Until I've Written About It with Jane Durrell | Host Jenny Stanton welcomes Jane Durrell, journalist, PR professional and art critic to the Podcast Edition. Jane Durrell was a PR person, working at the Cincinnati Art Museum for almost twenty years in public relations. She is a journalist as well, a career that she practices today writing for City Beat and many art magazines. She defined the difference between two professions: A PR person is saying to the public from the inside, "See what is here." A journalist, reporting from the outside, says, "This is what I see." Today we hear her read three pieces of her writing, all very different from each other. The first piece is a letter to Henry James, the American writer who spent most of his life in Europe in the late nineteenth century. Jane, a traveler in the 21st century, tells Mr. James what has changed and what has not in Florence and Siena since he published Italian Hours in 1909. Her second piece is a November 2011 article in City Beat about her trip to Egypt. What started as a trip to see antiquities turned into a trip to report the unrest and upheaval in Egypt. Because Jane is a journalist, she was able to talk to many Egyptians, not just the people on the barricades. Her third reading is from an interview she conducted with Katie Laur, a well-known jazz and blue grass singer in Cincinnati. Her own writing is often inspired by a lifetime of reading. Jane Austen, Joan Didion and Peter Schjeldahl, art critic for The New Yorker, are three of her favorites. Photo courtesy of Connie Springer. | 1/19/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Previously Unmentionables: Humor with Sandy Lingo | Jenny Stanton hosts Sandy Lingo, teacher, writer, traveler and humorist, as she navigates the landscape of aging, foreign countries and a move into the city.

Her status as retired teacher, "the best kind," allows for travel with family to exotic locales such as China, South America and Europe. In contrast to the typical guidebook, her writing offers suggestions on toilets - the cleanest and the most challenging. Finally, as Sandy shares stories of she and her husband's move to downtown Cincinnati, she relishes not only in the new found humor and love, but freedom too. Listeners will want to age along with Sandy, in the hopes they too will find the laughter amidst the altered body parts!

Superfriends with Jeff Smith | In this special one-hour show, Annette Januzzi Wick hosts Jeff Smith in The Podcast Edition. Jeff is a writer, professor, German translator and father of Whit Smith, who became an inmate at the Terre Haute Penitentiary following a burglary conviction. Through letters exchanged with his son, Jeff offers a glimpse into Whit’s world while in prison. Though Whit had been silenced via solitary confinement, Jeff’s authenticity in his relationship with his son, helped form Whit’s voice, a voice growing through wisdom, humor, learnings, and hopes for a future vocation and relationship. Following Whit's additional charge of assault while in prison, which Whit denied involvement, Jeff received the news that his son, deciding he could no longer tolerate his present conditions, had committed suicide. Whit’s prescient words from a Father’s Day letter, and the response of family friends, left Jeff with a comforting message – “Be kind to yourself. Take joy in who your son is.” The words of Jeff and Whitney Smith will be staged as a play produced by the Cincinnati Ensemble Theatre (www.cincyetc.com ) for the 2011-2012 season.

Together with host Annette Januzzi Wick, Dawn leads three young women through their writing and their life, as they identify how writing has instilled a sense of confidence and helped them transform. ShaTawn recites an "I Remember" poem about a devastating relationship, and "Things My Father Taught Me," pieces where writing helped "get things off her chest." In a moving tribute to her mother, ShaTawn writes, "she made me who I am today." Antonett reflects on her father with an "I Remember" poem, recounting a painful moment in her life, while also celebrating her power through "I Am a Growing Adult." Constantly journaling, Antonett feeds her dreams and understands how writing can lead to the realization of those dreams. Allena and her words echo the positive upbeat young woman that she is, noting "my writing tells my story" and understands that "its better to write than to take out my anger on people." Her "I Am" and "I Am From" poems show her heart how she "writes what I want to be." Finally, Dawn and Leslie discuss the challenges facing these young women. "I worry about where people will sleep at night," writes Leslie.
