It's finally summer!

Local multi-disciplinary artist Terry Janoure is embarking on a new musical journey at Bombyx on June 25th. This new work titled "Secret to Life" highlights the lives of older women of color and is based on an ongoing series of interviews Janoure conducts. We talk with her and Linda McInerney of Eggtooth Productions, who are helping to bring this to the stage, about the importance of these stories and their retelling through music.
And we're joined by The Word Nerd, Emily Brewster, Senior Editor at Merriam-Webster who guides our attention to a word they have been watching for a while: "parasocial". And we'll get into how a word might incur the watchful eye of our local dictionary here in Springfield.
