I heard a bit of the “Safe at Home” and “A Modest Reception” as I was driving yesterday (May 10th, Saturday) evening.

How to become a ‘supercommunicator’
Not that I personally am aspiring to become a “super communicator”, I can’t help wanting to better in this area. It is something I have wanted for a long time, if not always.
But my own desires aside, it is an interesting topic. Why are some individuals better at this than others? There probably is something about it that cannot be replicated / learned but maybe there is some aspects that can be. Also, what is it to be a super communicator?
A while back one of my managers, or maybe it was my CS Network Professor, told me that most communications fail because no one actually pays attention to what was said and what was heard.

Having Children
Heard on the Radio on my morning drive (Monday Sept 16th, ’24) to work this program that was talking about couples, with more emphasis on women, deciding to have fewer children. Specifically their own biological children. This of course was / is interesting enough of a toipc for more details but the host hinted at how this was being played by the various political sides and also the implication a possible shrinking population, i.e., workforce, has on the Social Security payout.
But before going into all that the host, Meghna Chakrabarti, started the two day program by speaking with Catherine Ruth Pakaluk – author of “Hannah’s Children: The Women Quietly Defying the Birth Dearth”.
I only got to the beging of the interview when I got to work and had decided that I would look up the episode and listen to it in it’s totality. While I have bookmarked the episode, I have yet to heave listen to it fully 😦 But I do plan to. Soon.

Finding Happiness
Yeap, it happened yet again – I was driving and on the radio I heard the following program / show “Finding Happiness“.
The very first chance I got, I searched for the program on my phone. Found it and made a “note” of it.

Best Years
Earlier this morning while driving I was listening to KUT / NPR like I usually do and Hidden Brain was playing. The Best Years of Your Life was the particular episode that was playing and it really caught my attention.
For once it was being discussed as a natural progression, even a desired one. And not one to be dreaded.
