We decided to hold this weeks editorial board meeting at Miya’s Sushi, one of our favorite restaurants in New Haven.
Over Chef Bun Lai’s creative, soulful, and sustainable cuisine – at the restaurant his mom started when there literally were no sushi restaurants in Connecticut – we gathered with three guest editors: Pam Landry, Mary Scanlon and Randye Kaye – our “fabulous female broadcasters in transition”.
These are smart, funny women, and their pitches reflected their shared sensibilities , with questions ranging from preparing for your next job (Pam), to correcting your friends (Mary), to modern-day “choice paralysis” (Randye).
duo says
Today’s show is about transitioning and how, when we change jobs, or when our children are revealed to be different than what we expected them to be, or even when you bite into a sushi roll that’s made of potato skins and not rice, we all see things in a different way – and a different way brings some questions into sharp relief that could formerly be glossed over.
It would be great to have everybody reading this to come up with their solutions to these quandaries:
1. How do you tell someone who knows you too well that their “helpful” criticisms of you are simply a power play? (Telling you about the piece of spinach in your teeth is a little different from correcting your pronunciation of a city’s name – but where do you draw the line?)
2. How do you “stop the madness” of being paralyzed by consumer choice? Is simply buying the cheapest product the best way to get to cut through the hype – what is your way to limit anxiety when decisions have to be made in the retail world?
