Originally released in April 2020

We open with JFK’s 1963 case for smart federal spending and use it to frame a wide-ranging talk on coping, creativity, and community. We riff on insomnia, media literacy, nostalgia, DIY content, and the joy of small kindness as an antidote to stress.

JFK’s economic argument on spending, jobs, and growth
• coping with news fatigue and misinformation
• finding joy in music, magic, and DIY creativity
• sleep struggles, melatonin, and routines that help
• nostalgia for Globetrotters, Evel Knievel, and Zappa
• documentaries, archaeology, and the habit of discovery
• building a Roku channel and sustainable community
• gratitude for new patrons and listener participation

Smile more. It’s contagious too!
Let’s hear how you’re coping, how you’re helping, what you want to hear more of from us, essentially, how we can help.
