A Ritual of Hospitality

from Neighbors · host Neighbors

This is a story about a ritual. A Chinese tea ceremony. It's used as a means to connect. Connect with the past, with people, with another land. Joshua Drake Wu invited me into his home to experience the joy of Chinese tea. I learned a lot of surprising things about tea, hospitality, and my neighbor. Make yourself a cup of your favorite leaf and listen. Also in this episode are the rituals of two of my podcasting colleagues Jonathan Hirsch of ARRVLSand Vannessa Lowe of Nocturne. They are two great shows you should check out. Special thanks to Jason Goforth and Dan Burns for some of the music in this episode.

Renovation Made Right David Bryan, Brenda Bryan, Merrill McNally Every homeowner has some fears about the remodeling industry. Just about every homeowner considering a remodeling project is nervous. They hear horror stories from their neighbors and friends about damage to homes, contractors taking deposits and never showing up, and even being sued by injured employees! That, in conjunction with the multitude of bad reviews on websites like Yelp and Google, makes the words “scary story” and “remodeling” practically synonymous. It does not have to be like this. Education is the key to a great remodeling experience! Join Dave and Brenda Bryan, veterans of the industry and owners of the successful and highly-respected design/build remodeling company Blackdog Builders, as they guide you through what you need to know when pulling together a remodeling project. Dave and Brenda will dive into the often confusing, misleading, and downright stressful world of residential remodeling. Whether you want to learn how to select the right project, or w Houston Matters Houston Public Media Houston Matters is a radio program airing weekdays at 9 am on Houston Public Media News 88.7 FM in Houston.

Just the sort of thing you count on from public media.
