Portions of this episode originally appeared on WSCA Portsmouth Community Radio. Thank you Dan and Phil.

Recorded March 2018 - June 2019

Special thanks to Christi Little for invaluable editing advice, and Lizzy Goodman for unknowingly suggesting a format.

The audio mostly gets choppy around big laughs. The rest of it is OK. But I also talk fast, so I would recommend reading along, just in case:

Today's ep is a direct sequel to the last one, "Systemic Understanding." We talk to Sarah Wrightsman, the Executive Director of the Workforce Housing Coalition of the Greater Seacoast. We also talk to Steven Hedlund and Becky Holt of the Global Aquaculture Alliance, and check back in with Elena Piekut, assistant city planner in NH's only city doing anything right, Dover NH. 

We cover a lot of ground in this one, but really, it's about one question: how do you know that what you're doing is working?

Shoutout to my pal Fred Balas, who tipped me off to Sarah's many acronyms.

Today's episode is about endings, but also about beginnings, and holidays, and social media, and the Old Internet, and the Chef's Table, and Arlo's musical preferences, and La Blogotheque, and creative crises/depressive episodes (I have a hard time telling the difference).

Thanks for listening. The plan is to have a new episode ready every two weeks for a couple of months.

In today's episode, Morgan and Zac talk about OH HOLY FOOLS and ONE JUG OF WINE, TWO VESSELS -- probably the two albums they eached looked most forward to discussing, respectively, when this podcast started. They also decide, with 90% certainty, who is singing in "We Are Free Men," and then start a new religion based on the teachings of David Bowie.

Other topic include:

-Michael Pollan's show "Cooked"

-Black Mirror's "Bandersnatch"

-Paul Rust's bass guitar skillz

-Mac Miller (again)

-Cover songs they like

-Why it's OK to not know a song is cover

-Oboards, the Conor Oberst Reddit Board

-James Gunn

-What makes a song good for jamming

-Why "City Morgan" no longer wishes to "f**k" people

-Why Louis CK doesn't deserve another shot

-The Other Morgan Little

-How much it still sucks that Elliott Smith is dead

-A lot of stuff about drums and drummers

-Pedro The Lion's famous bassist

Thanks for listening!
