Life Lessons

It's a great time of year for reflection and perspective. This month's podcast guests offer their life wisdom on career paths, retirement, and what makes Harrisburg a great place to live.   Guests include: Freelance writer Diane McCormick, who previews her upcoming story about Harrisburg ranking #2 on U.S. News & World Report's Best Places to Retire in the U.S. Thomas Sweet, newly-retired pastor of Harrisburg's Market Square Presbyterian Church, who shares the best advice he ever received—and much more. Carl Shuman, a retired Harrisburg lawyer who has found a new career as a writer and children's book author. Plus Lawrance Binda, editor of TheBurg, pops in for his monthly feature, "The Most Harrisburg Thing"—and ties into this theme of beginnings and endings in a very Harrisburg way.   Special thanks as always to Harrisburg band YamYam for our podcast music.   Backstories that coordinate with this episode include: A Real Joy | Timeless Tales | Editorial: Greetings, Governor   Every month, TheBurg Podcast expands stories from the pages of TheBurg magazine because "there's always more to the story."
