I'm Frickin' Lonely.How About You

31/01/2025

I sat down with Liz Lempert, former Mayor of Princeton, NJ to discuss her path from California to Princeton. It was circuitous and colorful, including Stanford, Oxford, the New York Times DC Bureau, C*c (early AI), NPR's "Living on Earth" and ultimately to Princeton, joining the Township Committee and then the mayorship.

Now at Princeton University in the Office of the Dean for Research, Liz is channeling all her previous experience into her new position. And as ever, she's committed to championing the cause of affordable housing.

It’s been a while since I published an episode of I’m Frickin’ Lonely…Tell Me Your Story!” But I am happy to report I have a great one coming up.

Back in early 2022, I interviewed Carol Markowitz when we discussed her work in the field of autism, her interest in and writing about WWII history, and importantly, her work with Sidai Resource Centre in Kenya.

In the upcoming episode, we’ll revisit the important work of the Sidai Centre. It’s founder, Sarah Lesiamito, channeled her own suffering from the Maasai practice of FGM (female ge***al mutilation) and child marriage into creating a home, a school and a sanctuary to save other girls from this horrific practice. Carol, along with another benefactor of the Centre, Patricia King will visit me in my studio on November 12 to share Sarah’s story and give us an update on this important work. Stay tuned!

Last week marks my two-year anniversary of starting this podcast. For me, it's achieved exactly what I started out to do and more...keeping me from being lonely, learning what great things people are achieving and sharing those stories with whoever will listen! It's been great and I intend to keep on going! Thank you to whoever has listened! And thank you to all my guests (pictured below)

Just uploaded my final episode of 2023! A fun conversation with Joan Bartl, a real fighter for women's rights and gender equality. And all round great person. (Of course, ALL my guests fit that latter description, I must say...)

Dropped the latest episode! An interview with Landon Jones, author of the new book "Celebrity Nation: How America Evolved into a Culture of Fans and Followers." Lanny was also Managing Editor of People and Money magazines (hence the Telly Savalas cover of People) and has great stories to tell about his roots, love of libraries, books, literature and history. While his books are acclaimed, I am particularly pleased to have interviewed the person who coined the term "Baby Boomer".

Last week we attended the 40th Anniversary Gala for Centurion Ministries Centurion was the first innocence project in the U.S. and specializes in representing, defending and freeing the wrongly convicted all across the country. It then provides support to help them rebuild their lives. In the last 40 years, they have freed 70 individuals who were wrongly convicted and were mostly serving life sentences. Amazing work!

One of my early podcast guests, Alan Maimon who is an investigator for Centurion, took the stage to share one of their exonerees' gut wrenching story of mistaken identity and police/government corruption. Dwayne Leblanc had been imprisoned in Louisiana for 28 years for a murder he clearly had not committed. His and the stories of many other wrongfully incarcerated people were both horrifying and uplifting.

Centurion's team members are tireless in their dogged pursuit of justice! Another speaker was the novelist John Grisham, who has been involved with the organization for over 15 years. Thanks to Charlie Yedlin for inviting us to his table.

The latest episode of my podcast is a conversation with Carol Golden. A former teacher and attorney, Carol tells us how she decided to dedicate her time searching for ways to help those who are in the greatest need. After involvement in many wonderful organizations, she's currently settled on affordable housing and women's reproductive rights as the recipient of her energies. I can get behind both of those, to be sure!

So grateful to Tawanda McCrae, founder of The Red Queen Foundation, (and former guest on this podcast) for organizing a wonderful Mothers’ Day brunch at HomeFront family shelter in Trenton. Along with another previous guest, Lauren Krause-Malave we served brunch and gave gift bags to moms, some dads, and their children to honor them on this special day. Also with us were Dawn and her daughter Kennedy. Dawn is with The Father Center of NJ, an organization who was also featured on one of my podcasts!
Also with us were Lauren’s mom, Tawanda’s mom, and good friend, Tammy Chester. Wonderful day.
