Sobre IBD

In Loose Connections: Still More Irregular Essays from Public Radio, David Bouchier brings humor and insight to the quirks and perplexities of everyday life. These entertaining commentaries were first broadcast on stations of the WSHU Public Radio Network in Long Island and Connecticut, where Bouchier’s ironic wit has made him one of the best-known public radio personalities in the region. He is also the host of the podcast 'A Few Well Chosen Words.'Loose Connections features radio commentaries about our vanishing memories of history, the delusions of politics, the plague of self-esteem, the disappearance of table manners, and the fads, festivals, and celebrations that lead us day by day through the year, whether we like it or not. They all find a place in this new collection of thoughtful observations and whimsical opinions
