Relationships in the Digital Age
Creating profiles, taking compatibility tests, trying to figure out which of your interests make you sound cool, and finding a picture that doesn’t make you look like you haven’t showered in a month… the trials and tribulations of online dating can make us nostalgic for the days of sidling shyly up to someone in a bar. And all this comes after picking which of the hundreds of dating sites is right for you, and before sifting endlessly through unintelligible or unpromising replies, or worse - wondering why no one has replied at all. Join us this Tuesday for a look at dating in the digital age - how it’s better, how it’s worse, and how to go about it in the first place.

The Business of Performing Arts
For many of us this time of year, it’s a tradition to sink back into a cushy seat and get lost in the magic of The Nutcracker. The Sugar Plum fairies may get all the credit, but have you ever thought about the part of the performing arts we don’t see? Arts organizations have to pay the bills just like the rest of us, which means they need the staff to raise funds, organize volunteers, draw up financial plans, and promote their events so those cushy chairs are full of patrons. It’s the business behind performing arts - tune in this Monday we learn more about it, with a panel of experts from local arts organizations. This show is from our archive, so we won’t be taking calls.
