What a year 2017 was! And after a fortnight’s break to ponder its Deepest Inner Meanings, the Cafe team will consider, muse upon, and justify it as The Year in Books January 6.
We did 49 programs, losing only two to life’s exigencies: technical gremlins in February, and a hurricane in September. We welcomed dozens of guests, hundreds of new social media followers, and our first majority-overseas audience. We spun off a sharp weekly news program.
We had controversies! And laughter! And wows and likes and shares!
Join us all- Steve and Edie, Thorne, Kara, Allan and Lin- for 2017: Look Back, We’re Forgetting Stuff Already, this Saturday.
