The Sandwich Club Ep 11 - Money Money Money Money Money Money Money has a funny way of getting louder as we get older. In this episode, we're talking about retirement worries, second jobs, side hustles, budgeting, and the strange things we're willing to spend money on while telling ourselves we need to cut back. We're also exploring whether AI can help us get our finances under control—or whether it's just another thing we're paying for. Most of us thought we'd feel more financially sorted by now. Instead, we're still making it up as we go, just with bigger numbers and slightly more expensive mistakes. The Sandwich Club is for women in the middle — juggling kids, parents, work, money, bodies and everything in between. Listen

The Joy of Classical Music Ep 161 - The Outsiders The Joy of Classical Music - Episode 161: The Outsiders. What is an outsider composer? Generally outsider composers occupy the fringes of the classical tradition. Creating music on their own terms, they are unconcerned with accepted rules, prevailing fashions or institutional approval. Some build entirely new physical instruments to reproduce the sounds they hear in their heads and they often create their own notation systems, scales, or tuning structures. That’s Moondog and Harry Partch, but Julius Eastman was a different kind of outsider, one made by conviction, circumstance and temperament.
