What brought you to hosting a show on WICN? Why do you
love being on the air?
About 15 years ago, when
I was the chair of the Communications Program at Dean College, I went out to
WICN to look for internship opportunities for my students. I ended up talking
to the PD about music and got one myself. This has to be the longest internship
in radio history!
What is your favorite WICN memory?
One Monday night I got a
call that a longtime listener of the show wanted to drop something off for me.
Coworking spaces and the coronavirus pandemic were never going to be a great match.
Such spaces bring people together under a single roof where they can share common spaces and maybe benefit from sharing ideas with one another. The pandemic made all of that inadvisable.
The pandemic, though, may be putting coworking spaces and similar uses like incubators – all often open 24/7 for members to use – in a better position once the public health crisis has passed.
A few reasons may account for that, Central Massachusetts industry leaders say. Some have found themselves with more free time or spare money than they had before the recession. Others, forced or pre-emptively looking to change careers, are looking for a small, affordable space. A number of companies have or are expected to opt out of office leases and instead take up a coworking space membership for occasional staff meetings.
Chamber Corner: 145 years and still boosting economic development
By Timothy Murray
The Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce held its 145th Annual Meeting last week.
Congressman James P. McGovern was our keynote speaker and heralded the collaboration among business, government, institutional and neighborhood leaders over the last 15 years as being a key factor in Worcester’s success in bringing new levels of investment to the city. The congressman also talked about opportunities under a Biden administration to advance local economic development and transportation projects. He also recognized that we all have a role to play in addressing issues of racial justice and economic opportunity.
