Listener and friend of Word of Mouth Genevieve Haas stumbled upon a website recently that struck a chord with her. She sent us this:

Today on Word of Mouth, we’re stepping away from the live microphone to broadcast some of our favorite interviews from the past few months. Here’s a list of the segments in today’s show. Click on the links to listen to them and to find more information:

Physics of the Impossible - Physicist Michio Kaku explains the real science behind sci-fi

Here on Word of Mouth, we often cover topics related to environmental concerns and global warming (in fact, our Next Green Thing series specifically focuses on these issues). As people seek to learn more about the health of our planet, media outlets like ours are dedicating time and energy to covering the stories related to it.

When most public radio reporters want to tap into public opinion, they grab a microphone, hit the street, and start talking to random strangers.

Fereshteh Toosi basically did the same thing, only she dressed-up like a nurse, hauled around a crystal ball, offered people tea and rock candy, then asked them to predict the future.

Wednesday on Word of Mouth, we’re going back to summer camp, and we want your stories. Tell us about that counselor you had a giant crush on, or the fellow campers who scared the daylights out of you around the campfire. We want to hear about capture the flag, mess hall dining, and – of course – the friends you made back in the day.

Leave your comments below, or call our listener line at (603) 223-2448.

This Tuesday (6/17) on Word of Mouth, we're going to look at the way the American workplace is changing. The Millennial Generation is graduating from college and joining the workforce while the baby boomers are retiring later and holding onto their jobs longer. This makes for a mix of employees who span many years and several generations. As people with different work styles and communication styles begin to team up, it’s going to change the face of the modern workplace.

The world faces a lot of big problems -- poverty, AIDS, hunger, war, just to name a few. And the folks at the Nike Foundation say all of these problems can be fixed by girls.

This Thursday, we at Word of Mouth sadly said goodbye to our first-ever intern, Jake Eaton. Jake spent the past month with us, working hard to keep us on the air with fresh ideas and accurate information. You’ll still hear from Jake this fall when he resumes his post as one of our regular bloggers.

More often than not, it seems like people complain about their experiences in doctors offices and health centers. Either we wait too long for an appointment, or we don't get the time and attention we deserve, or we never really get to see our primary physician...and so on.

It can be difficult for even the wealthiest New Yorkers to find a place to park their cars. That's why architect Annabelle Selldorf is working on a car elevator alongside a 19-story apartment building in Chelsea. It would let residents keep their vehicles in a garage right next to their unit.
