Make certain you are delirious with hunger this week when tuning into Great Taste.  Wait a minute!  That's not what I meant.  Please eat before listening (unless you have the good fortune to live close to the studio and can stop by)!  The most delicious 60 minutes on radio will tantalize your taste buds with creations from local culinary artist, Avi Pogel.  Avi, who has an abiding passion for chestnuts, will use those little winter treats as part of a cream sauce to go along with his brussels sprouts (I can't believe that I have spent my entire life not knowing that the vegetable is brussels sprouts, not brussel sprouts until this moment (Thank you, Avi).  Listen up, especially everyone in colder climates, as Avi will deliver a primer on winter vegetables and root cellars as part of our discussion.

Hilary Jordan and the Fairfield Dance Company return to the Sondheim Center for Fairfield Music: A Dance Gala for two performances, Thursday, March 3 and Friday, March 4 at 7:30 p.m. The performances will be choregraphed to music made by local artists, which of course includes local women!  This week on Lyrical Venus we'll hear a few of those songs.

For the second half we'll hear from LA-based artist Jen Hirsh.  Her new album, Myself in Two, drops today!  Her soulful blending of jazzy, folky pop will have you hooked on the first listen.

Tune in to Lyrical Venus from 9-10am Central for the two interviews!

Please join us this week for Writers’ Voices with Monica and Caroline as we hear from two local authors.

Carol Bodensteiner will join us from 1 to 1:30 to talk about her book, Growing Up Country: Memories of an Iowa Farm Girl. While she then heads to the Fairfield Public Library to give a talk at 2pm, we’ll be joined by another Iowa author, Lance OKones, from 1:30 to 2:00.
