stranger to Southington. She and her husband, Stanley, lived for many years in Plantsville. As she prepared for ministry at Yale Divinity School, Kathy was an active member of the Plantsville Congregational Church. Since finishing YDS, Kathy served as the Associate Pastor of the Spring Glen Church in Hamden, on the staff of the historic Connecticut Conference, and as the Pastor of the United Church of Chester. Kathy and Stanley tried to retire to Florida but missed New England too much, so they returned to Connecticut this year and joined FCC. I look forward to hearing from Kathy on Sunday!

Liquid Lunch with The RWA Hamden Regional Chamber of Commerce by WNHH Community Radio

The Light Gate welcomes guest: researcher and author, Frank C. Feschino Jr. Date: December 16, 2024 Episode: 086 Discussion: The Braxton County Monster (aka: The Flatwoods Virginia Monster incident) and The Flying Saucer Air Wars of 1952 (as chronicled in his book, Shoot Them Down!) Frank C. Feschino, Jr. is a graduate of the Paier College of Art in Hamden, Connecticut, where he studied illustration, commercial art, and photography. He was trained by several world-famous artists including Kenneth Davies, Rudolph Zallinger and John Massimino and earned his four-year Fine Arts diploma in 1981. Feschino later moved to Florida where he studied film and video production at Phillips Jr. College in Daytona Beach and was trained by Hollywood camera operator Rich Davis. In 1994, Frank graduated with an Associates Degree in Film and Video Production and a minor in Business. While visiting family in Braxton County in the early 1990s, Feschino became aware of the "Flatwoods Monster" UFO crash incident in Braxton County that occurred on September 12, 1952 and began to investigate it. This case reportedly involved a UFO and its alien occupant, a 12-foot-tall armor-clad being that crash-landed on a farm in Flatwoods and encountered a curious group of local townspeople shortly after. Subsequently, he began an in-depth investigation into this case, which lasted decades and reveals a massive UFO cover-up implemented by the United States government. After decades of research and investigating the case, Feschino wrote a groundbreaking book that chronicles his investigation into the famous "Flatwoods Monster" incident. It is titled, "The Braxton County Monster - The Cover-up of the Flatwoods Monster Revealed," which was later released into an "Updated and Revised" edition as his investigation continued and additional information obtained. Frank has guest appeared on many West Virginia television talk shows, TV news broadcasts and radio programs and was also featured in the first-ever "Flatwoods Monster" cover story and feature article of UFO Magazine. The author/illustrator and UFO investigator also appeared in an episode of "Monster Quest" on the HISTORY CHANNEL that featured the "Flatwoods Monster" and "Frametown Monster" incidents of 1952. Additionally, Feschino produced a documentary that he wrote, shot and narrated, which focuses on his investigation into the "Flatwoods Monster" case and appears on you tube. After spending decades in search of the truth, Frank C. Feschino, Jr. has become the genuine authority on the "Flatwoods Monster" incident and UFO events of September 12, 1952. Frank is also the author of the highly acclaimed book, “Shoot Them Down! The Flying Saucer Air Wars of 1952. Today, Frank Feschino, Jr. continues to be involved in UFO his research and currently resides in central Florida.

Wonder and strangeness commingle with the commonplace and universal in Danielle Chapman's “Trespassing with Tweens.” In a not-quite mirroring, a human mother and her children stand and watch together in awe as a great blue heron flaps in and feeds its two offspring. The pleasures found here are profound and multiple – the joys in seeing, in sharing an experience of seeing, in seeing with fresh eyes, and in being seen.Danielle Chapman is a poet, essayist, and lecturer in English at Yale University. Her most recent collection of poetry, Boxed Juice, was published in 2024 by Unbounded Edition Press. Her previous collection of poems, Delinquent Palaces, was published by Northwestern University Press in 2015, and her memoir, Holler: A Poet Among Patriots, was released by Unbound Edition Press in 2023. For several years, Chapman served as the Director of Literary Arts and Events for the City of Chicago, and she was also an editor at Poetry Magazine. She currently teaches Shakespeare and creative writing and lives in Hamden, Connecticut, with her family.Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org.We're pleased to offer Danielle Chapman's poem and invite you to subscribe to Pádraig's weekly Poetry Unbound Substack newsletter, read the Poetry Unbound book, or listen to past episodes of the podcast.

She works primarily with women and their male partners to improve fertility and conception odds, along with others to optimize their metabolic health for healthy long lives ahead. Main Business Issues: Difficulty in effectively delegating tasks and trusting others to handle responsibilities Money anxiety often leads to decisions driven by fear rather than strategic planning Lyndsey's Key Insights and Takeaways: Ineffective delegation will lead to the inability to establish clear processes, defined success criteria, and reliable communication. The decision to hire and delegate should be balanced with developing emotional resilience.

I saw someone on TikTok ask (rather vulgarly) that we just have, for once, a week that is … precedented. And I mean, yes. Could we? Well, not this week. The shooting. The convention. The running mate. The president with COVID. The ominous election. And then Bob Newhart died, too.
