In this episode, we invite George Mauro, formerly of AV Tech at Stanford Medicine, to the café where we discuss birds, Piggly Wiggly, his experience in theatre, including those with Jessica, and his decades-long career in video production from college to Stanford Medicine. We also talk about the circumstances that led to his semi-retirement, along with how he's adjusting to the new normal during the COVID-19 pandemic.
For our Treat of the Day, we break down the poem "A Bird came down the Walk" by Emily Dickinson, where we allegorize the relationship between human and bird to the one between instructor and learner. We also dive into the show "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend," Dolly Parton, and the "Remembrance of Earth's Past" trilogy by Liu Cixin.
On a final note, as this is the last show before Election Day, we encourage our listeners to go vote! Check out http://www.vote.org to learn more on how to register and where to vote.
