Lois Richter’s format for That’s Life is mostly interviews. Recurring topics include Davis activities and groups; work and life choices; philosophy and theory; plus birding, cooking, art, and other passions. Lois occasionally breaks into music — from ballads to the slack key sounds of Hawaii to golden oldies rock 'n' roll — but mostly there is just talk.
To suggest a topic for discussion or a person to interview, text Lois or leave a message in the comments here.
Lois seldom (but occasionally) updates her other website. Check it out at https://BirdingWithLois.global

That's Life in IRAN -- Samaneh and Navid share storiesThu, 06/29/2017 - 2:05pm | Lois Richter
Professionals visiting Davis as Fellows in the Hubert H Humphrey Fellowship Program come from all over the world. This year eleven colleagues from ten different countries worked and studied here from August 2016 to June 2017. (Hear more about the Program on our May 25th show.) Two of those Fellows -- Samaneh Seifollahi-Aghmiuni and Navid Ghajarnia -- agreed to come back and be on my show again. Today Samaneh and Navid share stories about their lives and information about their homeland. They also speak of experiences they had visiting Davis and suggest ways that listeners can help when they meet a foreign visitor in the future. Navid's strongest suggestion? "Speak slowly!" As always, your comments are welcome. |
