A mental health counselor and speech-language pathologist will discuss the multitude of aspects of interpersonal communication and relationships, and provide tips and tricks for improving your interpersonal communication skills.

Elementary Dr. Watson is a live call-in show dedicated to helping people live their best lives. Done in a coaching format, action-oriented style, listeners can call in using an anonymous name if preferred, identify a desired life change, and then collaboratively agree on a series of small, specific actions to help achieve their desired goal. The focus is personal change, not an attempt to change anyone else. No diagnosing, no advice giving, no judgment. The listener is encouraged to call, text, or chat back to report to the listening audience how things are going and then identify the next steps toward goal achievement. The show will be quick-moving, fun, and supportive to the caller. Once a month, Dr. Watson will interview the director of a local social service organization to describe available services and the best way to access help.

Along with Beethoven’s fifth symphony and Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor, this is one of the most recognizable openings in classical music.  For most listeners, it conjures images of Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 film “2001: A Space Odyssey.” For others, it brings to mind a seemingly endless list of other movies, television programs, and commercials - or perhaps the opening of hundreds of Elvis concerts in the 1970s.

It was the end of 1883, and Gustav Mahler experienced heartbreak. Mahler conveyed the experience in a letter to a friend, alluding to a new work: 'I have written a song cycle,” he wrote, “six songs, all of which are dedicated to her. The songs were conceived as if a wayfaring man had suffered a heavy fate and now goes out into the world, wandering aimlessly. This six-part song cycle would ultimately become “Songs of a Wayfarer”.  This week on Noted, hosted by Eric Garcia. Mahler's seminal song cycle, Songs of a Wayfarer.
