January 27, 2026: Today's lessons

Today is all about learning. For those beginning life’s journey, we look at a local television show that’s given them a platform to challenge themselves and each other and bring the whole community together in the process. As Schools Match Wits is western Mass. grown and sustained, and has been highlighting the knowledge excellence of students in the area for 65 years. We’ll chat with executive producer Tony Dunne and host Beth Ward about the new documentary highlighting the show’s legacy in the region and beyond. Plus let you know how you can see the directors cut in a showing at our studios.And there’s also ways that all of us can learn to change the world. The Sojourner Truth School for Social Change Leadership offers free education classes to the public so that we all can learn how better to fight the good fight for ourselves and the world we’d like to see those changes in. We speak with board member and teacher Amihan Matias about the school’s founding and her upcoming class “And Still We Rise” which focuses on BIPOC women and genderqueer folx and discover more about shifts in the ways we frame leadership that can benefit everyone.
