Notes from the Electronic Cottage 12/22/16

Producer/Host: Jim Campbell

As millions of people unwrap electronic gizmos this holiday season, we offer one unconventional and potentially annoying suggestion: read the license before clicking “Accept.” A cartoon strip may have offered the best indication of why that is a good idea.

Special thanks to Bill Solomon

This Solstice edition of Maine Currents features stories about holidays, families and winter in Maine. Rev. Dr. Anu Dudley (host of WERU’s “Earthwise” feature which airs Saturdays at 7:30) kicks things off with a look at the history of Solstice celebrations, then we hear from storytellers Marjorie Longwood of Surry, Edee Howland of Blue Hill, Cathy Mink of Waldo and Roger Sprague of Belfast. We close out the hour with some voices from the past- a 2006 holiday special recorded at WERU.
