    The Loneliness Epidemic: What Are We Missing?

    What does it mean to be lonely, and what can we do about it? On this episode of Top of Mind, psychiatrist Dr. Frank Clark explains why loneliness is a public health issue and why it doesn’t always look the way we expect. Charlotte Donlon, author of The Great Belonging, explores loneliness as a longing for belonging, while game designer Matt Fantastic shares how his board-game shop is creating a “third space” where strangers can connect. Together, they ask whether loneliness is something to solve, something to listen to, or both.

    The Untold Story of How America Remembers 9/11 – PART 2

    What does it take to create a new American tradition? For years, Jay Winuk and David Paine have been fighting to transform September 11th into a National Day of Service. Now, just when their effort seems stuck, help arrives from an unexpected place. But getting Washington on board is only the beginning. How do you turn an idea into something millions of Americans will actually do year after year? And as more Americans grow up with no firsthand memory of 9/11, can service preserve something important about the way the country responded in its aftermath? In Part 2, host Julie Rose follows the surprising final chapters of an effort to change what 9/11 means on the American calendar and explores what it takes to keep the memory of that day alive for generations who weren't there to experience it.

    The Untold Story of How America Remembers 9/11 – PART 1

    Every September 11th, millions of Americans honor the victims of 9/11 by volunteering and doing good in their communities. But how did the anniversary of the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil become a National Day of Service? In Part 1 of “The Untold Story of How America Remembers 9/11,” host Julie Rose traces the idea back to the aftermath of the attacks, when Americans responded to tragedy with an extraordinary outpouring of service and unity. After losing his brother Glenn—a volunteer firefighter and EMT who rushed to the World Trade Center to help—Jay Winuk joined his longtime colleague David Paine with an ambitious idea: What if Americans could recapture that spirit of unity every September 11th through service? They had no staff, no budget and no roadmap for navigating Washington. And turning their idea into a national tradition would prove much harder than they imagined. GUESTS Jay Winuk, co-founder of 9/11 Day David Paine, co-founder of 9/11 Day Terry Sears, nonprofit leader and former executive director of Tuesday’s Children Fred Dombo, attorney and lobbyist who helped lead the effort in Washington Learn more and find opportunities to serve at https://www.911day.org/ Other resources for volunteer and service opportunities: https://www.americorps.gov/serve/volunteer/911-day https://createthegood.aarp.org/ https://www.justserve.org/ CHAPTERS (0:00) Introduction (2:04) Glenn Winuk Story (4:04) Grief and Unity (9:18) David Paine Idea (12:39) Nonprofit Aftermath (16:06) No Holiday Just Action (17:13) Enter Fred Dombo (19:52) Roadblocks on Capitol Hill (22:46) Breakthrough Resolution (24:44) Not Done Yet (25:35) Part Two Tease
