IN JUNE OF ‘21, I STEPPED DOWN AS HOST OF THE EXCHANGE ON NEW HAMPSHIRE PUBLIC RADIO AFTER 25 YEARS.

It was work that I loved doing and I know it deeply mattered to my audience. My team was great: three talented, caring producers and a manager who always supported me. All that, plus: I met so many amazing guests who shared their stories, their talents, their ideas with me, live on-the-air.

But I had to say good-bye to the news business. I had a new adventure to begin. It was time to take a different approach toward contributing to my state and the wider society .

So here’s just a taste of what I’ve been up to since I left…
Two major projects focused on mental health and wellness.
A strategic, statewide, community discussion series about civic strength.
Keynote speeches, talks, panel moderating for a dozen different events.
ReadLocalNH: A podcastthat celebrates New Hampshire's authors, local bookstores and their dedicated readers.
And of course…my own novel!
