What is safe about psychological safety? Do you really want everyone to feel comfortable all the time? Research tells us that psychological safety is a key component of effective teams and organisations. This week Mon-Chaio and Andy dig into the whats and wherefores of psychological safety. They dive into how it is measured, how it fits together with other concepts researched, tell some stories of their own about psychological safety, and debate how it interacts with accountability.

Who remembers what it was like to walk around the mall on a Friday night and seeing all your friends? It takes so long nowadays for my friend group to make plans. I miss the days when there was a standing social event you could just show up at. You couldn't text anyone to say you were there. You did laps around the mall and got to enjoy the surprise and delight of seeing people you knew. This week, Penn and I decided to avoid my anxiety and make Top 5 lists. What 5 things do you wish came back and what 5 things should never come back? Tell us what you miss about days gone by (and what things should just say away forever.)

Top Notch Local EatsWhile not technically food, the Candy Kitchen in Madeira Beach is a mom-and-pop shop that sells candy from all decades. From the "Bean Boozled" Jelly beans to the original Whatchamacallit, you are bound to find something you remember from childhood.For outstanding drinks with flair and flavor, try Saigon Blonde! This 60s-inspired restaurant and bar exude an inviting atmosphere with its tropical décor, including flickering tiki totems and murals.

With two separate and unique bars, tropical seating areas, and a beautiful second-floor lounge, Saigon Blonde is a prime spot for any occasion. The menu is full of delicious fresh cocktails that reflect the flavors and feel of the Pacific Rim. Many of the cocktails are made with fresh ingredients from their garden and Asian liquors. Saigon Blonde has a diverse food selection, including Vietnamese dishes to modern street food flavors. They also offer many vegan options. Saigon Blonde also has a legend to the name! During the Vietnam War, Saigon Lounge was a bar in the capital of Vietnam. The owner was a beautiful blonde Vietnamese and French woman. Locals and soldiers loved her bar! She had two rules: no weapons allowed, and have fun! In a time of war, anyone was welcome. The bar disappeared toward the end of the war, but its legacy lives on in Saint Pete! Escape the Florida heat and your busy day with some pals at Saigon Blonde!Explore the EntertainmentIf you are looking for a good time, stop at the Saint Pete Fair Grounds! Here you can find an immersive explorable art and technology exhibition that is a collaboration of 60 artists. Let your mind wander while you explore each exhibit and find the hidden details they share.Saint Pete has some of the freshest food. To find it, look no further than the Saint Pete Saturday Morning Market. The Saturday Morning Market is the best place to find freshly cooked food, locally farmed groceries, and live music. With 120 vendors, you are bound to fall in love with at least a couple of tents while you are there. If you are a local, you may even find a shop that has been under your nose the whole time!An iconic staple of Saint Pete is the St. Pete Pier, jetting out into Tampa Bay. A favorite destination of locals and tourists alike, the St. Pete Pier offers breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico and downtown Saint Petersburg. From it, you can see cruise ships, harbor seals, and various wildlife. The Pier is particularly special for those who like to shop. Its shops and restaurants offer something for everyone- art, clothing, jewelry, souvenirs, and food- local favorites like crab cakes and other seafood. Be sure to check out the Pier Aquarium, where you can see live fish, turtles, and rays up close and personal! And, of course, everyone should explore the Pier's landmark inverted pyramid. The Pier also provides plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities, such as walking, running, and biking. There's even a beach boardwalk for those who want to take a leisurely stroll. The Pier Park is great for a picnic or just relaxing in the sun. From beautiful views of the Gulf to all the attractions the Pier has to offer, the Saint Pete Pier is a must-see when you are in Saint Pete."Must-Sea" MuseumsSt. Pete is full of spectacular Museums.

This museum is a memorable space dedicated to preserving the stories and lives of those lost during one of the most horrific periods in history. Built-in 1992, it serves as a memorial to Holocaust survivors and their families, highlighting their experiences and showcasing both personal artifacts and informative displays. As one of the largest Holocaust museums in the nation, the Florida Holocaust Museum is also a reminder that such tragic events should never be forgotten. The museum features several galleries, filling visitors with an understanding of how discrimination and prejudice can have devastating outcomes. There are exhibits that feature the stories of Holocaust survivors and their families, as well as sections dedicated to exploring the history of antisemitism and racism during World War II. There is also a Hall of Remembrance, which is designed as a place to remember and honor those lives taken in the Holocaust. For visitors from outside of Florida, there is also a special section about Florida's response to the Holocaust, including stories from survivors who settled in the Sunshine State after the war.Additionally, the museum regularly hosts programs and events, such as lectures and panel discussions, which further provide insight into this part of history. Whether you're planning a visit to the Florida Holocaust Museum for educational purposes or a memorial service, there is nothing else quite like it. From the inspiring displays, interactive media, and artifacts, to the unique stories, this is one of the most moving cultural destinations in the country.

A straightforward Saturday puzzle, but it pegged the Fun Quotient meter so we will not complain. Au contraire, most of today's episode is spent singing its praises, for the clues are crisp, cute (but not TWEE!), and, oh, WHATCHAMACALLIT, compelling.

Jermaine Event Babbles about Atlanta Season 4 episode 3, Conor McGregor, and Fight Night Dern/Xiaonan.

Dan inspected Herb. Behind Dan, a door opened, and a squat man in coveralls emerged from it. Herb smiled and nodded at him. “You related to the Feasters?” Dan asked.     “No,” said Herb. “The name's Piper, Herb Piper. I don't have any relatives here — I don't even know anyone here.” He extended his hand. Neither Dan nor Speedy made a move to shake it.     “The wife?” asked Dan.     “No, no. We just came to Babbington because — ”     Herb had been about to describe the method that Lorna had used to choose Babbington as a place for them to live, but he thought better of it. It would, he knew, seem ridiculous, and, worse than that, it might seem insulting. After all, wouldn't he be saying that he and Lorna had come to Babbington because they knew that they could be happy wherever they went, that their love, their benevolent giant, would follow them anywhere? You can't say that to a person, Herb thought, say that this place, the place where he lives, seems to you only as good as any other place — no better, no worse.     “Because what?” asked Dan. There was a new chill in his voice.     “Well, because we heard nice things about it,” Herb lied. He certainly didn't want to begin his life in Babbington by offending the civic pride of, or arousing the suspicions of, the police. “That is, my wife did,” he said, his mind racing. “See, my wife is from Chacallit, upstate, not far from Albany, and — um — when she was a little girl some people from Babbington were passing through, and — ”     “That would be the Sutphens, I'll bet,” said Speedy, folding his arms across his chest.     “The Sutphens!” said Herb, eager to establish some link between Lorna and himself and the town. “It probably was! Yes, it probably was. The Sutphens.”     “Went to Canada,” said Speedy. Herb nodded enthusiastically.     “Fled to Canada,” said Dan. “Probably passed through this place your wife's from — Whatchamacallit — ”     “Chacallit.”     “Right. Wilfred and Elizabeth Sutphen. Wilfred was accused of embezzling, went to trial, wasn't convicted.”     “Not guilty,” said Herb, nodding again.     “Not convicted,” said Dan.     “Uh-huh,” said Herb, who was beginning to wonder how long it would take to drive to West Burke, Vermont.     “Nobody ever found the money,” said Speedy.     “I read where Wilfred died just a few weeks ago,” said Dan.     “Fell off a horse in front of a truck,” said Speedy.     “I remember the headline on his obit,” said Dan. He held his hands in front of him with his thumbs and index fingers spread and drew them apart to suggest a banner headline. “ ‘Former Babbingtonian Dies in Wolf Snout, Manitoba,' it said. And then under that, smaller, it said, ‘Wilfred Sutphen, 58, Alleged Embezzler.' ”     “Well,” said Herb, “I'm sure it was somebody else, then, not the Sutphens, but whoever it was, these people made the town sound so wonderful that my wife fell in love with the place.”     “She fell in love with it without even seeing it?” asked Speedy. He didn't look like a man convinced. Herb asked himself why he hadn't just told the truth. He was backing farther and farther into a corner. This was not getting off on the right foot.     “She — ” said Herb. He sighed. He didn't know what to say next. The door opened. Lorna walked in. “Lorna!” he said. “Lorna. I — was just trying to explain to — um, Officer — um — and Mr. Speedy how it was that we decided to settle here in Babbington, why it had to be this town and no other. Not as if we just picked out any old town on a map — and they were wondering how it was that you fell in love with the place without ever having seen it.”     “I saw it in my mind's eye,” said Lorna, “in my imagination. The little seacoast town. The neat houses.” She stopped. Dan and Speedy wore looks that said they expected more.     “The — uh, church steeples,” offered Herb. “The — red and yellow leaves on the trees in the fall.”     “Schoolchildren on their way to — school,” said Lorna.     “The glowing streetlamps,” said Herb.     Lorna held her hands up as if calling for silence and half closed her eyes. “The night, the glowing streetlamps, the people asleep in their cozy beds, in their neat houses, safe and warm, while trusty guardians keep watch through the night.” She smiled. She wore the look of an enchanted child, envisioning her Shangri-La.     Dan and Speedy smiled back. They looked enchanted themselves. “And after all these years, here you are at last,” Dan said.     Lorna smiled her answer.     “Well, I hope you won't be disappointed,” said Speedy. “A lot of times, you find out that things aren't everything you were hoping they'd be, you know? You get an idea all worked up in your mind about how something is going to be and then, brother, are you in for a surprise. Take right now, for instance. I'll bet you didn't imagine that when you got to Babbington, you'd be caught in a rainstorm like this, did you?”     Lorna couldn't resist. “Oh, I did,” she said, breathless, her eyes shining. “I imagined it just like this.”     “What?” said Speedy, his eyes widening. “Howling wind, driving rain, and you all wet and shivering — that's the way you imagined it?”     “Yes,” said Lorna, still the enchanted girl.     “And you fell in love with it?”     A nod full of charm, those bright eyes.     “Boy, oh boy, love is a crazy thing,” said Dan, grinning and shaking his head. “A woman can fall in love with the—” He caught himself. Confused, he looked at Lorna. He found no help in her smile. To change the subject, he asked, “Where — um — where did you imagine you two were going to stay?”     Lorna closed her eyes. “A small hotel — ” she said.     “Mm-hm,” said Dan.     “Yeah,” said Speedy.     “ — where salesmen stay sometimes — ”     “Mm.”     “Yep.”     “ — with a small dining room — ”     “Gosh.”     “Brother.”     “ — not far from here.”     “That's got to be the River Sound Hotel!” said Dan. His eyes were wide.     “Couldn't be anyplace else,” said Speedy. “That's it, plain as day.”     “Amazing,” said Dan. He let his mouth hang open.In Topical Guide 298, Mark Dorset considers Babbington from this episode.Have you missed an episode or two or several?You can begin reading at the beginning or you can catch up by visiting the archive or consulting the index to the Topical Guide.You can listen to the episodes on the Personal History podcast.

Chapter 1In Which Lorna Is Born into the Huber Family, of Chacallit, New YorkMY GRANDMOTHER, Lorna Huber, was born in Chacallit, New York, fifty miles or so northwest of Albany, in the valley of the Whatsit River, a tributary of the Mohawk. The name of the town has a curious etymology. The first English settlers arrived around 1680, some fifty years after William Oughtred developed the first calculating instrument that could be called a slide rule. These settlers knew the Mohawk name for the place, which meant, loosely, “place where many fur-bearing animals can be taken but the land is really too steeply sloped to allow one to make a proper camp.” However, since the settlers couldn't pronounce the Mohawk name correctly and were, in the English manner, disinclined to learn to do so, when they were asked where they hailed from they made a bit of comic business out of struggling to pronounce the name, delivering three or four mispronunciations, and then shrugging and saying, “Oh, What-y'-may-call-it.”     The term What-you-may-call-it was, by the middle of the seventeenth century, already well established in English as a humorous substitute for anything the name of which a speaker had forgotten, couldn't pronounce, had never known, or didn't consider worth learning. The Oxford English Dictionary, in the entry for what-d'ye-call-'em, lists what-you-may-call-it as a variant, and cited there we find Chapman writing, as early as 1598, “Why hees a what you calt.” In 1600 we find Shakespeare himself writing, in As You Like It, “Good euen good Mr what ye cal't.”     Apparently human nature and the techniques of comedy were little different in those days from what they are now, because the citizen of “What-y'-may-call-it,” having raised a laugh by lampooning the name of the town, added what is known to stand-up comics as the “topper.” After a suitable pause, the citizen would add, “It's on the bank of the What's-it River,” and, presumably, have his listener in stitches.     In time, the town became widely known as What-y'-may-call-it, and then, through clipping and elision, What-y'-ma-call-it, Whatchamacallit, Whatchacallit, and, finally, Chacallit. Similarly, the river came to be called the Whatsit.     The first Hubers in America, Kurt Huber and his sixteen-year-old bride Inge, arrived in the Whatsit Valley from Germany in 1730, at just about the time when the first members of the Studebaker family were settling in Pennsylvania. In Germany, the Hubers had been farmers. History does not record what reasons Kurt Huber had for choosing Chacallit, but, to judge from the poor soil and steep slopes, he certainly can't have intended to farm there. At the time, fur-trapping was really the only industry, but Kurt seems to have worked as a road builder. A history of Chacallit published in 1866 says of Kurt, “It is to him that the town is indebted for some of its handsomest streets.” That history also says, “He was a bold, fearless man who refused to remove to the fort, where the other settlers fled on account of the Indians.” Inge was known for her caustic wit and dark beauty. An admiring but wary diarist of the time marveled, in a sketch of Inge, that “so sharp a tongue should lurk behind such plump, alluring lips.” Kurt Huber died just two months before the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Following his death, many objects of value that had been presumed stolen by Indians during raids were discovered among his road-building tools and supplies, and as a result Inge and her eleven children lived under a cloud for the rest of their days.     Throughout the nineteenth century, the manufacture of gentlemen's furnishings, which had begun in Chacallit on a very small scale, as little more than a cottage industry, a way for families to supplement their incomes when fur trapping was off, grew steadily in economic importance, and thanks to it, the town grew and prospered. For generations, the Hubers of Chacallit strove to efface the memory of their infamous ancestor Kurt by establishing themselves as a family of unremarkable drudges wholly devoted to the stolid, uncomplaining performance of dull work. The gentlemen's furnishings industry offered numerous opportunities for work of that type, and as the industry expanded the Hubers filled more and more of the positions in the undistinguished middle of its work force. Now and then Inge's genes produced an impish, quick-witted beauty or Kurt's produced a rogue, but most of these were, for the greater good of the family, suppressed or sent away, and the Hubers trudged along at the soft center of Chacallit's success.In Topical Guide 240, Mark Dorset considers Places, Fictional: Chacallit, New York; Name, What's in a; Names, Pronunciation of; Names and Naming: Place-Names; and Technology, Outmoded: Slide Rule from this episode.Have you missed an episode or two or several?You can begin reading at the beginning or you can catch up by visiting the archive or consulting the index to the Topical Guide.You can listen to the episodes on the Personal History podcast.
