Dan and Ellen talk with Nancy West, executive editor of InDepthNH.org.  Nancy was an investigative reporter during her 30-year career at the New Hampshire Union Leader. Nancy founded the nonprofit New Hampshire Center for Public Interest Journalism in 2015. She has also taught investigative reporting at a summer program for students at the New England Center for Investigative Reporting. Ellen has a Quick Take on a recent article by Dan Froomkin in Washington Monthly. Froomkin, who is now editor of Press Watch, used to work for The Washington Post. He has been critical of owner Jeff Bezos. Froomkin is taking aim at the content management system developed by The Post under Bezos. The Post licenses this system to other news outlets around the country. That kind of market power worries Froomkin. Dan's Quick Take is on the state of journalism in Vermont, a subject we've talked about on a recent podcast. And about a good piece of media criticism. Bill Schubart, a journalist who writes a column for VTDigger, wrote a column critiquing a recent New Yorker piece by Bill McKibben on Vermont journalism. But Schubart also looked inward and wrote that Digger itself is having problems.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 5, 2022 is: fester • FESS-ter • verb Fester means "to generate pus" or "to become worse as time passes." // Without treatment, the wound began to fester. // The resentment between the knights festered and led to a battle. See the entry > Examples: "And even though there are many people who claim to have the solutions, I seriously doubt these challenges will be solved. I predict they will continue to fester within all organizations." — Christopher Thompson, The New Hampshire Union Leader, 24 Jan. 2022 Did you know? Fester comes from Latin fistula, meaning "pipe" or "fistulous ulcer." Fistula, in English, refers to an abnormal passage leading from an abscess or hollow organ and permitting passage of fluids or secretions. The word's use as a verb meaning "to generate pus" influenced its use as a word implying a worsening state.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for February 9, 2022 is: yen • YEN • noun A yen is a strong desire, urge, or craving for something. // After dinner, the family went out for ice cream to satisfy their yen for something sweet. // Students with a yen to travel should consider studying abroad. See the entry > Examples: "During the spring, retirees come south to New Hampshire for day trips, including shopping at outlets, while in summer the visitors are families with a yen for outdoor activities." — John Koziol, The New Hampshire Union Leader, 14 Oct. 2021 Did you know? Although yen suggests no more than a strong desire these days (as in "a yen for a beach vacation"), at one time someone with a yen was in deep trouble: the first meaning of yen was an intense craving for opium. The word comes from Cantonese yīn-yáhn, a combination of yīn, meaning "opium," and yáhn, "craving." In English, the Chinese syllables were translated as yen-yen.

In this episode, host Patrick Hynes discusses education freedom accounts with Rep. Glenn Cordelli (R-Tuftonboro). Cordelli is a prime sponsor of HB20, a measure “establishing the Richard ‘Dick' Hinch Education Freedom Account Program.”EPISODE NOTESBedford High School has issued twice the number of failing grades this year compared to last year.According to data from the Manchester School District, 42% of kids are failing at least one class. Thirty percent have 5 or more absences. To compound matters, the data show minority kids are struggling disproportionately.  Education freedom accounts will allow Granite State families to access state funds to establish savings accounts and use the money to help parents find the best education options available for their children. Learn more here: https://educationfreedomnh.org/Read Hynes's column, “Covid exposes desperate need for education freedom accounts” in the New Hampshire Union Leader. 

Today on Boston Public Radio: We kick things off by opening lines, talking with listeners about the slow rollout of COVID-19 vaccines in Mass.

He also recounts his experience being at the Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection. Jennifer Horn talks about the future of the Lincoln Project, and the Republican Party as a whole, post-Donald Trump.

In this special bonus episode, host Patrick Hynes dives deeper into the issues and dynamics he first addressed in his most recent column in the New Hampshire Union Leader titled, "The twin threats to the NH Advantage." The passing of House Speaker Dick Hinch of COVID-19 and divisions within the GOP House caucus present new dangers to the NH Advantage. Republicans must establish strong, commonsense leadership to endure the coming onslaught of tax increase proposals and big government threats.

In 1943, the U.S. established a camp for German prisoners of war near the village of Stark in northern New Hampshire. After a rocky start, the relations between the prisoners and guards underwent a surprising change.

"I think [kevinmd.com] it's  a tremendously powerful tool, not only to connect with and educate patients, but as the platform evolved, it was a tremendous tool for other healthcare professionals to speak up and be heard. Not only to speak to patients, but also to get their voice heard when it comes to healthcare reform" Introduction Welcome back Happy Doc Family! For our next 2-part series, we are thrilled to feature Dr. Kevin Pho. Some of you may know him through his website, KevinMD. Dr. Pho started his platform of social media in 2004 and noticed how well his posts were being interpreted as tools for patients and healthcare professionals. Thereafter, the platform known as KevinMD has risen as a very influential website that shares the voices of physicians and healthcare professionals. In addition, Dr. Pho, who is an expert and book author of social media in the physician space, gives us his perspective on the benefits of developing an online presence and how to build that presence. Enjoy this week's episode! Bio Kevin received his medical degree at Boston University School of Medicine and practices primary care in Nashua, New Hampshire.  He was a member of the New Hampshire Union Leader's 40 Under Forty, an inductee to the Healthcare Internet Hall of Fame, and named a top doctor in the state by New Hampshire Magazine. Prior to attending medical school, Dr. Pho knew that medicine was a calling for him. Upon graduation, he became a certified physician in Internal Medicine. Furthermore, he became involved with being a national media commentator, co-author of Establishing, Managing, and Protecting Your Online Reputation: A Social Media Guide for Physicians and Medical Practices, and a keynote speaker. Now, his website receives over 3 million views each month and has over 250,000 followers on Facebook and Twitter. Due to Dr. Pho's successful platform in social media, he has been featured on CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, CNN, New York Times, and USA Today (where he is a member of its editorial Board of Contributors). *** KevinMD action challenge: Reflect on your personal experiences and training in healthcare and medicine. In what areas are you lacking a voice, what have you wanted to express? Let us know: what do you wish we talked more about in health care? Tweet us @thehappydoc1 and please consider reading and writing a piece on www.kevinmd.com. We would love to hear your thoughts! *** Join The Happy Doc Family!

Facebook       Instagram      Twitter Link Link *** Sample of the conversation The moment Kevin decided to build KevinMD.com I think it was 10-12 years ago when I wrote something about a drug that was recalled and a patient actually read my blog post and noticed it the next day and said, ‘hey Dr. Pho, you know I read your blog post,” and that's when that proverbial light bulb moment came up and I said, hey other people are reading what I have to say. On losing a sense of control as a doctor A lot of physicians have lost control, not only in their practice but the doctor-patient relationship which used to be sacred. Now there are so many influences that affect that doctor-patient relationship. It could be the politicians, it could be the health insurers, it could be the drug companies. As physicians, a lot of them do feel powerless when it comes to maintaining that sacrosanct relationship. Don't accept the status quo It's important to advocate for patients, advocate for the profession, speak up against some of the hidden challenges against our medical profession. For example, burnout, suicide, and all these other third-party influences that detract that [patient-physician] relationship. It's important for us to speak out because the status quo simply isn't acceptable. Tenacity, a key to Kevin's success. I'm pretty tenacious, I don't give up. I think you have to have that trait in order to be in the social media platform space. I think that a lot of the gains when it comes to building an audience and influence is very incremental. As you know, none of this happens overnight. I think a lot of the effort that gets put in is really small victories, small gains, and I think that really fits with my personality and that I'm able to chip away…plug-in, make small improvements, keep at it for 13 years… For more of the conversation, listen to the audio!

Are Americans not working hard enough? Jeb Bush told the New Hampshire Union Leader, “Workforce participation has to rise from its all-time modern lows. It means that people need to work longer hours and through their productivity gain more income for their families.” We call in Adam Davidson to explain how economists understand our historic lows in workforce participation. He’s a contributor to the New York Times Magazine and a founder of NPR’s Planet Money. Also, Adam Davidson is hosting a new podcast with Adam McKay called Awesome Boring. Here’s a teaser.

Yesterday Jeb Bush offered his boldest solution yet for the economy. In an interview with the New Hampshire Union Leader, he said a way to get 4 percent growth is “people need to work longer hours.” As a matter of fact, most Americans are already working long hours. The average workweek for salaried workers is 47 hours. Hourly workers are putting in even more time. Contract workers, free-lancers, and temp workers are working longer hours than ever. Most part-time workers are doing more than one part-time job. The problem for most Americans isn't work hours. It's wages. Wages are still stuck in the mud. Half of Americans are earning less now than they did 30 years ago, adjusted for inflation. Almost all the economic gains have been going to the top. But Bush is against increasing the minimum wage or doing anything else that would raise Americans' pay. Jeb's Bushonomics is as bad as his brother's. What do you think?
