Love this idea!

That sounds great

Neat idea. Keep me posted!

Thanks for another great idea Cori.

Sounds like a great way to get together and Collaborate.  Lets see who we can put together to organize some dates and times.

We are going to give this a whirl!

Podcast Club

Last Thursday of the Month at Lunch (For starters. Totally negotiable if other days/times work better for more people)

First Meeting – January 30 at 11:30am, Prairie Point Loft (Lunch and Chat)

First Podcast: Alan Alda’s Clear + Vivid

Season 1, Episode 1: Sarah Silverman and the Joy of Enjoying People You Don’t Agree With

Release Date: 07/10/2018

Alan Alda talks with comedian Sarah Silverman about how she befriended someone who was hateful toward her on Twitter, and how her new series on Hulu challenges her to connect with people that she doesn’t agree with. Her question to us is “Can Americans put down their “porcupine needles” and really listen to one another again?”

Listen to the podcast and be ready to dive into discussion on disagreeing and compassion. Be prepared to answer 7 short questions!

Hope to see you this Thursday for Podcast Club! Come prepared with other topics you would like to cover next time :)

Great idea! Looking forward to the first Podcast at the end of this month!

A few of us had a great discussion yesterday! We will be meeting again on Thursday, March 5th from 12:30-1:30pm at Prairie Point. We welcome suggestions for topics to cover via podcast and hope more people join us in March!

This is one of the great things the Professor loves about the Lab.

Sometimes we act as the conduit between the idea makers and the doers, other times it just happens on its own.

Thanks Cori for the great suggestion....and thanks Cori for making things happen.  The Professor thinks that is one of the cool things about the Oswegoland Park District is empowerment.

We hope the club keeps meeting regularly and make sure to send us the dates and times.  The Professor would love to come by and take a listen with everyone.

Be on the lookout for your A.T.O.M.
