In this Story... with Joanne GreeneThe War on ZoomIn this story...The war on Zoom. I’m Joanne Greene.It started slowly, tentatively. Those of us living outside of Israel had joined a zoom call to support our friends, fellow writers with whom we’d been meeting virtually since the start of Covid. We’d become a community and had been present, to hold one another through tough times – the loss of a grandchild, the end of a marriage, the crime of a brother-in-law, the passing of a beloved grandfather, the horrors of October 7th. We’re Writers Near and Far, mostly living in the U.S. and Israel...2025-06-2806 min

In this Story... with Joanne GreeneA Nearly Extinct Private LanguageIn this story, a nearly extinct private language. I’m Joanne Greene.Every family has its special phrases. You know, the ones that crack you up while everyone outside of the immediate circle tilts their heads like a dog saying “huh”? Can you ever agree on whether it’s mischievous or mischeivious? (The former.) Is it “on accident” or “by accident”? Clearly, the latter.In 2002, years before my sister Rayna was too sick to laugh, her husband created a lengthy document entitled The Joys of Raynglish, “the language of Rayna Gay Rosenzweig Rodvien.” To begin, everyone in Rayna’s life had a...2025-06-1004 min

In this Story... with Joanne GreeneSleep InterruptusIn this story, sleep interruptus. I’m Joanne Greene.When I opened my eyes, I noticed that I was in a very comfortable bed, my son’s bed, that is my son and his wife’s bed, the fourth bed I’d slept in that night. This nighttime bed hopping is part of my role as grandma. Yoyo, they call me. It’s a moniker first shared by my great nephew, now 25 years old. The night began with a reading of Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, a classic story that teaches acceptance of differences, kindness, tolerance, and flexibility, with a healthy dos...2025-05-1604 min

In this Story... with Joanne GreeneThere's More Than One Boston AccentIn this story, there’s more than one Boston accent. I’m Joanne Greene.For many, if not most of you, the words “merry”, “marry” and “Mary” are all pronounced the same way. Merry, merry, merry. But for me, born and raised just outside of Boston, they are three distinct words…Listen closely.“Merry” is generally associated with Christmas, as in MERRY Christmas.“Marry” is what happens at a wedding. She will MARRY her partner.And “Mary” is a name. Mary J Blige…Mary Oliver…Mary Quite Contrary.There’s nothing that gives me the heeby jeebies more than someone tryi...2025-05-0204 min

In this Story... with Joanne GreeneMy Relationship With WordsIn this story, my relationship with words. I’m Joanne Greene.When I was 2 years old, they couldn’t shut me up. I babbled with unintelligible sounds until I landed a few words and, from then on, it was Chatty Cathy. Continuous communication. By the way, Chatty Cathy was a doll in the late 50s early 60s who spoke when you pulled her string, a doll my parents would not let me have, for obvious reasons. They didn’t need more words. To save their sanity, they sent me to preschool at age 2 which, in 1956, was damn near revolutionary. Wo...2025-04-0405 min

In this Story... with Joanne GreeneEscaping FlamesIn this story, I escape some flames. I’m Joanne Greene.It was 1979 in San Francisco, and I was flying high as a news anchor at the legendary FM radio station, K-S-A-N, affectionately called KSAN. I was in love with Fred Greene, morning show producer and part time jock, and my career was the envy of aspiring radio journalists. Metromedia, KSAN’s parent company, had brought in a new General Manager from Los Angeles to “right the ship.” He’d successfully turned big profits at KMET in LA and the suits in NY thought his approach would work in SF. Howeve...2025-03-2104 min

In this Story... with Joanne GreeneWhat to Take When Forced to EvacuateIn October of 1991, we lived in the Oakland Hills…the area in which the tunnel fire, also known as the Oakland Firestorm, killed 25 people, injured 150 others, and devoured 2,843 single-family dwellings and 437 apartments. Thankfully, our home was unharmed but the same could not be said for many of our friends. Before the fire was controlled, we were briefly allowed into our home to salvage precious belongings. We took videotapes, photo albums, and journals – irreplacables. We thought about taking the bird but concurred that having our family and dog at my sister’s house was enough of an imposition. We loaded up Birdy’...2025-03-0704 min

In this Story... with Joanne GreeneTaking Our TemperatureIn this story, we take our temperature. I’m Joanne Greene.Now I understand why the elderly have always worn cardigans. They’re easier to put on and take off when our collective thermostats die.Case in point. This morning. There was frost on the ground, so I bundled up before taking my dog and grand dog for a forest therapy walk in the woods. Gloves, a beanie, and a parka seemed about right. And it was. For about 10 minutes. Then, off came the hat; I’ve never liked things on my head. Fifteen minutes later, the gloves came o...2025-02-2103 min

In this Story... with Joanne GreeneShameless Maternal PrideSafe to say, we all want the same for our children – that they feel loved and valued, that they respect themselves and others, and that they be resilient. If you’re lucky enough to see your child become a parent, you’re in for a treat. You get to watch from the sidelines as they learn what it means to give selflessly, to love from the very deepest place in their hearts, and to hopefully practice the best of what you strove to impart.My older son spent a month at his in-laws home in San Malo, France recently, and to...2025-02-0705 min

In this Story... with Joanne GreeneThe Meaning of Showing UpIn this story, the meaning of showing up. I’m Joanne Greene.My eldest cousin passed away. He was 91. We knew it was coming. But that doesn’t make it any easier for his one and only daughter, who valiantly navigated caring for him from afar as his condition deteriorated and his undaunting spirit led him to continue working in his legal practice, attempting to drive, and making questionable decisions that led to numerous ER visits and hospital stays. He remained in Boston, the city in which he lived his whole life while she, her husband and identical twin 6 year...2025-01-1004 min

In this Story... with Joanne GreeneA Look Ahead to 2025In this story, a look ahead to 2025. I’m Joanne Greene.Vision boards are easy. You look through magazines and find photos of places you’d like to go, outfits you’d see yourself wearing, cars you’d want to drive, vacations you’d like to take.When creating a verbal vision board, there are no suggestions, no ideas from which to choose. You’re making the cake from scratch, without a mix or a recipe.2025 sounds like the far-off future, yet it’s moments away. In 1979, I hosted a radio show called “The 80’s”, filled with interviews and...2024-12-2004 min

In this Story... with Joanne GreeneDualitiesOften, we hold two truths simultaneously. It's a skill that humans develop, an art form for some of us. In this episode of "In This Story," Joanne Greene speaks about dualities - about the messages we tell ourselves and how we're always balancing an inclination toward goodness and getting away with something. Here's an example of a duality: religion is the source of much conflict; religion is also what helps people to forgive, self-reflect, and rise about our instinct to get revenge.Joanne’s book, “By Accident: A Memoir of Letting Go” is now available from your favorite online...2024-01-0503 min
