Can I read this? Yes. Did I still go with the voice-over? Hell yes. Missed hearing your voice every other week!

Uplifting, inspiring and beautiful. So perfect for this time of the year. Thank you for giving me a new word to describe so I can describe how I feel better!

I love this new perspective on hosting and being with people. So often we think of holding back and not wanting to impose that it's easy to forget how simply being comfortable in someone else's presence is such a compliment. So good to read (and hear!) the story—nostalgia for the Rough Translation days!

I love this! I feel like people can get so focused on moving on to the next thing that we don't really think of our interactions as something that can even extend as long as we want them to. I really like that idea of how having a word for this might make it more a part of how we interact.

I read this right after leaving a potluck, so now I get to feel good about myself :). In fact it was the Boston Sonic Soiree, a long-running gathering of audio producers who share clips from our work and get feedback. Gregory if your friend is a radio type he should totally join us!
