(Airdate: January 27, 2025) We’re on a stretch of paved highway that runs the length of theGansu Corridor, paralleling the Great Wall. Wuwei is behind us, and before us is the town of Zhangye. The only sign of civilation in between is the town of Shandan, and it’s not much of a sign. Shandan’s only claim to fame is a New Zealander who came there to set up an arts school.

#258 Maggie Emery: Flying Off to College
(Airdate: January 21, 2025) Maryanne interviews Maggie Emery, a hometown girl just back for winter break from her very first semester at Smith College in Massachusetts. She was only four years old when her parents – a doctor and computer consultant – moved to Port Townsend. Think of it: the kids she met in preschool were the same kids she knew all the way through high school. Small circle indeed! Now she’s facing a much bigger world. And much smarter kids. In a small high school such as Port Townsend, it’s not overwhelmingly difficult to get good grades. She topped it off with being in ballet, on the robotics team, student government and even building a kayak as part of her Maritime studies program. Needless to say, she is now finding PT rather small. Can she handle the increased competition of a university?
